I am making a carribean risk and i would like to know how i assign the buildings randomly for each player. I would greatly appreciate any help
thank you in advance

You could try this:

Random Buildings
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type <Building>) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Change ownership of (Picked unit) to (Random player from (All players matching (((Matching player) slot status) Equal to Is playing))) and Change color

This will leak a unit group and a force, I believe.

alrite ill try it.

thnx alot it worked

sorry but i found a problem with it. it is that since its a risk 1 person cannot own a country at start how would i make it so this happens.

You mean you can't use Map Init. as the event? Well, eliminate that event, then just run that trigger from another when you want to assign countries, or set it so the elapsed game time is whatever.

no no no u got it wrong its a risk so at the start of the game when everyone gets assigned a random country i want to make sure that one person does not own a country at start.

That makes absolutely no sense. Contradictions abound.

ok well have u ever played risk devo it would be like that and if u havnt ill try and explain
in the begining they randomly assign bases to people like the trigger you gave me but one thing is that no one person can own a whole country like lets say theres two bases in germany ok and the map starts and gives players random bases i want it so that those two bases in germany cannot be owned by the same person in the begining when the trigger hands out bases
i hope that is explained a little better.

Got it. So you're saying it's similar to the original Risk in that several territories make up a continent. Well, that's difficult because each country will have a different number of territories.... I think you would have to do a check to make sure that all of the territories were not owned by the same player. It would be very helpful if you could upload the map so I can see what you have so far.

Base is unit right ? Add all one country "base" units to that country unit group variable. Give random "base" units to players, if player gets "base" unit change some boolean to true, for example "playerHasBaseInCountry set true".
It asumes before giving "base" to player check does that boolean is false.
Now when one country is divided change all booleans to false and pick new country "base" unit group and repeat cycle.
As note you chould do integer counter too, when boolean is set to true check dosn' t that integer counter isn' t equal to max playing players number. If it is change counter to 0 and reset all booleans to false and start giving again "base" units. Now there is even some balance in it and it guarantees when all players have already one "base" but there are more "base" units all will get owner.
