Staredit Network > Forums > SC1 UMS Mapmaking Assistance > Topic: Any downside to Computer/Human shared forces?
If I have a map with computer, rescuable, and human players in the same force, will anything go awry? it is single player and I am already aware of the inability to (over battle.net) move between forces if there's a computer player in that force.

Outside of the lobby limitation you mention, not particularly. Pairing up humans and computers/neutrals/resuables in the same force doesn't cause any in-game concerns.
Force flags for alliance don't work as expected between humans and computers (computers treat the human as hostile even when the ally box is checked), so you would have to run a trigger to correct this behavior.

Quote from Forces wiki article
Computers in the same force as humans will not be allied to them. Computers in different forces as other computers will still be allied to them.

I already knew that, but thanks for the info nonetheless! Just wanted to rule out the possibility of it causing issues.

Ultraviolet -- oh yeah probably. think I misinterpreted the original message. I thought he meant moving the flag revealed the base in the sense that it opened it up to being scouted, but what you're saying makes more sense[2025-5-15. : 11:37 am]
Sie_Sayoka -- dont those ladder maps have use map settings game type? i remember in a lot of them there was display text showing the maker and other credits at the beginning[2025-5-14. : 4:42 pm]
fritfrat -- Good point.. maybe in Melee it sets off the hard-coded Capture the Flag logic when they pick up a p12 flag, revealing the SCV[2025-5-14. : 4:34 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I forget how they do it, but they can preplace P12 units in melee / TvB maps. Maybe unit sprites[2025-5-14. : 3:38 pm]
fritfrat -- Artosis and Tasteless were chatting on an ASL cast that 6 player maps will likely never happen for competitive SC, but Artosis mentioned how there was a concept of one where a worker had to pick up a flag to get out of their base, which resulted in their base being revealed. That's not possible with Melee / Top vs Bottom settings, is it? Thought I'd ask..[2025-5-09. : 8:45 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Me too. The general concept is exciting and fun to play, or at least I enjoyed it in the previous Diplo Europe iteration.
