Units appear when player isn't playing?

[Vince]

How would I get it so that when a player isn't playing, his units don't appear?
For example, when I'm testing my map by myself there's 11 other units, 1 unit owned by each player.

• Red Unused
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • (Player 1 (Red) slot status) Equal to Is unused
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Unit - Remove (The unit) <gen> from the game

do the same for the other 10 players

Or add it into a player group or used If-Then-Else Statements.

Yes its better and more efficiant do it Scary Nachos way

I don't really understand what Scary Nachos said.

• Untitled Trigger 003
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Player((Integer A))) controller) Not equal to User
            • ((Player((Integer A))) slot status) Not equal to Is playing
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Test_Group = (Units owned by (Player((Integer A))))
            • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Test_Group and do (Actions)
              • Loop - Actions
                • Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
            • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Test_Group)
          • Else - Actions

this will remove all units owned by players not playing.

Thanks for the detailed answer, but it didn't work Could it be because I don't have the script?

Post your trigger and no it will work without the script but then it leaks

It's exactly the same as clez posted, I double checked.

 

[cleeezzz]

post it anyway, you might have the If/then/else outside the integer a loop

Here ya go, thanks for helping!

Or you can instead of placing the unit directly on map, you can spawn it in a region if the player is playing. You would have to do a lot of identical triggers but it works.

Take away the user check condition not needed.

 

[-=Swift=-]

Is it possible that he didn't make the necessary variables?
Maybe not, he did change the variable name in his own trigger..

 

[Vince]

Take away the user check condition not needed.

It works! Thanks man! oh and gratz on 1.6k posts
