How do you work out which players are avaliable in a game, the catch being - they start with absolutely no units, and then are given one from the computer.
I think you could work it out by having a flag preplaced and detecting if player 1 brings a flag there, or if it's player 12/no flag. But just giving the units to the players ends up giving it to (say) player 6, even if they're not playing. I'm hoping there's some sort of ingame test you can do, rather than having a preplaced unit test.
Thanks for any ideas!

So if there's 6 players and 4 actual players, then setting the death counter would only activate once for each active player and I could just add that as a condition for the give trigger. Brilliant!
None.
I think so, I didn't actually check it.
You could also do 'Set to 1 death for Current Player'... that would definitely only exist for people who are in-game.

Set Deaths to 1 for Force 1
This aslo works. Place a unit, small, something that could be an air unit, and then if current player brings it to location anywhere, remove it, set deaths to 1 for current player. Fartys way is probley easier, but I was just taking a wild one.
None.
You don't even have to preplace a unit, as I previously mentioned.
Just 'always'.

I know. I was just trying to mention more of a variety of what can be done, instead of just showing only one way.
None.
Preplacing the thing is pretty useless because a 'current player' wont run unless that player already exists.

The unit wouln't be their if the unit didn't exist.
None.
Why do you need to do a bring to set the death? 'Always' itself works.

Well, yeah. But all that is changing is the conditions. It isn't necessary.

I know, I just wanted to show the "un-conventional" ways of doing things. These methods are the way that I do things, and thats my most of my maps have bugz.
None.

OR YOU CAN SET A SWITCH INSTEAD OF A DEATH COUNT! I know, it's ingenious.
None.
Unconventional is only as good if it is just as simple. Your's aren't.
Just make the give trigger owned by each player and you don't need
any extra triggers.

I know, I know, I just wanted to let him know that there is more then one way to skin a cat.
None.
but yours isn't a different way to skin a cat, it's the same. you're just trying to give the cat a bath first (hard to do with cats)
None.
especially when the cat is a loaf of bread... (refer to jandii's avatar)
None.
Simple! a 1x1 pixel location centers on a pre-placed unit and then sets a switch which triggers a countdown timer to set a deathcount to make the planets align and hey presto, you've detected the active players.
lol, I appreciate all input. To get a good idea, you usually need a lot of ideas.
None.
