Hero Revival Location Bug

[bookyjoo]

http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/revive.php

I copied this exactly for my hero revival trigger. However I didn't want the heroes to revive at the center of the map, so I changed the revival line accordingly to this:

custom script: call ReviveHeroLoc(OURHERO, GetPlayerStartLocationLoc(GetOwningPlayer(OURHERO)),true)

That is the only line I changed as it says in the tutorial. Now, in testing heroes were reviving in opponents start locations instead of their own. Only when I test on single player custom map does it work consistently.... The tutorial states that this should work with multiple heroes since it uses local variables. What's wrong???

I haved this problem too ... but nothing helped

yeah its just the reviveheroloc line that messes it up. Works perfectly spawning at a single designated location.... Oh here's another thing that I noticed. When I was testing it with others, the camera panned to the enemy start location at initialization and I kept reviving there.... Its almost as if the trigger actually messes up your start location. What the flip?

How did you test?
Kinda makes me think that you haven't made all players either user or computer.

Yeah...Cause it looks correct.

I tested on battlenet with 10 players..... slots 11 and 12 aren't controlled by anyone. They are basically for spawning allied creeps. They aren't computer controlled..... but they also don't use heroes at all, so i'm unsure of how that would effect the hero revive.

Nobody seems to know... How about the fact that the trigger seems to have caused a change in the starting location. Because on initialization the camera will pan to the wrong starting location.... even before any killing happens.... i'll keep testing and try to help pinpoint the problem... but if anyone thinks of anything... i'm thinking it might be something simple

Could your upload your map so we/I can have a look?

 

[bookyjoo]

here it is.... triggers aren't very organized cuz this is my first map. The trigger that does hero revival is under miscellaneous trigger folder. Thanks for the help.

OK... So after more testing 5v5 on battlenet. It didn't bug when I was player 1(red).... but it bugged when I was on the opposite team. Everyone's start location was messed up. I think the problem has something to do with the player start location messing up if the host is NOT red or player 1 or whatever... I don't think it has to do with the trigger itself. So how would i fix this problem, if this is indeed the problem???

Check fixed starting location in Player options
