^ How do you remove "press any button to start" so it starts automatically.. I figure it's a custom script and u put it in the custom script thingy.:d i had a look at the faq but it was all basic "learn jass" i dont have time for (like i'm so important... yeah!)
so if this is a simple function that i mite just add it would be swell..

basically, the only time there isn't a press any button to start thing is when its a melee map...so it has something to do w/ the melee initialization trigger

No it has to do with the loading screen itself.

Note that I haven't tested this, but I believe that the "Press any key to start" only applies to loading screens with text. Yesterday I played a map without text in the loading screen and made a note of there not being any prompt for a keypress, and it didn't have a custom loading screen.

It only appears when you use custom loading screen, I can confirm that

Well.. that's what i... intended to say, in the first place

Anyways aI noticed some maps has custom loading screens but it also automatically starts.. maybe Enfo's Team Survival has this feature.. It's a nice feature and I'd like to add it to whatever map.. ;)

You go like:
Event:
Map initialization
Actions:
Game - Force UI Key 'A'

Really? Isnt map initialzation when the map begins? Not when you finish downloading.

Please correct me if im wrong. Is map initialization when you finish downloading and are waiting for other players or is it the moment the game actually begins? (when i say 'actually begins' i mean elapsed time = 0:00.01)

Thanks for your help you guys.

yes, map init is when it finished loading the map.

Did you ever notice that the ambient sound already starts when it waits for you to press a key?
It's also started on map init by blizzard.j.

If it is right when the map is done loading, cant you just Force UI key? like force all playing players to press A or something thus "Pressing any key"?

Would that work?

Ok, NM, it doesnt work, i think the only was is just remove the Custom Loading screen...

if a map spends enough time loading (i think its more than 20 - 30 seconds) it bypasses the press any key.
