Neutralize Units

[Toronto]

Is there a trigger that will make player owned units become neutral when there is no user present?


Example

12 towers are on a map for 12 players. Oh no player 3 is not there but the creater doesn't know how to delete units so he decides to leave the units where they are. Is there a way to make the tower that doesn't have a player become neutral?

Possible other questions how do you delete units on a map if you can't undo because you saved the map? = (

Wouldn't it be simpler to only create the units for players that actually are in the game?


Open the unit palette.
When you select a unit from the list, you can put it on the map, right?
Well, press <space> once. Now you can select units that are already on the map.
A simple "delete" will remove them.

Ok I deleted the units

Removing units that noone needs:

RemoveUnused
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) slot status) Equal to Is unused)) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Change ownership of (Picked unit) to Neutral Hostile and Change color

Creating units for actual players:

StartingUnits
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Players = (All players matching ((((Matching player) controller) Equal to User) and (((Matching player) slot status) Equal to Is playing)))
        Player Group - Pick every player in Players and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Picked player) at ((Picked player) start location) facing Default building facing degrees

"Players" is a variable of type "Player group".


Getting rid of units once a player is gone:

PlayerGone
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) leaves the game
        Player - Player 2 (Blue) leaves the game
        Player - Player 3 (Teal) leaves the game
        Player - Player 4 (Purple) leaves the game
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Triggering player)) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Change ownership of (Picked unit) to Neutral Hostile and Change color

JEEZ ur starting unit trigger is so confusing you have liek 2 events on 1 line and words that i cant find where does it say set players??

"Players" is a variable of type "Player group".

That's where.

> Set Players = (All players matching ((((Matching player) controller) Equal to User) and (((Matching player) slot status) Equal to Is playing)))

Create a variable.
Call it "Players".
Use "player group" as type.

The action is "set variable".
Select your variable.
In the function list, look for "all players matching condition".

For the condition, put "and" as first condition.
It will say "condition1 and condition2".
Then a "player controller" for one and a "player slot status" for the other.



There's also the "simpler" version:

Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
    Loop - Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                ((Picked player) controller) Equal to User
                ((Picked player) slot status) Equal to Is playing
            Then - Actions
                Player Group - Add (Picked player) to Players
            Else - Actions

That's the same, only much longer...

[Sargon]

He's telling you how to do that. And he won't do your map for you any more than he already has.

If you can't do this, don't expect to get far.

A good thing is to ask about exactly what you're having trouble with. It's the only way to learn.

That's good. I just posted the instant after your post, so I didn't see it.

you wanted them to become neutral and not removed yes? its much simpler than acehart seems to think...

Neutral Towers
    Events
        Map initialization
        Player - Player 1 (Red) leaves the game
        Player - Player 2 (Blue) leaves the game
        Player - Player 3 (Teal) leaves the game
        Player - Player 4 (Purple) leaves the game
        Player - Player 5 (Yellow) leaves the game
        Player - Player 6 (Orange) leaves the game
        Player - Player 7 (Green) leaves the game
        Player - Player 8 (Pink) leaves the game
        Player - Player 9 (Gray) leaves the game
        Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) leaves the game
        Player - Player 11 (Dark Green) leaves the game
        Player - Player 12 (Brown) leaves the game
    Conditions
    Actions
        Player Group - Pick every player in (All players matching (((Matching player) slot status) Not equal to Is playing)) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) owned by (Picked player)) and do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions
                        Unit - Change ownership of (Picked unit) to Neutral Hostile and Change color

if you dont want the towers to attack anyone then switch neutral hostile to neutral passive.
