Every time I make my own campaign map and test it using WE Test Map, a random race is always generated for Player 1 even if I have specified that my race is Night Elf. Does it always do that? Or is there a trigger that could prevent the random selection of races? Your comment is highly appreciated. Thanks.
 
Hello and Welcome to THW community!

Check trigger editor, remove trigger action that look like:
Melee Setup - Create Starting Units...

Let me introduce hiveworkshop to you...

The Hive includes many talented Warcraft III modders of all skill levels among its users. New members (especially friendly ones) are always welcome. Take a look around and enjoy your stay, may it be long and productive!

Some good places to start include:
Searching the site using the above link always helps, you can learn a lot that way: just reading and learning is usually the best place to start, especially if one feels overwhelmed.

Likewise, the tutorials can really teach ALL of us a thing or two.
The chat room is cool: lots of people can answer questions there.

A few other tips that might help too:
-Always search first! Did I already mention THAT?
-When creating a new thread, make the title VERY specific: so the site's search engine (and we users) can easily understand just what the thread contains.
-Post your new threads in the proper forum: read the descriptions of each one so that you know what to post there.
-If all else fails, just send me a private message! I'll try to do whatever I can to help.

Also
about maps:

If you decide to create map please check some tutorials first!
For unfinished maps, use Map Development forum! You can make thread there upload your map so people can tell you what they think just like here! Also for any help with triggers or how to clean memory leaks post triggers and create threads here Triggers & Scripts! Btw if you need any help with WE we have World Editor Help Zone here on THW! And at the end if you need any resource from icons to loading screens check this out Requests!

Once when you create awesome map, and upload it to site, guys like me will check them and give suggestions, hints and so on!

Thanks for the tip. Sorry if I haven't replied sooner. Been busy these last few days. My Naisha campaign beta is nearing its finalization and will be uploaded soon.

You make sure to check Fixed Player values in the Player Editor?

Fixed Players are set and the map is not a melee map anymore because it had been set for campaign. The random generation of races on test maps actually doesn't matter that much anyway because when the final map has been added to the campaign file, the proper race will be generated. I'm just kinda curious about WE Test Map random race selection, whether that could be prevented by some kind of trigger or settings. Thanks.
