Player Shuffle Trigger?

[WanderingPeanut]

How could you make a trigger that would swap the units of several players in a group?

 

[Maker]

Make the question more clear. You really need to explain the situation in greater detail.

Like a units belonging to Player 1 switches team to Player 2, and vice verse? XD
Or just that all for example Footmen in Group 1 switches to Riflemen?

• Player Group - Remove (player) from Force1
• Player Group - Add (player) to Force2
• Player Group - Pick every player in Force2 and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Player - Make (Picked player) treat (player) as an ally with shared vision
    • Player - Make (player) treat (Picked player) as an ally with shared vision
• Player Group - Pick every player in Force1 and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Player - Make (Picked player) treat (player) as an enemy
    • Player - Make (player) treat (Picked player) as an enemy

You mean something like this?

Well in Dota shuffle player completly changes the players. With color and all units

 

[Pharaoh_]

He can also add the action

• Player - Change color of (player)

I believe the units will automatically embrace their new ownership, not 100% sure though.

Just make it dynamic.
Basically each start has certain units and such created for them.
The player for each start is selected randomly.
Both the start and the player is then removed from a list of available starts and it repeats.

If you have to use editor placed units, you can represent each start as a group (by picking all units of the start owner). You then choose a random player and then make all the units in the group to be owned by him and repeat again with both start and player removed. Any remaining players means you messed up game desin and any excess slots are removed (all units removed).

I want to have a player group, then shuffle the unit ownership between the players randomly. So Player 5 will have Player 1s units and Player 3 will have Player 5s units. If you see what I mean I think what Dr.Super Good sounds like the way to do it.

 

[Dr Super Good]

The programing way to do this is to have a list you loop through and then get random items from another list and combine them.

A list of players ingame is easy, this can be a force.
You then loop through the force (enum). For each player you choose one of the available slots (a list of groups which is an array going from 0 to number of groups which you choose the index at random as a random integer between 0 and the number of elements) and then give him all units of that group (an enum). You then remove that group from the list (slot of group = last element and reduce number of elements by 1). The loop repeats until every player has a group of units.

Finally any left over groups you enum through and remove or give to neutral hostile (no player to own them).

Efficent and garunteed to be random.

AFAIK Dota has triggered the playerslots to be dynamic, so not only the color of the player changes, but also his force and his index for the data.

But I guess that would be an overkill for you, so stick on the DSG idea.
