I'm trying my hand at the control-the-beacon method for resource generation. Do I have to make seperate triggers for each player should they control each beacon or can I make one set under the "All Players" category?

It's been a long time since I've done anything in StarEdit...damn. I'm sorry, I forget.

I'll relay the question to some of my friends tonight who are into modding, however. This'll be a piece of cake for them...

Depends entirely on what you want to happen.

Some triggers, if put under "all players" or one of the Forces, such as "Spawn X units" or "give X minerals" will actually do X times the number of players iin map/force, instead of X.

This is what I want to do:

There are little islands with beacons on them. If a building is placed on an island, I want it to generate a certain amount of minerals for the owner of the building ever 2 or so minutes.

PervigilisHaplo: first, you need a counter for 2 minutes, either a big timer thing or a death counter which adds 1 death preserved. 120 deaths (1 per sec) would be 2 minutes
PervigilisHaplo: then
PervigilisHaplo: for all of your players
PervigilisHaplo: condition: Current player brings at least 1 building to 'island 1'
PervigilisHaplo: current player has suffered at least one death of x unit
PervigilisHaplo: OR
PervigilisHaplo: "timer = 0"
PervigilisHaplo: Actions: add x ore and gas
PervigilisHaplo: preserve trigger
PervigilisHaplo: then set a trigger to clear all the deaths once all the other trigs have executed
