Handicap does nothing

[Mittsies]

I'm trying to use a trigger to set handicap to 120%. Unfortunately it does nothing. The trigger is being ran because there are other things that run along with it. It's triggered by a time-elapsed event.

I think handicap can only be set to a value between 50-100%. Not sure though.

Apparently someone said otherwise, is it possible to confirm this?

Try setting the handicap to something else, like 75%, and see if it works. It's pretty much trial 'n error.

Yeah, nothing works. Whether it's 1, 50, 120, etc. it doesn't actually do anything.

Can't help you then, sorry.

Can you post the trigger? Setting Handicap works fine for me. I even have it set to increase the handicap for Neutral Hostile and Player 12 when there are more people active.

I've tested it solo, and the handicap worked as planned. I tried it with two players on LAN and the handicap adjusted accordingly. Again, I'd need to see your trigger first.

That would be because your correct handicap cannot be set above 100% or below 50%

Even though the Rexxar campaign has the default handicap of the hostile units at 35% :?

 

[Durandal]

It does?

Hmmm

Well I thought it was

It is quite possible to set handicap to a value 100+, I do it in my map, so I would also suggest posting your trigger.
