A diffrent Training

[solomon409]

Hiya, Do you remeber the map "Bomber Command" made by blizzard?
Well even if you dont, there is a building ingame that automaticly builds units to bomb a target area.

I want that same thing where the building will "Channel" a ability that will spawn footmen every 5 seconds in a specific area and send it to attack the enemy base.
The trigger must work with multiplayer mode, so yea........

Please help!

Very simple.
Just create a trigger for this:

Event:
Periodic - every 5 seconds

Actions:
Create X footman at point Y for player Z
Unit Group - Order last created units to move-to/attack point

If this needs more explanation, plz ask.

Smells like Castle Fight-type map

If this is only supposed to happen when a certain building is built, then you would have to create another periodic trigger that searches if the building is built. if it is, then turn on above trigger.

Then, if it's destroyed, to turn off the above trigger, as well. Otherwise it will constantly happen regardless of the building being there or not.

@Baintastic, no, thats not how its supposed to work, look ill describe the sequence:
1- Player clicks channeling ability "Train Footman"
2-As long as its being chenneled, then every 5 second the spell is channeled, footmen are trained.

The probelm with baintastic's is that it wont work for multiple people and for multiple units(since there are more then one building)

@defskull- This is a small side-project of mine, it is a combo of Tower defense and Bomber Command, with many new features like Global spells, Upgradeable income, and much more.It will also include a simple A.I. to aid unbalenced teams.

then you need to index the channel ability, for example if the spell lasts 100 seconds, you need to create an integer variable...everytime you cast the spell set index=0 then it will run in another trigger...

trigger 1 = the spell wil run here, set index = 0

trigger 2 = set index = index+1

trigger 3 = here you set the spaws, and check if the index is less than 100 then this trigger will run, otherewise it will not

if you want it MUI, you will need hashtables & indexing systems for that though

gotcha.

variables:
Unit Group - Training_Group
Point - temp_loc
Point Array - Attack_Point[index is the player number]

• Trigger 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts channeling an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to ABILITY_GOES_HERE
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Add (Casting Unit) to Training_Group

• Trigger 2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to ABILITY_GOES_HERE
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Remove (Casting Unit) from Training_Group

• Trigger 3
  • Events
    • Time - Every 5.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Training_Group and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set temp_loc = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • Unit - Create 6 Footman for (Owner of (Picked unit)) at temp_loc facing 0.00 degrees
        • Unit Group - Order (Last created unit group) to Attack-Move To Attack_Point[(Player number of (Picked unit))]
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temp_loc)

Try that.

EDIT: THIS IS MUI. also, you'll just have to set the follow through time of the channel to determine how long units will be spawning for.

it not like that!
This is more of a auto-cast spell.Its just as long as your channeling, units spawn, when you stop channeling, they stop spawning!
not you order it to spawn, then it spawns after a duration, if it was like that, i would just use the normal training

EDIT-Nevermind- i get the triggers now, it works.......+rep
