I need to select 1 player out of 6 possible. Not all players may be in game.
No, ramdom start location won't work. No, mooving through a field of junk yard dog units won't help allso. I need to do it with switches and 1 preplaced unit (to tell is the player in game)
Note: the unit "Fate" is placed by default to determine is the player in game
I'm doing this:
Main randomize Trigger
Conditions: switch "randomize" is cleared
Actions: randomize "switch1"
randomize "switch2"
randomize "switch3"
set "randomize"
preserve trigger
Player 1 not in game
Conditions: the combination of those 3 switches
player 1 commands exactly 0 Fate
Actions: clear "randomize"
preserve trigger
Player 1 selected
Conditions: the combination of those 3 switches
player 1 commands atleast 1 Fate
Actions: set "player 1 selected"
Player 2 not in game
Conditions: the combination of those 3 switches
player 2 commands exactly 0 Fate
Actions: clear "randomize"
preserve trigger
Player 2 selected
Conditions: the combination of those 3 switches
player 2 commands atleast 1 Fate
Actions: set "player 2 selected"
And so on for all 6 players + the 2 triggers that remoove the 2 unneeded/unused combinations.
When I'm testing it in single player, it randomizes those switches 1-7 (usually) times & then stops.
Can someone tell me what can be wrong ? Thanks

It doesn't seem like anything's wrong with that - It'll randomize and keep finding players that aren't there, so "randomize" will be cleared and it'll re-randomize... until it finds you, who are the only player in the game, at which point it'll set "player 1 selected" or whatever and then stop randomizing, since that trigger doesn't reset the switch "randomize".

lol why not just simplify things and say First Player Required? or is it random charactor start location ?

It's random start location.

Your triggers look good, you just made an error somewhere.
If it stops, it means that at one point it did not re-clear the "randomize" switch. Try double checking these points, as these would most likely be the most common source:
-Make sure the 2 other unsused combinations re-clear the "randomize" switch if they get selected.
-Check your "selection" triggers to make sure that the conditions for players 2-6 selection cannot be fufilled if they are not there, and that if it is not fufilled, "randomize" is cleared.
-Make sure every single one has a preserve trigger.

Yes, I found the mistake - I made the conditions wrong, didn't need one 
Thanks for the help
