Ok i have a spawning problem in a CTF map that i am making. I am trying to have randomized spawns. Somewhere in the map, i have a protoss probe owned by P12. I'm using hyper triggers that everyone owns as this is a 4vs4 map. Because of this, i can't use wait triggers.

Trigger 1

Condition:
Current player brings exactly 0 men to 'battlefield'
Current player suffered exactly 0 deaths of Terran Command Center.

Actions:
Modify death counter for current player: Set to 40 for command center.
Preserve Trigger

Trigger2

Conditions:
Current player suffered at most 40 deaths of Command Center
Current player suffered at least 2 deaths of command center.

Actions:
Modify death count for Current player: subtract 1 for command center
Preserve Trigger

Here are my randomized spawn triggers:
Quote
Conditions:
Current player suffers exactly 1 deaths of Command Center.
All players bring at least 1 protoss probe to 'A1'
Current player brings exactly 0 men to 'battlefield'

Actions:
Create one Marine at 'Respawn1' for Current player.
Modify death count for current player: Set to 0 for men
Modify death count for current player: Set to 0 for command center.
Preserve Trigger.

Conditions:
Current player suffers exactly 1 deaths of Command Center.
All players bring at least 1 protoss probe to 'A2'
Current player brings exactly 0 men to 'battlefield'

Actions:
Create one Marine at 'Respawn2' for Current player.
Modify death count for current player: Set to 0 for men
Modify death count for current player: Set to 0 for command center.
Preserve Trigger.

Conditions:
Current player suffers exactly 1 deaths of Command Center.
All players bring at least 1 protoss probe to 'A3'
Current player brings exactly 0 men to 'battlefield'

Actions:
Create one Marine at 'Respawn3' for Current player.
Modify death count for current player: Set to 0 for men
Modify death count for current player: Set to 0 for command center.
Preserve Trigger.

And here's the probe owned by P12 that is being moved.

Conditions:
All players bring at least 1 protoss probe to A1

Actions:
Move all protoss probe for all players at A1 to A2.
Preserve Trigger

Quote
Conditions:
All players bring at least 1 protoss probe to A2

Actions:
Move all protoss probe for all players at A2 to A3.
Preserve Trigger

Quote
Conditions:
All players bring at least 1 protoss probe to A3

Actions:
Move all protoss probe for all players at A3 to A1.
Preserve Trigger

So this is somewhat like what i used for this map. However, it doesn't spawn for some reason. Can anyone help me?

Much appreciated.

EDIT: What I said is stupid.

Try "Neutral" or "Neutral Players".

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

Drones of P12 will not comply to orders. And AFAIK they will even stop when they are given a moving unit. You could
1. ) try giving the drone to P1, order it, wait 0 ms, then give it to P9.
2. ) Or, if that doesn't work too, - imo a much better method, if you don't need visualization of the randomization - just use a constantly repeating dc. e.g. 4 spawn points, count from 0-3 then restart and place the heros dependent on the dc value.
3. ) If you DO need visualization, use a leaderboard with custom score, the countdown timer (potentially buggy without hypers), or one of the resources.

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating

NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games
