[General] What's the best way to show faction names for players?

[sniper_zero]

You know how in most campaigns, the teams have a name like Dreadlord Insurgents or Balnazzar's Forces? How do you get the team name to show on your units?

 

[Nichilus]

In the top bar menu of your WE go to Scenario -> Player Properties, give "controller" (user/computer/etc.) to the player so you can change his name, then give him name.
Then select Forces tab and check both "Use Custom Forces" a "Fixed Player Settings"

I think it only shows up on the tooltips of units of other players. It can't be made to show on your units.

So even triggers can't do that?

 

[UndeadImmortal]

Make another player/computer, give all your units to it, then make the computer share controls with you.

Will that trigger the "You will be revealed in two minutes if you don't build a town hall?" message?

Is your map melee? If no, then you can try to delete the Melee Initialization trigger.

It's melee. Anyway, changing the names is just something I'm playing around with. I don't want to delete the melee initialization trigger just for that. Nice sig by the way.
