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.

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
