I have searched among old threads regarding this topic, but they state that it is not possible.. :(

However, when I tried the Warcraft 3 mod on Battle.net, the names of the races are indeed changed in the ingame lobby, so it says Human, Orc, etc instead of Terran, Zerg, Protoss... See the picture below... So it must be possible :)

Any idea how to do that? I have checked the text editor and the race field in the data editor, but that does not seem to have any effect.

Dunno if you mean that with race-field, but in the data-editor there is a race tab. Tried changing anything there?

Thanks for your reply,

yeah if I go to the race tab and for example change the name of Terran to "Humanoids" or whatever.. then I upload my mod-file on B.net.. when I enter the lobby to select race, I can still only choose between Terran, Zerg, Protoss. The names remain the same

Anyone has any good advice?

Bump.

Anyone knows?

Would you mind to elaborate on player attributes?

Thanks for a very informative post!

This solution still requires triggers, right? Is it possible to make it work without triggers?

Thanks for your replies! I will follow your advice and fiddle around with the race selection menu

I have a quick question about this. How can this be done on a mod? There is no game variant tab in the mod editor, so how can it be done?

You just need to make a trigger with a Map Initialization event that uses a For Each Player In Player Group action. Under this loop use several If Then Else actions that use a Comparison condition with the logic of Attribute Player-Value = (insert your race here) and a Set Player Race action. At the end have a Set Starting Units For Player action. You also need to use the Picked Player function for all parameters defining the player.

 Bumping this thread.

I have managed to create the lobby selection for races, as described in post #8 in this thread. This is how it looks in the lobby: https://imgur.com/a/t9qBWUm

I am now trying to create the trigger in the quote above but I don't understand. I suck at triggers. :(

If anyone has time to explain in more details or upload a picture of it or something, that would be highly appreciated.

I really want this to work properly : /

What part are you having issues with?

 Below is a picture of how my trigger looks so far, with some red arrows and questions mark added to it.

As you can see on the picture, I don´´'t understand how to insert a race in: Attribute Player-Value = (insert your race here)

And I don't understand this: "You also need to use the Picked Player function for all parameters defining the player."
