I mean to create random units at a location.

Randomize 6 switches; then use the binary combonations to create a unit. Bolt_Head had a great tutorial on this somewhere.

Errrgh.
... and so on for all combinations of set/cleared switches. Using 6 switches give you 2^6 = 64 options. Use 7 switches and you get 128 choices.-

| Conditions: |
| ¤ deaths is 1 (tiem to start random unit making) |
| Actions: |
| ¤ Randomize Switch 1 |
| ¤ Randomize Switch 2 |

I only need the random units for 13 units maybe I shoulda said that earlier that is if that changes nething...I'm sorry I don't normally ask for help but this trigger makes no sense to me at all.

If you only need 13 random units andomize 4 switches and have triggers for those.
God here's a card dealer.

Ok I think I got it but I want the units to go between 4 players with one unit that only goes to one player. My map is Spades Defense and I got what you said in your post but I don't know to trigger it to start.

Wait, so in your map you have a group of units, one of which always goes to a cretain player, and the others are randomized?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Razell on 2004-10-23 at 17:21:29
I want it so the 13 units are spread out evenly 3 to each of the 4 players and 1 unit that goes to one random player.

Thats an entirly different story.
Now you need death counters for the players, then do the switch trick.

Actually all you need is to run the randomazation trigger to do this:
-Randomize
-Pick unit from random and give it to player 1
-Randommize
-Pick unit from random and give it to player 2
Essentially do what the card dealer does except trigger it so that it stops when 1 unit left and random gives out that unit. I'm a little too tred to write out triggers in full; someone else can do that.

Thanks for all the help I'll figure it out I hope...
ADDITION: DT do I use those same triggers you posted earlier or do I need new ones? And do I need locations at all. Also what does the death counter do?

The death counter functions as a multi-position switch. THe same randomazation triggers should work.

Oh Thanks Bolt_Head that was a real help I think I can implement that into my map I'm working on once again thanks for the assistance
