He is not sent to observers, he just loses his hero and gets to see the map.
Please stop using stupid topic titles. I changed it to "How to send a player to observers via triggering?".

The function for assigning players to obs is:
call SetPlayerState(Player(p),PLAYER_STATE_OBSERVER,1)
There is no GUI equivalent for this. (
p is a number between 0 and 11, where 0=red, 1=blue, ..., and 11=brown.)
But link to the map on epicwar and I will deprotect it. We shall see, what we shall see.
EDIT: I found it:
http://www.epicwar.com/maps/25217/
Here is the extracted function:
Code: Select all
function Qv takes nothing returns nothing
call DisplayTextToForce(bj_FORCE_ALL_PLAYERS,(q[(1+GetPlayerId(GetTriggerPlayer()))]+" has become a referee to the game. He/she has vision of the whole map."))
call ForceRemovePlayer(O,GetTriggerPlayer())
call ForForce(O,function QL)
call ForForce(P,function Qm)
call SetPlayerStateBJ(GetTriggerPlayer(),PLAYER_STATE_GAME_RESULT,0)
call CreateFogModifierRectBJ(true,GetTriggerPlayer(),FOG_OF_WAR_VISIBLE,bj_mapInitialPlayableArea)
call GroupRemoveUnit(aP,R[(1+GetPlayerId(GetTriggerPlayer()))])
call ForForce(O,function QM)
call ForForce(O,function Qn)
call ForGroupBJ(fD(GetTriggerPlayer(),Condition(function QN)),function Qo)
call ForGroupBJ(fE(GetTriggerPlayer(),'n008'),function QO)
call RemoveUnit(aw[(1+GetPlayerId(GetTriggerPlayer()))])
set E=CountPlayersInForceBJ(O)
if(Qq())then
call ConditionalTriggerExecute(Dd)
endif
set F=(F+1)
if(QR())then
set F=(F+1)
endif
if(Qt())then
set F=(F+1)
endif
if(QU())then
set F=(F+3)
endif
endfunction
As you can see from line 6, they used
Player - Set (Triggering player) Game result to 0, which is kinda weird. I can't believe it worked.

Wow 3ice! Was it unprotected or did you de-protect it?
Note to asker...
An easier way to make the person observer would be destroy all their units and then give them visibility over the whole map
and also make them allies with all the players...
Its pretty simple but works! (i think :p)

Deprotected.
By the way unprotected and deprotected have the same meaning. (Strange, huh?) And unprotected makes no sense so most people use deprotected.
The proper way to ask your question is "Was it
not protected".
Every sign of protection is on that piece of code. Mainly: Very short function and variable names with no meaning. Example:
QR() means nothing. F means nothing. (To a human anyway.)

That is exactly what I posted almost a whole year ago... Why would you steal my answer and make it look like yours?

Why don't you make this trigger
if player types "-obs" or "-Observe".
Then make these actions:
Unit Group - Pick all units (Owned By (triggering player) and remove Picked Unit)
Visibility - Make the map visible to the triggering player
player - Set gold and lumber and food to 0
Game - Text Message for # of seconds "Name of Triggering Player has decided to be an Observer" he has full view.

Because that's not what he wanted.
Please don't post wrong solutions into a thread that has the correct solution already.

Nope. You repeated what two people already said above, and it isn't even the right answer.
This was the question:

This is the solution:

By the way it happened on 2009/02/03 and today is 2010/05/23 so I guess you are also a bit too late. Over a year late...
