Start Locations

[littlethom]

sorry guys but i forgot how to change the starterslocation

 

[R@d14nc3]

Trigger Editor-->Map initialization trigger-->Delete the action "create starting units for all players"

 

[littlethom]

and then?
i made a building and i want that as starterslocation

 

[R@d14nc3]

Well, that is another question...
Create a buliding then pan camera there

 

[littlethom]

sorry can you explain that, where can i change starterlocation? trigger editor or object editor?
and what do i need to change?

 

[R@d14nc3]

Sorry, I misunderstood.
Go to units palette and under every rac there's the starting point.
Change it by placing it anywhere you want

 

[littlethom]

sorry i ment i want an other building as starterlocation normally it is a main building in my map it is a circle of power how do i change the starterslocation from main building to that circle of power

 

[Quauhtli]

edit the main building...

 

[littlethom]

but there is an way to make an other starters location

 

[Slapshot136]

[littlethom]

how do i do thaT?

First:
Go to trigger editor and remove the melee initialization stuff
Second:
Make a new unit building, and that will be your circle o' power.
Third:
Create a trigger like this:

Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        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) slot status) Equal to Is playing
                        ((Picked player) controller) Equal to User
                    Then - Actions
                        Unit - Create 1 <building> for (Picked player) at ((Picked player) start location) facing Default building facing degrees
                    Else - Actions
                        Do nothing

thatll work

 

[R@d14nc3]

>thatll work
Not at all.
It leaks.

 

[Quauhtli]

hmm,,

well then tell me how it leaks, since it has always worked for me

 

[littlethom]

If - Conditions
((Picked player) slot status) Equal to Is playing
((Picked player) controller) Equal to User

how do you do this i can't find this 2? don't know what to fill in there..?

 

[Quauhtli]

add new condition,
Player Slot Status - (Player 1 Red <= change this to Picked Player) equal to is playing
add new condition
Player Controller - same as above, only its equal to user

gl
quauhtli

 

[Potatisbil]

The should be under "actions --> player"

ups, you already wrote that quauhtli

 

[littlethom]

do i need that 2 not under actions in conditions i only get one conditions!!

i have do that what you said only i don't get both playing and user by conditions?

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
((Picked player) slot status) Equal to Is playing
** -->((Picked player) controller) Equal to User<--
Then - Actions
Unit - Create 1 <building> for (Picked player) at ((Picked player) start location) facing Default building facing degrees
Else - Actions
Do nothing

** this one i don't get 2 in the same action,, how that so?
