Problems with Players

[maerlyn]

In my map, there are units set out for each player. I wanted to delete the units of players not present, so I made a trigger:

"Remove Excess Units"
Events: Map Initialization
Conditions:
Actions: If ((Player 2 (Red) controller) Equal to Computer) then do (Unit - Remove Rifleman 0011 <gen> from the game) else do (Do nothing)

I thought there was a small chance it would work, so I tried it. And it removed the units for Player 2, and no one else. Later I found out that when I Tested it, it would automatically add a Player 2. When I tried to make a multiplayer game, the Undead force with one computer in it would be empty. What's going on? How do I make the enemies count as a player? And can anyone help me with a trigger that deletes excess units?

Player Not Presant
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to (nr of player), do (If (((Player((Integer A))) controller) Equal to Computer) then do (Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) owned by (Player((Integer A)))) and do (Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game)) else do (Do nothing))
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to (nr. of player), do (If (((Player((Integer A))) slot status) Equal to Is unused) then do (Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) owned by (Player((Integer A)))) and do (Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game)) else do (Do nothing))

Step by Step

1.-Add event map initialization to a new trigger

2.-Create a new action called (For each integre A, Do Action)

3.-Set the integre to go from 1-number of human players

4.-Set the If condition equal to if player(Integre A) controller equal to Computer.
NOTE: To set it to pick player integre a select the buttom drop down menu at the player selection find the Convert Player index to player and set the number to (integre a)

5.-Add the Then action (Unit group pick every unit in playable map area owned by player(Integre a) and do unit - Remove picked unit form the game)
NOTE: This is found under the Unit Group - Actions section

6.Else action Set to do nothing

7.Repeat this trigger but this time use the player slot status condition instead of player controller.

Then you are done

What does it do?

It removes all units owned by your human players if they arent in the game or if they are computer controlled.

When done the trigger should look like the one in the blue field above in this reply

Better use "((Player 2 (Red) controller) Not Equal to User)" so the unit gets removed even when there isn't a computer on that place. Adding a player 2 and such in multiplayer is usually caused by the settings under Scenario => Player Properties... so I would suggest you check the settings there.

Damn, a more simple way then mine + removes if leaves i suggest you use this instead of mine LOL

Thanks! It works That new one looks more complicated. So I'll stick with the first one. 'Sides, I want the units to stay if the player leaves.

The only remaining problem is this: I have the undead enemy set to Computer. But it doesn't show up when I go to make a mulitplayer game.

Thanks everybody! I got my triggers down now. And I fixed my other problem -- I hadn't locked the Player properties . Map is done! I'll go and host it now.
