start location problem

06-30-2004, 05:15 AM

The map I am creating has two teams with up to 5 players on each team. The start locations are in rooms on opposite sides of the map, and with all 5 members of a team's start location right on top of each other.

I want it to be random which side of the map the two teams start on.

So I unchecked the fixed start location, and with 10 players it works great. But if there is only a couple players, there is a chance that the 2 teams start locations end up in the same room.

How can I fix this?

by doing it with a trigger. Just put the start location on fixed again, and use this trigger:

Code:

Events:
Elapsed Time 0.01 seconds

Conditions:
None

Actions:
if Math - Random number between 1 and 2 = 1 then
    player group - pick every player in (allies of player 1 red) and do 
        camera - pan camera for (Picked player) on Start1
        "Create units for player" @ start 1
    player group - pick every player in (allies of player 5 yellow) and do
        camera - pan camera for (Picked player) on Start2
        "Create units for player" @ start 2
else
player group - pick every player in (allies of player 1 red) and do 
        camera - pan camera for (Picked player) on Start2
        "Create units for player" @ start 2
    player group - pick every player in (allies of player 5 yellow) and do
        camera - pan camera for (Picked player) on Start1
        "Create units for player" @ start 1
