i need help with starting out on a map

[AlphaChicken]

i want it to be so that when the map starts players that arent there wont have their starting units. so if the slot is left open when you are hosting a game and no player is in that slot when the game starts that that player wont have starting units. (two towers, a barracks, and hero building wisp). also i have a problem that when a barracks dies the units wont stop spawning. i fixed this but it might just keep spawning after the building dissapears. i dont know. just please help me.

Try this, if you can understand it.

Öhm, the starting units are creating in the standard map init triggers, simply remove this trigger here:

Melee Game - Create starting units (for all players)

AlphaChicken wins the award for straight-out asking how to write the most triggers for the same map.

lol sorry if im getting annoying. i just suck with the trigger editor and just need to get the basic triggers. once i know them i start messing around and expirimenting. but i need to know where to start. If im getting annoying and you dont want to help anymore just tell me.

thats not what i mean. i placed a barracks two towers and a wisp that can make altars. i want it so that these are removed at the start of the map iof that player isnt playing.

So do what JPedid said - that should work.

EDIT: And don't worry about asking questions. In fact, I admire you for asking without being embarrased. You are helping to liven up the forum.

Yap, it should work with that trigger

Hm, just wondering. As long as a player is not playing, WE shouldn't create starting units (I think this is so when you used fixed player settings). Or am I wrong? (Could be, I'm tired so I don't know what I'm writing :lol: )

 

[AlphaChicken]

i did use fixed player settings
would that be it?

 

[DarkShadow]

Hm, if you used it...argh, I don't know, I'm to tired atm.

 

[oz02]

Yah, you must be really tired. Fixed Player Settings only sets the players to always be the same.
