I have a nice map with full scripting added and a complex waypoint system but it is a bassic skirmish map (kill everyone else and win), I want to make the objective to be for one team to capture 4 specific buildings to win the game. Instead of killing everyone to win. how can I do this to my map. in the scripting?

Use scripting to do something along the lines of *If "Unit_ is captured by player_ *AND Unit_ is captured by player_ *AND Ect.." *Then (Either use "Player->ShowVictorious and end game" or activate another script so you can do custom things such as play music and show text before ending game.)

There is a USA mission where you have to capture about 5 rockets from GLA, So you can see what script they chose for the capture part.

You can also use '*If unit_ Captured *Then add 1 to counter_' in one script, and in another have '*If counter_ = 4 *Then (Either use "Player->ShowVictorious and end game" or activate another script so you can do custom things such as play music and show text before ending game.)

If I had 2 players on one team would they both win if either team captures them all? or would it be single player only?

on the usa 5 camp. map there is a script folder called Toxin_GLA in there is is a folder for the missle silo's and a entry for each one 1-4, each one adds to the counter but I cant find where the script is that the If counter=4 then end game is at. also it has the human player as player0001 as the ones that need capture but i have no script for a player0001 obviously, I have the scripting that is in the game directory. Do i need to make a new script folder for the human players? or would it just be player_1 and Player_2 to capture because the human players start in start spot 1-2

Working with scripts for multiplayers is rather limited. You can only refer to the host of the game in a script that calls for a player. To do this, use & make sure the script is in the PlyrCivilian folder.

You cannot anouce a win for a player & accounce a loss for another player in the same map, it just doesn't work.

If you want the victory window to come up (which will come up for all the players & only for all the players) once the buildings are captured, then the scripts could look like one of these examples: (The action loction will be next to the respective actions below.)(Lets say you used the BikonurGroundControlCenter)

Example 1:

*** IF ***
Player 'PlyrCivilian' has Equal To 0 unit or structure of type 'BaikonurGroundControlCenter' (Player\Owns\Player has (comparison) unit type.)
*** THEN ***
Show 'Victorious' window and end game (Multiplayer\Announce victory.)

Example 2:

*** IF ***
Player '' has Equal To 5 unit or structure of type 'BaikonurGroundControlCenter' (Player\Owns\Player has (comparison) unit type.)
*** THEN ***
Show 'Victorious' window and end game (Multiplayer\Announce victory.)

These are basicly your only options. You can either have so that if any of the buildings be captured, to open the victory window. (Example 1) Or you can it, when the host captures the 5 buildings, the victory window will come up. (Example 2)

As I said, scripting this kind of stuff is limited in multiplayer.
