Create 1 Unit, creates two?

I have a few basic "create 1 unit" triggers but instead, it creates two units for ALL of my triggers that are set to create one.. This is the first time this has happened. What could I have done wrong/How do I fix it?



None.

If the triggers are under something like "Force 1" and there's 2 players under force 1, it will run 2 times, one time for one player and another time for the other player.

>be faceless void >mfw I have no face

Is there more than one player running the trigger?

Yeah, it's for Force 1, Force 2, and player 8.
Create 1 battlecruiser for player 4. So should I set this trigger for Player 1 2 3 ect, instead of Force?



None.

>be faceless void >mfw I have no face

If several players running the trigger fulfil the condition, they will all do the action once each. What is the condition?

Use P1,2,3,4 etc. and use "Current Player"

Okay but, in the same trigger I'm trying to have them all have a switch set while at the same time the cruiser for player 4 is made. So I'm guessing the only way is to have these two actions in separate triggers?



None.

Correct.

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

Actually not.
The better solution would be to use a death counter set to 1 instead of a switch and then check for
All Players have suffered at least [# of players] deaths of 'switch dc'

uhh... at least if you're trying to do what I think. If that doesn't work you'd have to tell us more about the switch's usage and purpose.
In any case a switch is a global variable. If a player sets it then it's set for everyone. Death counters is a Current Player variable (every player has its own count) so you can check how many players have it set to 1 (or if all have it set).

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
