Listen, I am making a "troll tribes" kind of map ... anyway, many things are finished, but still I need to figure out a small issue:
I need to find an easy way to respawn 4 types of units (Stone deposit, Iron deposit, Mithril deposit and Copper deposit). What I need is a short way to make them re-appear every 5 minutes at the exact place where they were placed in the World Editor
Please help me.

Does it have to check if the previous deposit is still there?

Well ... yes, I mean, we donn't want one deposit to spawn over the other. Ijust need it to replace a dead unit (deposit) 3 minutes after its death.

It won't ... because if another deposit of the same type dies before this one is revived, it will start the trigger again... and everything will fail.

Unit dies, condition: triggering unit equal to deposit, wait 300 seconds, set temppoint = (Position of triggering unit), create 1 unit-type of triggering unit at temppoint for owner of triggering unit, call RemoveLocation(udg_temppoint)

the reason why you should use triggering unit is, because it's saved local means it can be used after waits

I thought about something similar as you Squiggy, but does this trigger work with items?

Click to expand...

trigger can be use several time simultaneously
Squiggy's one will works perfectly if temppoint is a local variable
(add as first action in the trigger "Custom Script : local location udg_temppoint" to make it local = one for each use of the trigger)
