To make any unit for any player you could:
Create them with a trigger during the game,
Use a special map editor to place them on the map,
Use rescuable units (which would keep their original color)

To change player colors you can use starforge or SCMdraft, which can also place units, and do many other things better than the normal editor.

That version of SCMDraft is outdated but it will work to get you players with the same color. To get the newer version with a ton of cool new features you can go to:

Register, and download the latest version (#7 at the moment).

It would be easier just to use a trigger that does the following.

Elasped time = 10 milliseconds (or could use always)

create 1 X for player Y at location Z

that will create the building/unit (X) for the right player (Y) at the location you want it to go to (Z)

ADDITION:
If I remember correctly, thats what they used in that last Original Mission for the Protoss, where you get Protoss and Terran.

By the way, in the editors, all the extra ones look like black, but the one that really is black is Color 17 (red is 0).

To do them in any StarEdit based editor (Even StarEdit) do the following:
  1. Put the player as Zerg
  2. Place zerg units
  3. Remove all units for that player
  4. Change the player to Terran
  5. Press Undo (Zerg units get undo-deleted (come back))
  6. Place terran units
  7. Remove all units for that player
  8. Change the player to Protoss
  9. Press Undo
  10. Place protoss units

In other words:
  1. Place units for Player X
  2. Remove all units
  3. Change Player X's race
  4. Undo delete
  5. Place more
  6. Repeat.

Also works if you change race to User Selectable and want to start with units.

Found this long before plankton even was alive.

You could always do it with a trigger, as i suggested above. It doesnt really hurt. And its not using a glitch =P

Hey you noobs who use 17 as black. It is red on minimap and bugs the censored.gif out of me!! cursing.gif use 146!!

146 properties:
• Works on all terrain
• Units are completely black
• Minimap is Black
• Leaderboard is invisible
• In ally/lag screen its a little window tongue.gif
• On space (like all blacks) the unit has the stars on it.

17 properties:
• Idk about what terrain it works on
• Units possably completely black
• Minimap dark red!
• Leaderboard dark red!
• In ally/lah screen still dark red!
• On space (like all blacks) the unit has the stars on it.




Edit: Sorry about curses and censoring (shouldn't even be there*)

Don't call people n00bs because they use 17. Tons of people use it. Plus I hate how other colors show up invis in diplo/leaderboard. THAT annoys me.

Find one thats a darker color then... I should refind them.

Does any abouve 255 work?




Forgot to mention;

Its best if you don't use maps with leaderboards when you use player colors anyways. No one can tell who is who.

No because SC uses bytes to store the player numbers (can only be up to 255).

8 bytes - 1 byte each player, is the color of the player
