An idea for map testers

If you just want to test out the gameplay but don't want other people playing your map on battle.net, create a trigger than on Map initialization it checks if any player slot has your bnet user name in it. If it doesn't, the map will end in defeat. Protect your map too, that way they can't modify the trigger data (easily) and play your map. Instead of during closed tests to some random people you hardly know, just create a game on bnet.

Oh, wait a sec!
So you make it check for your name, and if you aren't playing, you get defeated... Good idea. That way a closed beta wont spread, as well as you can put whatever message on the defeat message as well!

That's innovative thinking!

Everyone should notice this! *kisses FyreDaug*
