random

[Co_Ca]

i want each player to receive one random unit from a set unit group
and i dont want anyone to get the same unit as anyone else
i got the unit group down, but what would be the best way to work with the random part?

the things i tried didnt really work....the same player position always ended up with the same unit....
help me

thanks

Create a random unit from your unit group for a player:

Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Random unit from SomeUnitGroup)) for Player 1 (Red) at (Player 1 (Red) start location) facing Default building facing degrees

Remove that unit from the unit-group:

Unit Group - Pick every unit in SomeUnitGroup and do (Actions)
    Loop - Actions
        If ((Unit-type of (Last created unit)) Equal to (Unit-type of (Picked unit))) then do (Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from SomeUnitGroup) else do (Do nothing)

Repeat for all players.

Totally untested, of course


Can't you simply use randomized starting locations?

you shouldnt forget to MAKE a unit group then else well... u know...
u can do it the easy way but it does cost map room. make a region and put all units in it and make this trigger.

choose the region with the units in it with unit group(i dont have WE on this comp now) do action choose random unit in last created unit group and remove it from the game.
create 1 unit of type of triggering unit for player ? at(a region)

there has to be some time between the other players(if u have)
to avoid further problems. and the event is totaly up to you this is the easiest way. if u dont want any room to be lost ask darg or something.
