[Solved] Players and Forces

[Sercy]

Hello there,

Is there any way to lock the player in a team when they join the game ? For example, creator of the game is (naturally) on the first slot as Player 1 and I want to prevent him from moving to any other team even if they are set as "Open". I am nearly sure there isn't such an option ... but maybe I am blind. "Fixed Player Settings" does not prevent players from switching their teams.

My goal is to make sure Player 1 is always taken, if that's any help.

Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about the lobby screen before the game starts, or during the game itself? In the lobby, I don't think there is a way to lock a player into a particular slot. You can block slots from being occupied by players.

What exactly are you trying to do with this?

I am talking about the lobby screen yeah. I couldn't find a way to do it but I wanted to know for sure.

I am trying to do it because there are some triggers (important ones) that use Player 1 as preset, meaning that if Player 1 is unused the trigger won't work properly. It's a minor but annoying nuisance.

Any chance to rewrite these triggers so they don't have a set player?

Not really but I could put if/then/else actions so that if Player 1 is absent then it would work with Player 2 and so on which is just too much work (there are many of them). I think I will just make it very obvious that Player 1 needs to be taken instead. I really wanted to know if there was a way to lock players like that but it seems not. I am glad that's cleared though.

Thank you for your attention

Shouldn't be too difficult. Something like this

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 24, do (Actions)
    Loop - Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                ((Player((Integer A))) slot status) Equal to Is playing
            Then - Actions
                -------- Do Cool Stuff --------
                Skip remaining actions
            Else - Actions

Yeah, I am actually doing it now. Seems like I'll have to delay the upload a while longer ... oh well.

Thank you for your help again.

Edit : Actually realized I don't have that many triggers like that except dialogues, shouldn't take too long.

A "Host" player variable could be set at map start to the first playing player you find from player 1-24. And from then on instead of "Player 1" the variable is used for special triggers.
