i have a tower defense map setup with a creep spawn triggers that i found online that starts automatically
can someone help me getting the trigger to apply for each player that joins the game?
right now it uses a single spawn goes to the next level after all the creeps have been killed no matter how many 'players' are in the game.
its a fixed amount of creeps each level, and i want to be able to make the game scale for each player as multiple players would make the game too easy. ideally a spawn area for each player.
hang on i was trying to copy from the trigger list..
sorry if this looks like a lot, i tried copying the creeps spawns/levels trigger
and just changed the player from 12 to 11, so there were 2 different instances of the same trigger
i also tried making multiple spawn points using multiple regions but i couldnt assign more than a single spawn point
to the spawn trigger
but what happened is after all the creeps from level 1 died the game just stopped.
also theres a small issue with the creeps bounty, the player is assigned to player 12 for the creeps, if i changed that to neutral hostile would that allow bounties to be collected, since you dont normally collect bounties, only experience, from killing enemy units?

Player - Turn Gives bounty On for Player 12 (Brown)
You can use this for the bounty.
For multiple spawn points you have to take a look at your "Spawn" trigger. You need an additional variable for the second spawn point. And then create another unit at this point and order it to move. Your trigger has a problem if units die before all of them have spawned though and will create too many as a result. I suggest changing the condition to
(Number of units in (Units owned by Player 12 (Brown) of type creepSpawnType[LevelCounter])) Greater than or equal to creepNumLevel[LevelCounter]
You could always modify my kind of bad TD spawn system I made for a version of Green Circle TD. It was data fed and dealt with player scaling as well as multiple spawns (as is part of the map).
