removing empty spaces

[turtlelink2]

so at the begining of the game, the goal is to remove all units owned by a open slot when the game starts EG. if player 2 is empty and game starts remove all units owned by player 2. the problem is that it sees empty slots as players... is there a way to remove them?

um, there's PlayerSlotStatus conditions, along with Player Controller conditions. so you add a function like this

• Player Group - Pick every player in (All players matching ((((Matching player) controller) Not equal to User) and (((Matching player) slot status) Not equal to Is playing))) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Picked player)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game

Remove the "All players matching ((Matching Player) controller) not equal to User" and leave in the other condition and see if that works.

You can also check the status "Player Slot is Empty" as an OR along with the last condition and this might catch the correct effect.

            • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Picked unit)
    • Custom script: call DestroyForce (udg_EmptySlots)

Removes unit owned by player which slots are open and/or are AI's.

well this one also did nothing but if i switch the and to or it deletes the computer but leaves the blank spaces

 

[The_wand_mirror]

If you just make a (if then else) check if the (players are playing) and if not you remove them?

That should work.

I think we've already established that for some bizarre reason, it doesn't work.

if that didn't work I'll post another method, much longer but will surely work.

Obviously I think his won't work. Look at the

• Player Group - Pick every player in EmptySlots and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Picked player)) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit Remove (Picked Unit)

Look at this line of custom script

• Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true

I think it deletes the player group and won't trigger the (Picked player)
Try this

• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set EmptySlots = (All players controlled by a (None) player)
  • Player Group - Pick every player in EmptySlots and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Picked player)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit Remove (Picked Unit)
  • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  • Custom script: call DestroyForce (udg_EmptySlots)

Calling the wantDestroyGroup after creating the unit group won't do anything.

Personally, I use:

• Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
• Unit Group - Pick Every Unit in (Playable Map Area)
  • General (If then Else)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Owner of (Picked Unit)) slot status equal to Is Playing
      • (Owner of (Picked Unit)) controller equal to User
    • Then - Actions
    • Else - Actions
      • Unit - Remove (Picked Unit) from the game

          • If - Conditions
            • (((Picked player) controller) Equal to User) and (((Picked player) slot status) Equal to Is playing)
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Create 1 Unit picker for (Picked player) at ((Picked player) start location) facing Default building facing degrees
          • Else - Actions
            • Do nothing

This trigger will be make your loading screen a little longer.
So look at my trigger here. It is not leaky and doesn't make my loading long.

• Map Initialization Not Leaky
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Making_Point = (Center of Roshan Make Region <gen>)
    • Unit - Create 1 Skill - Dummy Unit for Neutral Hostile at Making_Point facing 0.00 degrees
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Making_Point)
    • Set Making_Point = (Center of Roshan Make Region <gen>)
    • Unit - Create 1 Skill - Dummy Unit for Neutral Hostile at Making_Point facing 0.00 degrees
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Making_Point)

You MUST set the point for every unit and remove it.
