map races

[Syth]

i have been making races 4 my map 2 play as e.g. naga, satyer, draenei ect
basically what i have done is created a dialog with all the races coming up, but i dont how to make it when u click on sumthing like naga, i can't make it create starting units, in a region, i am using a melee map i can make ne orc undead and human appear, but can't make other races appear,

if there is any chance of help i would appreciate it!

or if its unclear i can write it out again

Slightly unclear, but I'll do my best. The Triggers for Melee Map only bring up the NE/Orc/UD/Human starting units-ever. However, with simple triggers when the map starts up, you can just pick every unit in the map matching the peasant/acolyte/wisp/peon and matching starting structure and replace them with your own.

and what exactly re those triggers?

I'll tell you if your promise to add in missing letters to your words.

• Swapping Command Centers
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Town Hall)) and do (Unit - Replace (Picked unit) with a Draenie Building using The old unit's relative life and mana)

You just replaced the Town Hall with a Draenie building. Do that for all the starting units.

yes well, thanks 4 the help and the missing letters, well my other keyboard has been taken away and i'm stuck with a more useless one

That would probably replace the Town Hall of someone who chose Humans.

There is an event for when a dialog button is clicked, I think. Use those.

 

[Syth]

any chance of explaining everything, cause well i'm not the best at triggers

Personally, I would just create a draenei outpost at player X's starting location, instead of replacing the old human outpost. However, that means you have to remove the "create starting units" action at Melee Initialization trigger.

You need to use varuables. Create a variable called e.g NagaButton and others like this for the other races. The variable should be a Dialog Button.

• Set Variables Trigger
• Events -
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions -
• Actions -
  • Set Variable - Set NagaButton = Last clicked Button
  • Set Variable - Set SatyrButton = Last clicked Button
  • Comment - etc. races.

Then make the following trigger for every race, that when you click the button it will create a unit in your region

• Creation (1)
• Events
  • A button has been clicked for (your dialog)
• Conditiosn
  • Clicked button equal to Naga
• Actions
  • Unit - Create 1 NagaWorker (e.g) at (your region)

Or you may try replace the starting position or whatever with your building.
