[Trigger] A footman spawning trigger

[Giantr]

Hello I'm making a footman frenzy type of a map and I was wondering how can I make efective triggering. Meaning should I make a seperate trigger for every player (highly improbable) or should I make a seperate trigger for every type of unit produced. If you have another sugestion feel free to share it

You should not separate them at all xD

Make it a loop,,
Maybe a loop in a loop?

• For each Integer A from 1 to 12
  • loop - Actions
    • For each Integer B from 1 to (The amount of footman you want)
      • loop - Actions
        • Set TempLoc = Center of YourRegion
        • Create 1 Footman @ Temploc for (Player(Integer A))
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)

How will this help I can create several footman with one single action without the need of intergers



Edit : sorry for double post

Uhm, this way you can add them to a unit group easyly, if you dont want that, you can just create 5 (or so) footman directly under the Integer A loop

Maybe but still I don't understand how can this help me please be more accurate

nvm, this is to let you see you dont need 12 triggers or so,,

 

[Giantr]

Can you be more specific (I'm want to learn you see)

• Actions
  • Set TempGroup = (Units of type SpawningBuilding)
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
    • Loop - actions
      • Set TempLoc = (Position of (Picked unit))
      • Unit - Create 1 Spawn for (Owner of (Picked unit)) at TempLoc facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
      • Point - Remove TempLoc
  • Unit Group - Destroy unit group TempGroup

And you don't need loop if you want to create many units.

I'm want to learn you see

Learn Jass so. There is no such word as"efficiency" if you're using GUI.

 

[Giantr]

Jass seems too much complex all that writing and such is not for me. And I'd rather learn GUI before setting out to do jass

i don't know what u need exactly but u need 1 trigger that have to be

every X seconds of game time

Actions
if then else
cond
if units of type barrack for player 1 equal to 1
act
create 1 footman for player 1 at his start location

if then else
cond
if units of type crypt for player 1 equal to 1
act
create 1 ghoul for player 1 at his start location

and so on and this is symple and leak free

• Spawn Footmen
  • Events
    • Time - Every 6.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Unit_Group = (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Barracks) and (((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True)))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Unit_Group and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Point = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Owner of (Picked unit)) at Point facing Default building facing degrees
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Unit_Group)

I think this is better but there is one slight problem I have to do a seperate trigger for every unit (and that is not the most efficient way to go) So can anyone tell how can I not make a seperate trigger for every unit and if not possible I'll let it be.
