hello guys, i have check if any posts were made of this , but i have not found any, if they were i must of missed em, i like to apologize before hand if they were, i need help in making the observers for a melee map, like the forces and triggers, anything to make the observers, for example a Lost Temple Use map settings map usually have 4 other observer to view map, i want to make my melee map to have 4 other observers and 4 playing slots. i'm a complete newb at map making, so please be as discriptive as possible, thank you in advance , and i will say thank you again. Also can somebody add how to make random beside their name, so the player can select their race?
I'd suggest looking at another observer map and using their triggers.
http://broodwarmaps.net/That site has plenty of melee observer maps you can download and look at the triggers/forces for.
StarCraft does not have "observer" slots, as far as I know. You are either playing or you are not.
You are "playing" but you don't own any units so you are basically watching the people play. Which makes you an observer.
Just give the spectators some invincible units and share vision with the other active players. Spectators arent so good basically because they can help another player win by giving them vision. So make sure u got some hyp trigs and continous unshared vision
thx guys i have a question , how do i do
"i already did conditions"
Conditions:
always
actions:
Execute AI script'TURN ON shared vision for player1'.
Execute AI script'turn on shared vision for player2'.
Execute AI script'Turn on shared vision for player3'.
Execute AI script'Turn on shared vision for Player4'.
also when i try Run Ai script, or Run Ai script location, that dont give me shared vision for player
It matters who the triggers for, if the shared vision doesnt work you must have it backwards, so just flip it around
If you are using staredit, you should swich editors, SC-Xtra in base mode is almost exactly the same as staredit, If you like it's triggers and placement, but you get all those extra AI scripts and colored text.
