How do I detect players ?

[RedSword]

Hi everyone,

I'm making a 4 forces map (1 user and 1 computer per forces) with pre-placed building.

I'm wondering, how can I detect if a player is IN the game, controlling a certain player X (because if no users / computers are choosed to be behind a player X, that player X will still be there, but he won't have a player name, even if a computer force will do few things with (like auto-attack)), and if he's not there, that I kill/remove his building (I know how to do this last part at least =S).

Thank you in advance, and I hope my question isn't stupid and understandable =S

Player Slot Status Comparison:

(Player 1 (Red) slot status) Equal to Is playing

well use the pick all players in loop and then make 2 conditions: piicked player plays and picked player controller = user and as else function to kill all units owned by picked player

also if you want check if that player is an User too. Player Controller Comparsion

Won't be better to set it to a Group Variable and Destroy them? Like this.

Group

        Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
    Condiciones
    Acciones
        Set Players_InGame = (All players matching ((((Matching player) slot status) Equal to Is playing) and (((Matching player) controller) Equal to Use)))
        Player Group - Pick every player in Player_InGame and do (Actions)
            Bucle: Acciones
               <Your Actions Here>
        Custom script:   call DestroyForce (udg_Players_InGame)

Not necessarily. If you're worried about leaks, don't. All Players is a global that does not leak.

That doesn't work.... I don't know why... I tryed :

TopLeftNoCreeps
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
    Conditions
        (Player 1 (Red) controller) Not equal to User
        (Player 1 (Red) slot status) Not equal to Is playing
    Actions
        Unit - Kill Hideout 0015 <gen>
        Unit - Kill Research Center 0000 <gen>

With player 1 to 4, with their respective building (alias "Hideout and Research Center", and btw, the building aren't to the player 1-4 (they are to 5-8)

and I tryed Naminator' suggestion too, but none worked =S
