I'm currently making a new Impossible Scenarios map, and it's close to done! however I'm having trouble figuring out how to make it so that if/when someone disconnects, their units are split to the other players ?


also on a side note, anyone now any diff map protectors? I tried using SMLP and every time I try to laod the map up into it, SMLP crashes lol

Units go to Player 12 (Neutral) when a player leaves. You can give those units back to other players with a simple give loop. Assuming your players are in Force 1:



You could use "Always" or "Bring" as the condition if you prefer.

On a diff note is there a certain specific to do to be able to spwan forver lasting Broodlings seen it in other maps, broodlings at 0 energy,lasting forever

From the wiki's quirks and nuances page:

Hm so I got to do a test run with my map today and tried that trigger command.. it didnt work, left all neutral units.. neutral

You likely have the wrong player in the condition/action. IIRC there's 2 players with neutral in the name in ScmDraft:

• P12, named "Neutral" (this is the one you wanna use)
  
• an unused player ID called "Neutral Players"

The name specifics are off the top of my head, but the tip remains valid: Try finding the correct player. For the condition you could just take Always, but it'll be an unnecessary CPU drain, and for the action you need to find the right player anyways.

If nothing works just post the text triggers here and we'll figure it out.

Not sure if it would matter, but for the map I have set players 7 and 8 as neutral, but now in the same line as Player 12 has it in, so like I believe off hands it player 12 in the Race line it's neutral, my player 7 and 8 are neutral in who commands it

Can't make sense of your sentence, but the player settings don't matter for this. Roy's trigger will give units from P12 to members of force 1, if they are active (slot occupied, not defeated). P12 gets all units of players that left or got defeated.

Okay so it shouldnt matter if I were to make any of the 1-8 slots neutrallike for it to ruin that trigger

Correct, you are not applying the trigger to a "Neutral Force", you are applying it to player 12, which happens to be neutral. Your trigger action should look like this:

While it'll work, the lowest numbered player in force 1 will receive all the units. The version Roy proposed will spread the units evenly between members of force 1. (still a slight bias for lower numbered players)

Well you still need active players that are able to run the trigger. And you have to make sure one of those active players is the trigger owner.

The force/owner of the trigger needs to be an active player. Do not select Player 12 as the owner of the trigger. It should be Force 1 (or whichever force is your players)

While this will work, if you want to be truly fair, you should randomize a switch every "loop" to see who gets a unit. Though if you had n players, you'd need n! orderings to check, e.g. if 5 players left in the game, there are 120 unique ways to choose the order in which each player gets a unit. One such ordering is P1, P2, P3, P4 P5. Another is P5, P2, P4, P3, P1. etc. This would be overkill and impractical unless you use a trigger macro framework, e.g. YATAPI, which can generate TrigEdit triggers via Python.

Or maybe you want to make sure the units get split evenly, e.g. if P1 already has 10 units, P2 has 5 units, and P3 left 7 units, you should give 6 units to P2 and 1 to P1, so they each have 11 units. In the system proposed above, P1 would get 14 units total whereas P2 would have 8 units.

I think the more important thing is perception of fairness when giving out a leaver's units rather than implementation (very simple as shown above with one trigger). Players would want to know why P1 got that unit, etc. (or at least that would be good customer experience I think).

In the most extreme case, you would check which units each player owns and dole out the leaver's units based on which synergize best with their current units. E.g. if P1 has a Protoss Scout and P2 has an Lurker, and P3 left a Defiler, you probably want to give P2 the defiler. This would be a lot of manual work listing out combinations, and if none of those exist, then use the proposal above...

Another example--P1 has a Goliath, P2 has Ultralisk, and P3 left an SCV. Give P1 the SCV, not P2.
