[Trigger] Start Location Error

[TheFireMage]

Hello everyone,
I have a trigger creating custom start units for players but, every unit spawns in the map initialization all was created at Player 1 start Location? I'm currently using patch 1.29 with WEX. I appreciate all helps.

I'll admit I'm not entirely sure what the trigger is trying to achieve, but you're spawning units at the exact same location called Loc_Ini[0] every single time.

Move TempPoint[0] variable to the top of Player Group block. Right now, it's just pointing to player red starting location because it's out of it. Don't forget to add a custom script line call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint[0]) after you're done with it.

Those conditions don't need to be there as the player group is already enumerating users.

The player group also leaks as you're creating a new force (player group) and it's not being destroyed.

      • -------- Do your stuff here --------
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tmpPoint)
  • Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_tmpForce)

It's like creating starting units in melee game

Oh, so I have to create location inside Player Group loop? And also I used All players controlled by user for testing, so technically it's supposed to be All players because there's only 6 players.

Yes. Otherwise, the variable will only be set once, and picked player doesn't work out of a player group block. Strangely, the (Get Player X Starting Location) function returns player red's loc when passing a null player to it.

And also I used All players controlled by user for testing, so technically it's supposed to be All players because there's only 6 players.

All right. Then I must warn you that you shouldn't destroy (All Players). It's an exception, a constant group.
