The map I am making goes like this...
Player 1 is required
player 1 starts by moving a civ up to a designated area
Then each player defends their own area.
I made the first switch but I dont know how to make the levels. I want it to be non-stop action, meaning player one does not have to start each level. Please Help
Also a big issue im haveing: If only 2 or 3 peaple play instead of 6 how do I get the enimy units to appear at only their area.
Player 8 is the enimey.

Make a location over a beacon for the civ for player 1 to move to. Make it say this to start lvl 1
Make a location over the place wehre the units spawn and move.
Continuous goes like this

Just an opinion to the maker of this map. Making it so the map is entirely dependant that Player 1 is there, isn't very good in my eyes. Because, if Player 1 left, it screws EVERYONE over and the game ends there, even at the beginning or something. So, make it so if Player 1 leave the next player in line gets the civ perhaps?

i have a better system. heres the map. X-------y y is where the guys end and x is where the guys start. Do triggers.
Then have a trigger.
The deathcount # will be the current level. ie dc 1=level 1
Thats for, if the players dont want to wait.
For each level have.
Very simple thing to do.
Also add in the civillian give to p2+ so that they dont have to wait if p1 leaves.
Dc are better than switches because you dont have to use a lotta of them. Now there free for other things. I also recommend doing checks to see if a person is there. Ie.(dc=2, player 2 controls create this here. That way if theres less players theres still a fair game. This way you dont need a full house to win.
| Trigger |
| Description: |
| Levels Start |
| Players: |
| ¤ All Players |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ Always |
| Actions: |
| ¤ Set timer to "time you want players to initially build with" |
Then have a trigger.
| Trigger |
| Description: |

| ¤ Countdown timer at most 0 |

| ¤ Set deathcounts for "pick an unused unit" add 1 |
| ¤ Set timer to "time you want player to build and kill attackers until next level" |
The deathcount # will be the current level. ie dc 1=level 1
| Trigger |

| ¤ move civillian to civillian restart. |
Thats for, if the players dont want to wait.
For each level have.
