checking to see if player is defeated

[JagoBC]

OK.. So now that I know how to check for which players are human and which are AI, does anyone have some small loop or thread that I can run daily to see which players have been defeated? I thought my multiplayer map was finished, but on my last play i noticed toward the end of the game that I was getting errors saying something along the lines of "Player not active". I am certain this was at the part of my daily code where I reminded the AI of what it should be doing (SetAIAttractor) so I moved that part of the script to the very end, but it still stops the code for any still active AI players numbered higher than the AI players that have been defeated. If I could insert a loop to check each player number to see if it has been defeated, I could then change the attractors to if statements only to be executed if the AI player has NOT been defeated.

Thanks.

Ok, first off, which version are you using? If it's not HoMM IV, I can't help.


I believe that in HoMM IV there is a way to check, if you make it a daily or continous event it'll work. Make a conditional action; and make the condition (under IF) 'PLAYER IS ELIMINATED' there you can choose the color of the various (AI) players.

I hope I've helped
