This is a Creeps Respawn System, like there is so many others.

As his name say: It ''ressurect'' neutrals monsters when they die.

Explanation of the ''ressurection'': When an unit DECAY and not die, the system create an unselectionnable shadow of the unit, which will became more and more visible and brighter.
when the shadow become enought bright, she is replaced with a creeps like herself which can be attacked and killed.

There is just a small problem, because when units decay, their facing seems to always be 0.00 (or 360.00 but it's same) so, the units will always look in the same direction. This is not so important but I said it so, you won't be suprized.

There is a GUI version and a vJass version, because i'm learning it so making this system was a good practice.

Here are the codes:

  • Creeps respawn system GUI Config
    • Evénements
      • Map initialization
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • -------- the timer before the unit respawns equal to Base_Config + Level_Configxlevel of the unit --------
      • Set CR_Respawn_Time_Level_Config = 5.00
      • Set CR_Respawn_Time_Base_Config = 10.00
      • -------- the effect created when the unit respawn --------
      • Set CR_Respawn_Effect = Abilities\Spells\Undead\AnimateDead\AnimateDeadTarget.mdl

sorry for my bad english and for the unreadable GUI code, it's because I'm french, so if someone could post the english version of the GUI code it would be great.

NEEDS FIX

  • Get rid of the bj (red coloured) functions in the vjass version
  • The system doesn't revive units properly, I killed
    the units in the test map and it only revied three of them
  • Creating a unit always leaks. Instead of replacing the unit,
    remove locust, add bear form, order to use bear form, remove bear form,
    hide unit, show unit. Use metamorphosis instead of bear form if
    the unit is a hero
  • Use better indexing

Well you can just use Reincarnation and set its delay to the number that you want and cd to 0, then voila: a creep respawn system ^^. Anyway, your system looks nice, and i guess i saw a point leak at " Creeps respawn system GUI Ondeath" trigger.

P.S Your image preview at the description isn't working.

  • You should use dynamic indexing, the current indexing loops through inactive instances
  • You create an extra unit for each dying unit, units always leak so you should avoid that
  • Get rid of the bj functions in the vjass version

Personally I'm not a fan of the unit fading in.

For the image preview, I don't know why this isn't working.

Yeah you're right, there is a point that leak in the Ondeath GUI trigger.
