I'm (mostly) remaking a basic RPG map from SC1 in SC2, and while I was a fair hand at SC1 triggers, I never really did anything with WC3 triggers, so the new editor blows my mind.

I have a pretty basic situation. I edited the Larva to be able to move around, and placed a single Larva for each player in the area of the map I roped off for hero selection. I can have each player select a hero, and that's fine. I need to be able to determine which players aren't actually in the game, so I can start the rest of the game once all the Larva in the selection area are gone. I also will need to know how to determine when all those Larva are gone - I currently don't see the old trigger option that there are no larva in x region.

Assuming that each player has only 1 larva you could have a trigger which runs every 0.5 seconds that has a condition that player has 1 larva. This trigger could then turn itself on when run.

Realistically you should be using dialogs now though.

The way I look at it, a dialog just isn't a nice way to select your hero. I suppose it could be done, but I don't think it's that much cleaner.

Okay, that solves the problem for determining when the larva are gone, more or less, but I still need to know how many players I have. Is there a way to count the number of units in a given region? Seems kludgy.

I'd like to add one minor question to here instead of making a new topic:
I'm trying to order a unit to move, but the best I have is this:

Event: Any Unit enters within 1.0 of Point
Action: Order Triggering Unit to Ability Command (Replace Existing Orders)

when I click the link for Ability Command and search for Move, the only thing that coems up is hold Posistion, with no option for where to move to..

There is a function under PlayerGroup called ActivePlayers. This should return all players in the game.

Thanks. Topic can be locked, I'll figure the move thing out on my own.
