I wanted advice on how to make a system in my map I’m working on where if a player were to leave during the game that particular player’s units would be given to a “Reserve Player”. This player would have to wait for that particular occasion and would have his own force in the lobby. Clokr gave some good advice on a trigger system for my map and it is listed below in the link. So the question is how to incorporate a “Reserve Player” into my map using Clokr’s trigger system?

Yes that's exactly what you do. Player 12 is neutral. Ever notice when you put your mouse over a unit and it turns yellow? That means those units are owned by player 12 which is neither a player or a computer. When a human player leaves a game all their units become "neutral" to deactivate them without removing them. So to give those units to another player you just use a simple give units changing the 'owned by' to player 12.

On another note: Make sure you have no other units owned by player 12 on the map at any point. If you know there may be units that you don't want your Reserve player to have, then set up locations where the players units would be, and use "Give units at location" instead. For example, you may not want your reserve player to obtain other players "Upgrade buildings" or something of that sort. You can also use "Remove units owned by player 12 at location" to get rid of excess units or buildings so that your map looks nice and neat even after players leave.

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- Even tried with imgur, doesn't attach.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
