The equivalent WarCraft 3 trigger is:

Trigger:
  • Player - Player number of (Triggering Player)


How do I get that in SC2 Trigger Editor?

Thanks in advance.
 
How do you know which player is which though?

Is it decided by who joins the game lobby first or by colour?
 
I'm fairly sure first to join is one. One time I made a friend be on slot 1 and made him be host+red, but I was still the one who joined first and thus I still was marked as player 1.
 
Anyone know what the range is? Does it go from 0-15 or 1-16 or what?

It's important because I'm using player numbers as indices in my arrays.
 
Really? I thought 13 and 14 are able to be users.

And I guess this proves the maximum amount of players in one map is 12.

Thank you for the info, guys. Great help! :D

I didn't test if it works, but in the player properties I can set all 16 players to be human.
 
But I'm sure you'll see one player not able to be attacked, and one player prone to being attacked by the other 14 players.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.

    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
