[General] How do you create observers?

[StoPCampinGn00b]

Hi fellow bee, (cuz its hive) I need assistance. So I don't know how to create observers if you already have forces. Ofcourse if there are no forces there is an option to select 'observer', but you can select that option. How do you create 'preset' observers?

Thx its for my map Battle for Althias Lake Beta on epicwar.com.

Local Area Network --> Find the map --> Advanced Options --> Observers: Full Observers (Or if you want them to talk then select Referee).

I do know every map has observers... you will just have to turn it on at the Advance Option as what UI said.

I do know every map has observers...

Except if it's a 12 player map.

Yes but, if I host on battle.net (I host on Mbot), I dont get to change the advanced options. I made another force on my map called 'Observers' and I dont know how to make them observers from start (preset). I believe a DotA version has a force just for observing. Thats how I want to do it so I can edit my BETA's more efficiently.

I don't know what or how your map works, but to make a observers--

You could have the player wanting to observe type -obs
This will then run multiple triggers removing this player from all aspects of the game so no units spawn for them/they are not allied or unallied with anyone and do not gain or lose gold and then disable fog of war for the observing player.

Thank you pOke, that will help me a lot.

But, I do not know how to create that kind of trigger. I'll try to figure it out. Anyone could teach me though! thx in advanced.
