GhostThruster's Creep Setup and Revival System.
1.Info:
This system is in full GUI so masters and amatuers alike can use it. It is very simple and requires basic knowledge. The system just saves the point of origin and facing angle of a unit into variables, so later if that unit dies, it will be resurrected exactly as it was, with same facing angle and at the point where it was placed in the editor(note that this is not where the unit dies, so even if it ends up half way across the map, it will be revived in its camp).
2.Help:
If you are having troubles, just find me, GhostThruster on the Hive Workshop. This system is relatively easy anyway. I recommend this to be used in RPGs and melee maps as they are the maps that use respawing creeps.
3.Instructions:
a-Copy and paste this trigger category into your map.
b-CreepNum is a variable that stores the custom value of a creep encoutered by your unit. It increases by 1 for every new unit encountered.
c-CreepFaceAngle is a real that stores the creep units' facing angle.
d-Creeps is a unit array variable that uses CreepNum as its index. This is to determine the unit that dies and its type. Creeps is based on the custom value of that unit.
e-CreepRevivePoint is the initial place of where the creep is encountered. This is an array based on CreeepNum too, so the right unit is revived at the right place. This point is established when the hero moves within 1000 of the creep's position (further than casting, aquisition and attack range)
f-NeutralizedUnits is a unit group that adds already stored units so that they are not stored again as a variable.
g-Temp_Group_1 is a unit group that is for one time use to find all the units on the map that are creeps and can be stored.
