Player Checking

trevor_madge · Vehicle Driver **Joined**: 30 Aug 2009

Hey I want to know if anyone has a method for checking if all players are present in game. Here's my problem, Half way through the skirmish I have reinforcements come in for all 4 teams, but if there is less than 4 team I get an IE. I understand why I get the IE I just want to know if there was anyway I could get around this.

Set the MinimumPlayers in the [Header] to 4.

that does work but that means I can't play 1vs1... I appreciate your help.

Other than that, I don't think there's any player count checking.

Well Ive tried putting a cell tag at every spawn and attaching each to a trigger, then having so when each individual team enters there specific cell tag zone it will enable the reinforcement trigger. But it didn't work for some reason...

How would I go about making it so it checks player<a> player<b> ect instead of the default ones available?

And also is there a universal CON. yard variable?

There isn't a "universal" conyard, just make a trigger for each conyard/side at each of the starting points. You can also code them to deactivate the other two unused ones when it fires etc.

Having similiar issues here -

I changed [Basic]MinPlayer=6

I added MinimumPlayers=6 to [Header]

my pkt reads MinPlayers=6

yet map still loads with only 2 players.

EDIT: Seems in TS for the pkt MinPlayers=>2 works but not in YR - confirmed by Aro

Well if you want all Human players then fail on my idea.
MY IDEA:
Have it so the "extra" spots are where the AI teams are or you could always just do a system like:
Is Player A in game? True=continue and give units/False=do nothing
Is Player B in game? True=continue and give units/False=do nothing
Is Player C in game? True=continue and give units/False=do nothing
Is Player D in game? True=give units/False=do nothing

@MigEater... Does Player@X work for testing if a player has something? I didn't think it worked for most event checks.

Place a small invisible building with a short ranged self-destruct weapon next to each start point. If building by A is destroyed (attached trigger) then A exists. Disable and destroy (no debris/sound) after a second.

You could use ConstructionYard, instead of GACNST or NACNST ... it's the name of the ConYard, be it Alleid or Soviet, doesn't matter, it's some sort of an universal name Very Happy

. I use this for testing buildings, but it should work in FA, i think. Hope it helps!

Well, the thread is almost one year old, and you can't have triggers check generic conyards AFAIK.

i forgot to check the date, and how was i supposed to know that triggers can't check generic conyards, i ain't no expert mapper Very Happy
