Neutral Victim and Neutral Extra?

[supertoinkz]

Where are they used for? Asking because I would like to use them as dummy players for the dummies.

Moin moin =)

So just do it^^
For real: I don't think they have any function, because never detect a use of them in blizzard map for example. Maybe Blizzard had some space left and add them..

From Blizzard.j :

function InitBlizzard takes nothing returns nothing
    // Set up the Neutral Victim player slot, to torture the abandoned units
    // of defeated players.  Since some triggers expect this player slot to
    // exist, this is performed for all maps.
    call ConfigureNeutralVictim()
    ....
endfunction

So they are indeed used but I think it has no impacts on non-melee games (for what I know, they are only used to turn defeated players into neutrals). They consider each other players as allies but the other players consider them as enemies.

I don't know about Neutral Extra but you should be able to use them anyway.

Neutral victim is used in campaigns as units to be rescued as far as I know. Neutral extra is... just there to be there?

 

[GhostThruster]

Neutral Victim is just a 'player' that takes control of units that are to be rendered useless, if the player leaves, or through triggers. All players treat Neutral Victim as enemies, but Neutral Victim treats them as allies, or something. Rescuable units can belong to any player.

So it is okay to use them? Without any bugs?

No. Neutral Extras are rescuable units. Neutrals Victims are just what Tirlititi said.

Yes.

So, I can change their hostility towards a player?

They consider each other players as allies but the other players consider them as enemies.

Just like neutral hostile consider all players as enemies and vice verse!

So just change ally conditions with triggers and you are done
