[General] switch players

[stan0033]

is there a trigger way to switch player 1 with player 2 and vice-versa.

 

[Nichilus]

I doubt that, but it should be possible to transfer everything player 1 has to player 2 and vice versa

Make two unit groups. One with all units owned by player 1 and one with all units owned by player 2. Then use a unit group loop each and switch the owner of picked unit to the other player.

^^ this should do it

You could swap the units like this

Untitled Trigger 002 Events Conditions Actions Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions) Loop - Actions If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions (Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red) Then - Actions Unit - Change ownership of (Picked unit) to Player 2 (Blue) and Change color Else - Actions If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions (Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to Player 2 (Blue) Then - Actions Unit - Change ownership of (Picked unit) to Player 1 (Red) and Change color Else - Actions

Use players group, when you want remove the player 1 from Group1 and add to Group2 and vice-versa with player 2.
You can use triggers to change the color of the players.

Look the picture to see the single sample.

*Finally, stan asks a good question*
^That is actually harder, since I think, from the action that it only changes existing unit's team color. Player color would still remain in the post-game/score screen.

Fixing that would require an additional trigger when a unit enters playable map area, changing its color.

Also note that you would have to switch other player exclusive data when doing the first solution too.

Well my single sample is *single*, so it just have the idea.

Well... look this, it's more complicated but works:

Yes and no. No there is no way to swap players completely during a session. Yes you can simulate a almost complete player swap.

Instead of using constant references to players in triggers, use a variable which you can change as required. Units can be transferred using appropriate native. Colours can be swapped if required. Even works with AI as long as you have appropriate AI script to load and manage the new player.

Yep, but I never use my pc to reply, I don't have internet so I just use my phone to realize all my actions.
About the pictures... well, it's a long process.
