i wouldnt see any reason for you to have to use the units over player 12 except for 2x speed. just use the neutral player (12) for all your needs. you cant use the other players over player 12 in any triggers anyways.

in some other maps i have played such as spiral def (the one made by Vipe]2) and he used a comp over 100 it flashed different colors and it just looked kool but if you cant use them in any triggers then how did he spawn them? did he just give them to a player and tell them to move from location to location following the specific track?

there are certain colors that you can change the player to. i belive that to get a flashing black you use pale yellow on im pretty sure any terrain. it looks real cool and you can use triggers.

To change the player's color you need to use GUEdit or StarForge. Or maybe SCMDraft2.

i dont really like scm draft it seems kinda "glichy" and just an annoyance and starforge and scxe seem to have all the options i should ever really need for making maps i think i will just change there color using comps over 12 just seems to be a nuisance that i dont really need. thx for the tip to just change there color

SCMDraft 2 isn't glitchy, it's top notch! SCMDraft 1 was terrible. Go get 2.

Editors to have;
Starforge 2.1
SCMDraft 2 0.5.0 (or something, get the one here!)
X-Tra Editor 2.(5/6)
That should be all you need to make those maps of yours and have all the features you will ever need!

Mainly because it seems some of hte features you want, can never ever be made, because one, they cannot work in Starcraft, and two because no one would try

well i would try and i suppose that the things that would need to change are hardcoded into sc, too bad you cant have an editor more like the wc3x one

The triggers don't crash, the players do.

having players crash and the entire game crash are really not that much different, and neither of them is what very many ppl want in there maps : /

I think he was just stating a point.
Yes, i know you can place triggers for the other players, but really why you need to place triggers in spots for players over 12 i don't understand. And since almost none of them will create units, nor give, nor move, then what can you really do with them? Store figures?
