Hey guys,

So I've been toying with the editor for the first time in an attempt to enable spectators in the new "Starcraft Master" map released by Blizzard.

Here's a few things I've already done to help expedite a solution:

1.) Unchecked "Disable Observer" in the Map Options settings. 2.) Added new players and to their own team under user control. 2.a) Unlocked alliances and hidden attributes, etc.

I'm assuming there's something absurdly obvious that I'm missing.... that's where you guys come in :)

Thanks in advance!

bump.

@Ludeo: Go

Really? Still nothin? :(

How about this ...

You posted in the wrong forum and bumped it twice even though it was still on top of the list.

@DogmaiSEA: Go

There's that constructive feedback I was anticipating! Way to perpetuate the internet community stereotype, lol.

Does anyone have anything constructive to say?

Thanks again!

@Ludeo: Go

I have something constructive to say. Go to the right forum and ask for help.

Don't bump a post that was already on the top. (What's the point...?)

Don't talk about this community as if you know the community. You have 4 posts, and clearly that comment showed you're a hypocrite.

And, your welcome.

You can't forget the fact that all four of his posts are in this thread, and that he's only been here for 17 hours (as of this post).

You need to explain what your problem is.

Are players able to join the game, but has black screens ingame? If so, try create a Map Initialization trigger, that has a Visibility - Create Visibility Revealer for Player X in Entire Map. Insert the player slot of the observers at the X.

Can't help you further, without more information about your problem.

@ScorpSCII: Go

Thanks Scorp! Let me elaborate further.

Basically the problem is that "Spectator" and Referee" right-click context menu options are not available for players within the lobby. The two options remain grayed out and unavailable when using the above settings.

There are no black screens or anomalies. Players are able to join the additional user control slots that I designate. I just simply can't get them set to Spectator and/or Referee :(

Thanks again!

@Ludeo: Go

Sounds like you might have locked the spectator option in the game attributes/variants.

@ScorpSCII: Go

I checked the game attributes and variants and couldn't find anything that mentioned spectators or referees :(

The only thing I found was a checkbox for all players that locks/unlocks hidden attributes?

Also, for future reference, since no one mentioned which forum is appropriate for queries such as these, where should I be posting when I have editor questions? I scrolled the categories several times and it appeared this was the best place for feedback and questions on map making.

Thanks again!

@Ludeo: Go

This is the "Player Zone" for... PLAYERS. I would assume, anyways.

The "Development" forums are probably what you're looking for, as it pertains to DEVELOPMENT. Whoa, big shocker huh? For someone who said they scrolled the forums several times, you must not know how to read English. Anyways, try the "Miscellaneous Development" forum in the DEVELOPMENT area.

Here's some further clarification on the development forums:

• Melee Development - For all MELEE related info.
• Data - For all DATA related info.
• Triggers - For all TRIGGER related info.
• Galaxy Scripting - For all SCRIPTING related info.
• Terrain - For all TERRAIN related info.

Seriously, need I go on?
