The objective is to have 6 human players with randomized races, which is easy enough. However I want there to be a maximum of only 2 players per race. I already have 1 way to do this in my head. However I think it will potentially take too long, even with hyper triggers.

Basically my current method would be to randomize then check if there is already 2 players with the current race... if not then it's no problem. Once it gets down to the last player or two I think there is a chance that it could take a while to randomize them into the correct spots if they keep getting the already 'full' races.

Just looking for some other ideas on how to do this as quickly as possible.

That would be the best way to do it. It wouldn't take too long, especially if you had multiple randomizations per trigger cycle.

I would have a dc that represents starting locations. 0 = first start location; 1 = second, and so on. Then have each player randomize which amount they land on. Just do this with single switch randomization; add 1, two, and three death counts with the three triggers. There is a wiki article on single switch randomization. If you don't know what it is, and you'd like to know, I can tell you if it isn't in the wiki.

Just have the first person land on a random DC, place them at a location, then repeat for each player. Have a single trigger per 6 start locations that resets the randomizer if someone is already there.

This system is fairly simple, and should take about 20 triggers in all.

It should take on average 14.7 trigger cycles, which is about 1.225 seconds

it takes no time to randomize. You'd probably use a different unit, but you can also use a death count (use terran/toss/zerg marker) of player 8 and current player. The current player dictates the race, and the player 8 determines the total number.

Edit: fixed triggers. It -sorta- worked before. Now it actually works.

Why not fix the player slots at 2T, 2P, and 2Z and activate random start locations?

Sweet, great idea. I knew there had to be a simpler answer, just couldn't put my finger on it. Thanks for all the ideas guys.

FYI, you can't have 2 forces then. They all have to be on one force.

so it can be beaten by a prepared pro, even in macro games, if only barely. the muta micro in particular seems really hard to handle for protoss ground though. In the open goons can't catch them, in the base they trip over buildings, it just instantly flies out of storms and they fly circles around archons. Mass cannons do work, but can't cover the whole map with it. Probably need mass corsair to counter and hope you can outmaneuver all the scourge.
