How to get a player's number / value / index number / integer?

[tom_mai78101]

The equivalent WarCraft 3 trigger is:

• Player - Player number of (Triggering Player)

How do I get that in SC2 Trigger Editor?

Thanks in advance.

Players are now Integers e.g.

• (Triggering player) == 1

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.

1-12

0 is neutral
13,14 are computer players
15 is hostile

so thats how it looks to be

Ah, of course. I should've just looked in Player Properties.

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!

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.

You tested that or you guess that? It would make no sense at all... (at least to me )
