when 6-8 of my friends and I play 3v3 or 4v4 melee, the best player almost always gets gang banged or cheesed by more than one opponent before the six minute mark, after which the game becomes terribly one sided and stupid. there's also cases where everyone will just constantly pick on one guy just for shits and giggles.
i would like to take an existing map and somehow add an action to randomize the player names so that the best player has at least a shot of surviving the early game. is this even possible? I can get the player names with PlayerName function but don't see anyway to set it. (I'm looking to *temporarily* set the name, for the duration of the match obviously, I'm not trying to change the blizzard name - which is clearly impossible). For example, show their names as "red","blue", etc, or 1,2,3...? Either that or hide the player name tooltip...
One thing i could think of is to not make any of the enemy units highlightable (most likyl though the data editor) and then hide UI, and hide that little button at the top which shows player's name's but im neither a trigger nor data editor so these are just small idea''s.
Im sure if you look hard enough you'll find somthing to change the names of the players like in Mafia
