[Trigger] How to remove units owned by a player that never started in the game

[Systim]

I hit a road block when I was trying to remove units owned by a player when there was no player in the first place. Like if I started a match without a full house, how can I remove the units owned by that color/player? I've already tried:
Events
Player - Player 1 (Red) leaves the game
Player - Player 2 (Blue) leaves the game
Player - Player 3 (Teal) leaves the game
Player - Player 4 (Purple) leaves the game
Player - Player 5 (Yellow) leaves the game
Player - Player 6 (Orange) leaves the game
Player - Player 7 (Green) leaves the game
Player - Player 8 (Pink) leaves the game
Player - Player 9 (Gray) leaves the game
Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) leaves the game
Player - Player 11 (Dark Green) leaves the game
Player - Player 12 (Brown) leaves the game

Conditions
None

Actions
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Triggering player)) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Unit - Kill (Picked unit)

which works fine with players that leave after starting the game but doesn't do anything for what I'm trying to do.

thanks for any help.

Wrong Event.

Event
Time - Elapsed game time is about .5 seconds.

Condition
dont need one

Action
Player Group - Pick players in (All Players)
If Then Else
~ If Picked Player Slot Status = Not Playing
~ Then Remove All units owned by Picked Player
~ Else

Yep, non-existent players don't leave the game... They just don't play...

Just follow what Just Spec said...

• Event
• Time - Elapsed game time is about .5 seconds.
• Condition
• dont need one
• Action
• Player Group - Pick players in (All Players)
• If Then Else
• ~ If Picked Player Slot Status = Not Playing
• ~ Then Remove All units owned by Picked Player
• ~ Else

Never remove units from game , that could cause some problems later . Add 1 second expiration timer to those units instead of removing

Really?

Why?

And how about if a unit is dead? You can't put an expiration timer on it...

 

[Numerion]

vicboy's trigger is good and useable so i dont know what you are talking about

 

[Eleandor]

RemoveUnit doesn't cause problems later... The only reason to really use expiration timer is for dummies, so you don't need to use wait actions.

 

[Systim]

alright thanks guys, I'll try it.

I think I'm doing it wrong, now I have:

Events:
Time - Elapsed game time is 0.50 seconds

Conditions:
None

Actions
Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Action)
-Loop Actions
If (((Picked player) slot status) Equal to is unused) then do (Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Picked player)) and do (Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game)) else do (Do nothing)

Did I over kill it or something? lol, thanks for the help again.

P.S. I'm new to map making for WC3.

not unused. not playing. and remove the Do nothing, it does nothing but take up space.

 

[Systim]

Nevermind that trigger ^^ removes ALL units from the map... I'm not sure why it seams to be ignoring the condition... problem is still UNSOLVED.

 

[Eleandor]

nand remove the Do nothing, it does nothing but take up space.

He can't, he's using the If/Then/Else 1 line action rather than the one with multiple lines so he must enter something in the "else" entry.

Changing "not used" status into "not playing" could help.

 

[Just_Spectating]

well his mistake, he should always use the multiple functions.

 

[Murmeli]

well his mistake, he should always use the multiple functions.

Why is that?

 

[Just_Spectating]

well you dont have to but its alot easier.
