Start Locations

[Brett]

How can I make it so no start locations have to be spawned when saving a map?

 

[cazador]

You can't.

 

[Brett]

can i make them unnoticable somehow?

and im pretty sure u can because with Trinity ORPG i tried to edit it "wasnt protected" and saw there were none. when i saved it it asked to spawn them.

That would be because it's protected. Actually if you noticed 0 units existed on the map.
Anyway the starting locations don't show up in the game so they are unnoticable.

go to Triggers, take away create starting creatures for all players, or just ignore them, put them outside the map bounds if it works

 

[VergilThazaar]

You can't put the start locations outside map boundaries.

 

[Slaydon]

then put them a place you want to start, where all the actions start, or randomize

What you exactly mean in your question? Its pretty unclear.

You want to remove Start Locations? Thats impossible. The Player camera must start somewhere.

If you want to stop the Town Hall and peasants to be spawned, at game start, just delete the whole Melee Initialization trigger. He is completely useless for custom maps btw.

Do you want the Start Location unnoticeable where? in game or in world editor?
if in game, just change the map preview or dont show it.
