Working on a '-balance' system on my map and im trying to setup alliance changes. The names for all the types, however, are vague and I dont know what most do. So If I move a player from the red team to the blue team, I would assume I'd do something like :

JASS:
       call SetForceAllianceStateBJ(RedTeam,BlueTeam,bj_ALLIANCE_UNALLIED)
       call SetForceAllianceStateBJ(RedTeam,RedTeam,bj_ALLIANCE_ALLIED)
       call SetForceAllianceStateBJ(BlueTeam,RedTeam,bj_ALLIANCE_UNALLIED)
       call SetForceAllianceStateBJ(RedTeam,RedTeam,bj_ALLIANCE_ALLIED)


That doesnt work, so how should I got about doing it? And does 'ALLIANCE_SHARED_ADVANCED_CONTROL' do anything? it doesnt seem to work.

**edit**Oh and I tried a loop too, but it didnt work either :

JASS:
       if IsPlayerInForce(movingplayer, RedTeam) then
           loop
             exitwhen i == 12
             if IsPlayerInForce(Player(i), RedTeam) then
                call SetPlayerAlliance(Player(i), movingplayer, ALLIANCE_PASSIVE,       true)
                call SetPlayerAlliance(Player(i), movingplayer, ALLIANCE_HELP_REQUEST,  true)
                call SetPlayerAlliance(Player(i), movingplayer, ALLIANCE_HELP_RESPONSE, true)
                call SetPlayerAlliance(Player(i), movingplayer, ALLIANCE_SHARED_XP,     true)
                call SetPlayerAlliance(Player(i), movingplayer, ALLIANCE_SHARED_SPELLS, false)                
                call SetPlayerAlliance(movingplayer, Player(i), ALLIANCE_PASSIVE,       true)
                call SetPlayerAlliance(movingplayer, Player(i), ALLIANCE_HELP_REQUEST,  true)
                call SetPlayerAlliance(movingplayer, Player(i), ALLIANCE_HELP_RESPONSE, true)
                call SetPlayerAlliance(movingplayer, Player(i), ALLIANCE_SHARED_XP,     true)
                call SetPlayerAlliance(movingplayer, Player(i), ALLIANCE_SHARED_SPELLS, false)
             endif
             set i = i + 1
          endloop

As far as I know ALLIANCE_SHARED_ADVANCED_CONTROL is full unit sharing, it's what makes you able to control a players units and buildings after he leaves a game.

Just a question to your script, do you remove and add the player from one force to the other before the if statement?

*Edit*
Anyways, this one worked for me:
JASS:
function ChangePlayerForce takes player whichplayer, force oldforce, force newforce returns nothing
    local integer i = 0
    local integer a = GetPlayers()
    
    call ForceRemovePlayer(oldforce,whichplayer)
    call ForceAddPlayer(newforce,whichplayer)  
    loop
        exitwhen i > a
        if IsPlayerInForce(Player(i),newforce) and Player(i) != whichplayer then
            call SetPlayerAlliance(whichplayer,Player(i),ALLIANCE_PASSIVE,true)
            call SetPlayerAlliance(whichplayer,Player(i),ALLIANCE_HELP_REQUEST,true)
            call SetPlayerAlliance(whichplayer,Player(i),ALLIANCE_HELP_RESPONSE,true)
            call SetPlayerAlliance(whichplayer,Player(i),ALLIANCE_SHARED_XP,true)
            call SetPlayerAlliance(whichplayer,Player(i),ALLIANCE_SHARED_SPELLS,true)
            call SetPlayerAlliance(Player(i),whichplayer,ALLIANCE_PASSIVE,true)
            call SetPlayerAlliance(Player(i),whichplayer,ALLIANCE_HELP_REQUEST,true)
            call SetPlayerAlliance(Player(i),whichplayer,ALLIANCE_HELP_RESPONSE,true)
            call SetPlayerAlliance(Player(i),whichplayer,ALLIANCE_SHARED_XP,true)
            call SetPlayerAlliance(Player(i),whichplayer,ALLIANCE_SHARED_SPELLS,true)
        elseif IsPlayerInForce(Player(i),oldforce) and Player(i) != whichplayer then
            call SetPlayerAlliance(whichplayer,Player(i),ALLIANCE_PASSIVE,false)
            call SetPlayerAlliance(whichplayer,Player(i),ALLIANCE_HELP_REQUEST,false)
            call SetPlayerAlliance(whichplayer,Player(i),ALLIANCE_HELP_RESPONSE,false)
            call SetPlayerAlliance(whichplayer,Player(i),ALLIANCE_SHARED_XP,false)
            call SetPlayerAlliance(whichplayer,Player(i),ALLIANCE_SHARED_SPELLS,false)
            call SetPlayerAlliance(Player(i),whichplayer,ALLIANCE_PASSIVE,false)
            call SetPlayerAlliance(Player(i),whichplayer,ALLIANCE_HELP_REQUEST,false)
            call SetPlayerAlliance(Player(i),whichplayer,ALLIANCE_HELP_RESPONSE,false)
            call SetPlayerAlliance(Player(i),whichplayer,ALLIANCE_SHARED_XP,false)
            call SetPlayerAlliance(Player(i),whichplayer,ALLIANCE_SHARED_SPELLS,false)
        endif
        set i = i+1
    endloop
endfunction

Yeh that's pretty much exactly what i have.

** I just noticed that my 'Allies' buttin in-game is un-clickable.. is that because i was testing in singleplayer? Maybe I locked ally properties a long time ago. Well if I did, shouldnt my triggering overwrite it anyway :/

Hmm, well I have 'Fixed Player Settings' checked in the forces tab in the scenarrio properties.. maybe that's keeping me from switchinf allies.

When I uncheck it, though, it messes everything up 8[

dont see what you're reffering too.

And I just managed to give one player control of another player so maybe alliance setting arent locked and those commands just dont work?

well, actually tom said his worked so i guess it IS my map.

hmm

it won't solve ur problem above cause it only locks for players but it doesn't limit the triggers action

It shouldn' t cause it. If you can give gold and lumber in ordinary melee game in single player to your AI allies then it should work for you also.

JASS:
function AllyEnemy takes player sourcePlayer, player otherPlayer, boolean flag returns nothing
    call SetPlayerAlliance(sourcePlayer, otherPlayer, ALLIANCE_PASSIVE, flag)
    call SetPlayerAlliance(sourcePlayer, otherPlayer, ALLIANCE_HELP_REQUEST, flag)
    call SetPlayerAlliance(sourcePlayer, otherPlayer, ALLIANCE_HELP_RESPONSE, flag)
    call SetPlayerAlliance(sourcePlayer, otherPlayer, ALLIANCE_SHARED_XP, flag)
    call SetPlayerAlliance(sourcePlayer, otherPlayer, ALLIANCE_SHARED_SPELLS, flag)
    call SetPlayerAlliance(sourcePlayer, otherPlayer, ALLIANCE_SHARED_VISION, flag)
endfunction


function InitTrig_AllyEnemy takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer playerIndex=0

    // Force 1
    loop
        exitwhen playerIndex>12
            if playerIndex<=6 then
                // Ally
                call AllyEnemy(Player(playerIndex),Player(13), true)
                call AllyEnemy(Player(13),Player(playerIndex), true)
            else
                // Enemy
                call AllyEnemy(Player(playerIndex),Player(13), false)
                call AllyEnemy(Player(13),Player(playerIndex), false)
            endif
        set playerIndex=playerIndex+1
    endloop

    set playerIndex=0

    // Force 2
    loop
        exitwhen playerIndex>11
            if playerIndex<=6 then
                // Ally
                call AllyEnemy(Player(playerIndex),Player(14), false)
                call AllyEnemy(Player(14),Player(playerIndex), false)
            else
                // Enemy
                call AllyEnemy(Player(playerIndex),Player(14), true)
                call AllyEnemy(Player(14),Player(playerIndex), true)
            endif
        set playerIndex=playerIndex+1
    endloop
    
    // NEUTRAL HOSTILE & EXTRA
    call AllyEnemy(Player(12),Player(14), false)
    call AllyEnemy(Player(14),Player(12), false)

    // NEUTRAL HOSTILE & VICTIM
    call AllyEnemy(Player(13),Player(14), false)
    call AllyEnemy(Player(14),Player(13), false)
endfunction

I have used this trigger in our BatleShips Extrm map. It sets alliance settings in Map Initialization. Modify it a bit and you can use it.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
