Question about starting units

[E.M.C]

My question is fairly simple: how do I disable the creation of starting units (hall and 5 workers) for some players, while enabling it for others?

-put that player at player settings to neutral or none
-if it is user player then just pick all & remove unit by the player after 0.1 sec of map start

Trigger Editor, go to the Map Init trigger, remove the "create starting units for players", create units for each player with triggers instead.

Might have to remove the victory conditions action if you have no preplaced units for the players.

I don't want to do that, because I want races to be selectable (it's a very melee-minded map).

I guess I could use triggers to pick and remove those units from game. But it seems very sloppy. Isn't there a way around it?

i dont know other way if still u want make that Player Slots still playable with players....

well to be honest you could do this something like this (just without unit group leak)

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Melee Game - Use melee time of day (for all players)
    • Melee Game - Limit Heroes to 1 per Hero-type (for all players)
    • Melee Game - Give trained Heroes a Scroll of Town Portal (for all players)
    • Melee Game - Set starting resources (for all players)
    • Melee Game - Remove creeps and critters from used start locations (for all players)
    • Melee Game - Create starting units (for all players)
    • Melee Game - Run melee AI scripts (for computer players)
    • Melee Game - Enforce victory/defeat conditions (for all players)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 1 (Red)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game

but result is player 1 instantly get Defeat but atleast didn't see his units....

Replace Units is an option too. And also keep in mind that if you're making custom races this script will make your life a whole lot easier:

Thanks for suggestions guys. I decided to use triggers after all, time elapsed event with pick units and if/then/else loop. This custom script seems like a really good idea, the reveal system is annoying as hell, although I already enforced victory/defeat conditions with triggers to work around it.
