When you "test" the map it places you on a random color, if the color can be changed freely

so if i put the map file in the map folder and start manually, it sets the color i choosed for the player/user to have?

I don't think the map editor puts you on a random available slot, it puts you on the most first player slot available whenever it can be. Did you ensure that the force settings are configured correctly?

Yea, I got it wrong, but I know something is random, on melee maps the positions are random, I just messed up. Oops

 

[Alright]

It's really more of a possibility that his force settings aren't locked, which may explain the reasoning.

 

[Thedraes]

i don't remember to do that, how do i force them?

Testing map always places you for Player 1, which is red, if Forces aren't modified.

To modify the forces, open your map in World Editor, click on Scenario, and select Player Properties. Here you can define which players are active, and which ones are computer based. Note that if the Player 1 is computer controled, when you test the map, it will give you first possible player slot which is user-defined (Example: If 1 is computer, and 2 is user, then you'll play as Player Blue [2]. If computers are Red, Blue and Teal, you'll test the map in Player Purple [4]). To play the game as the opposing force or other player-slot, you need to run the map manually from your Warcraft.

Now, there's also a tab named Forces there. There you select who is an ally of who without having to mess with triggers

 

[Alright]

Following Apheraz Lucent's post, what I was saying is that in the Forces tab, there is an option 'Fixed Player Settings' that should be ticked on, and set your forces there as normally. Then you won't really have a problem with the issues since it will force all how you defined it in the players tab in the same scenario properties.
