Basic Editor Help

[Bolt Head]

Hello everyone, Im trying to learn the war 3 editor and right now im very much a newb at it. I very good at Starcraft Mapmaking so anything that can be related to Starcraft is good for me. Anyways for my questions

1. How do you make a computer player? I changed player 12 to computer in my map and moved him to a differant force. I also deleted the basic triggers. But when I host the game on b-net I have to select the player to be a computer.

2. I currently have a list of Missions for say that a friend gave me to try to do. Well anyways im trying to make a text message that says the players name. My question is does that only work on battle.net? or does it work if i use the Test option in the editor?

Thanks in advance for your time and help.

1) Something to force user settings or something.

2) Should work on BNET.

Cool Thanks X43bn6, I found it under "Fixed Player Settings" in the forces window.

2) Anyways I trying to display the name of the player in the game every 5 seconds. Is there any reason this trigger doesn't work.

Events:
-Time - Every 5 Seconds of game time.
Actions:
-Game - Display to (All Players) the text: (Name of (Triggering player))

3) Anyways I placed a rifle man for players 1-3 (human) and they all show up in the game even if the player isn't there. Is this another player setting or something or do i have to remove them with triggers?

It's x42bn6...

Anyway, the event in your trigger seems fine, as does your second trigger. I'm not quite sure what the problem is, but I haven't cracked open my War3 editor for a couple months, so I'll get to that on Wednesday.
