help with triggers involving all players

i'm having a lot of trouble trying to implement all players into one trigger. at first it was selecting units... how to have one trigger take care of all players for selecting units. I figured that out but now I'm having trouble with implementing all players to see out the same camera etc etc... i couldn't find any good tutuorials so if someone could point a finger that'd be nice. just to reiterate i'm trying trouble implementing "all player" triggers.

i don't understand what you mean...

I'm talking about any trigger involving "all players." For example. I want "all players" to see out of one camera in one trigger.

I see a lot of triggers that might accomplish this but they're not working for me and only gives me errors or non working results. Hope that clarifies. Thanks.

You could make a ''Player Group" 'variable'.

Add all players to that; then when asking what player to view the camera etc., just select that variable.

Does that help.......?

You could just make the action for each player. It really isnt TOO tedious. Just make a copy of the one for player one, paste however many more you need and edit the players in it. It really isn't a big deal if you have a couple extra actions.

draco, i've tried that... but I've tried using something like "Pan Camera for <player> to <area> over <seconds>. The only variable it'll take is a single player variable not player groups. and I can't add multiple players to a single player variable and a single player array won't work either because it's still adressing one player.

dinadan, you don't find hundreds and hundreds of triggers tedious? not only that every trigger has like 5-10 different parts... this player, that area, this regoin, that unit... there's a ton of stuff and I'd like to make it as simple as possible. I'm making a rpg kind of map and it has a lot of cinematics and the camera movements alone take up a ton of triggers... not even the amount of actions the players have to do.

I thought with SO many triggers WE would have been specific and precise and better yet easy but I thought wrong. =)

Try to use local player when a single player is required.

I don't see Local Player anywhere. Could you explain that a little more please thanks.

Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do action.

Where action is your camera movement, units spawning, mana draning, porn viewing etc.

I am not sure if local player is only available in custom text because I only use custom text. To try it you can make your trigger using Player(1) and then convert it to custom text and replace all Player(1) references with GetLocalPlayer() . But it should not be used with creating units and similar stuff.

I'm already doing that. But it's a ton of extra trigger clicking plus I can't preview my camera movement without switching back and forth between warcraft and loading the map everytime.

I'll try that but it seems iffy. Could it cause problems...

I wonder why they just don't have Apply <camera> for all players over <seconds>.

Cause Blizzard was lazy. Oh, and local player is only for custom text, which would confuse most ppl.
