alright what i want is to add a trigger to my map. its a four player map. i want it so that once there is 1 person left that isnt in the middle to kill them and then move every1 to one of the first 3 players start positions and then create a wall of pylons a little bit further down and set minerals to 200. then when there is 1 person not in the middle kill him and then display message saying, "go back to your starting place" and then set a switch. any ideas? i tried a couple but i cant get it to work if there is 3players.

um, could you clarify please, thats really hard to understand.

1.who's "them?"
2.who's "him?"

alright, i want to add a trigger to my 4-player map. I want it so when there is only one person not in the middle, that person will die. Everyone else will move to one of the remaining players' starting locations. Then, a wall of pylons will be created further down and minerals will be set to 200. Next, a message saying "go back to your starting place" will display and a switch will be set.

I rewrote your message cause its just five lines of barely legible english. did i get it right?

ADDITION:
on second thought, did you want it as a switch where, when set, will move everyone to the starting location and when cleared, will display the message "go back to your starting place"?

not a switch for the message. but also in between "minerals will be set to 200." AND "Next, a message saying" i only want it to say that when there is only one person not in the middle again. so there should be three players left and then 1 not in the middle will be killed leaving two players to recieve that message.

okay i think i finally got it.

-all players go to middle
-one player doesn't make it
-player dies
-players return to start location
-pylons made and minerals set to 200
-three players rush for middle
-one doesn't make it
-message is displayed to two players

that right?

-all players go to middle
-one player doesn't make it
-player dies
-players return to start location
-pylons made and minerals set to 200
-three players rush for middle
-one doesn't make it
-player dies
-message is displayed to two players
-switch is set
-1st one back to start wins

this could prob be simplified alot but it should work

ok i dont understand how that will do what i want but ill try it once your done with it all.

oh and i cant get anything to let me upload my picture of my map.

ADDITION:
oh i get it
1 problem i realized... is there anyway to have the pylons created here "-pylons made and minerals set to 200" be stacked so a probe cant just walk through it?

You can't create stacked buildings with triggers, only preplace them stacked.

You can sorta stack em. If you make a pile of buildings in location X, you can remove one building from X and move building Y to location X. Of course, buildings in Y are still there, which makes it all ugly.

alright i decided i want mineral fields with TONS of minerals instead.

open scmd2, click minerals, put in insanely high amount

if you need to you can modify the resource amount later in the game. there's a trigger action called 'set resource amount'. be sure to select the right type of mineral patch at the right location and also make sure the mineral patch is there so it can reset the resource amount.

i want to make minerals instead of pylons right there. Zeratul you have the rest of the triggers yet? if not its fine just curious.
