I have been here for a while and have stayed in the back just to learn all that I can before posting anything... well the time has come;
I am planning on making a map based on a very popular manga (Japanese version of comics so to speak) that is about a class of freshman that get sent to a remote island, are given random weapons by lottery pick and are told to kill each other off, the last one alive is the winner;
There are certain territories that must be turned into 'restricted zones' meaning that if you go there you will instantly die, I can handle that, the trigger I was mainly pondering/hoping I could achieve is to make a series of triggers that would randomize and [if true] randomize other triggers until finally each player would have only one weapon;
I would like to use at least one of each type (Marine, fbat, civ, zealot, dragoon, etc); And thus would need only one of the randoms to turn out to be the choosing trigger ((If true, create [unit] at this location)) but then make it so that no one else could get that weapon; I was originally going to do a pyramid of trigs that started with switch 1 >>If set randomize these 2 triggers; if cleared randomize these 2 triggers;
Needless to say it didn't work out quite as I would have hoped... if anyone needs clarification please, all you need to do is ask; And I hope that what I need help with has been set forward in an orderly way.

Are you saying that you want a whole bunch of players to be given random weapons, but there is only one instance of the weapon in the game?
If so:
This system *should* work best with hypertriggers.
Lets say there were 8 weapons you wanted to "distribute". This can be accomplished by randomizing 3 switches.
If they come out to be:
000 [Set,Set,Set] - that would be one weapon.
001 [Set,Set,Cleared] - another.
Do one for each weapon.
When the switch conditions are met, check to see if that weapon is already in-play. If it is, rerandomize the switches, so they reorganize to create a different combination.. If it is not create the weapon for the players in order (Players 1, 2, ... etc)
By the way, welcome to SEN!

Yes that could work... thank you very much, and your response is much better than 'Kaboom' 's, more, substantial since I had said that I had previously read the tutorials thoroughly... thank you for your response;
