Player Handicaps?

Hi everyone. I've been having problems with setting up a handicap for players. For some reason, it just doesn't seem to work, at all. Maybe I just don't understand how the handicap action works, or I'm applying it wrong. Here is what I'm working on and trying to do.

Ive been working on a WMW map for some time (yeah I'm part of the disease), but this one is ownage in comparison. But that doesn't relate to my problem. I'm trying to set a difficulty selectable through a dialog menu on startup, but it just doesn't do anything. I got it to take the life down of one enemy unit once, then it just went back to 100%.

Here is my handicap triggers:

^^The above trigger is run from a previous dialog trigger. PlayerStartups1 is the first available player on team 1 to recieve the menu. The If/then/else command is to autoset after 11 seconds in case of an AFK idiot.




^^Player 7-12 are the players I use to mass units with, so they are the ones I want to recieve the handicap. Notice 100% normal is really 75% in trigger, but nobody will know the difference. I'm not sure why this doesn't work... But here is my unit massing trigger. This is for the top team, but bottom has the same trigger:


^^This trigger builds a unit, and sends it to the first rect of the mass. It will cycle giving the unit to player 7, then 9, then 11, only if the game mode greed is true. If not, it just does 9 and 11. More players handling the units means no clumping, which is why I did it this way. Anyway, the handicap is not applied to the units being sent. I have even tried applying the handicap everytime this trigger is run, but that doesn't work either.

The map can be found at http://bmgcl.emuxhaven.net/wmw.htm. It is the "Tournament Edition" found at the bottom, for I've stopped making superspeed. It's protected so can't be opened, but you can see the only thing I'm missing is a difficulty selector.

Why won't u make it like:

Create unit xxx at loc xx facing x
Set life of Last Created Unit to Handicap% of max life

Yes, that would work, but that's not what I'm trying to accomplish. Then I would have to go through every unit and change their max HP to the maximum difficulty, and it just wouldn't look as nice as if thier max hit points was altered instead of walking down the aisle half dead. I want to get the handicap function to work, but I don't understand how to.. plus I can't find any resources on it.

Can anyone at least tell my why handicap isn't working AT ALL? I seem to be the only person (I searched every thread I could find) in which handicap is doing nothing for.

Are the units origionally owned by players 1/2/3, rather than those with the handicap?

If so, that is the problem.

Ahhh thank you, that is the problem. I dont' want to alter player 1-6's units directly, so I made an alternative trigger to modify player 7 and 8 instead, then change the ownership accordingly. But it isn't ordering the unit correctly.

This sets the handicap correctly, but doesn't move the unit.. I'm using (Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Move To (Center of XXXXX <gen>)) Which in theory should work, but isn't.. It creates the unit, it sets the variable and changes the ownership, but the Order isn't moving the unit. I'll mess around with it some more, but if anyone can see the fault in this, please let me know.

Edit: Nevermind, I got it all down now, thank you for the people that helped! I changed the trigger slightly to this and it helped a ton.
