[Trigger] Attacking Waves

[Yiux]

Hi!
I feel really weird! I've been searching and searching, but I have not been able to find the answer of my problem. If I have been looking wrong places, then I'm very sorry!
Anyway. I'm making a WC3 map (ofc ) And I try to make some attacking waves of creeps at each factions base. These mobs should move to the enemy and attack anything hostile on their route. Also if possible they should get a little stronger almost every wave. I have tried ordering them to patrol to region. Then when they hit the region, give them new order to patrol to next region. It simply just doesnt work alright!

So please! Can anybody give me a hint, or something that I can work with to make this map work?
Thank you very much!

This works dota like unit movest to a point, when reaches that point moves to another point. trigger originaly posted by (i forgot who it was, if author knows that this is his work, he sfhould get the credit).

look in the AI forum...

Yeah. I'm pretty new. So I'll just ask ^^. Should I also give +rep to people if their advice didn't help?

 

[Bubba Ex]

you can only give rep when you have rep yourself anyway (well, you can give rep but it won't count for anything)

Bubba, im pretty sure points in regions (center AND random) do not leak as I tested constantly ordering a unit to move to center/random point in a region with about 120k or more orders and it didn't lag a bit.

I think this is because a region already has all the coordinates of it and you just select 2 random reals/integers.
Just my own theory though lol.

erm... that post was a bit random considering the topic of the thread...

Yeah i red the wolfs post 4x an i didnt get what have his post, with this thread.
Wolf wrong thread! xD

I pointed that out because Bubba uses point variables in a Center of Region thingy.
Im pretty sure that variable is unneccessery.

Oh its not Bubba, its -BerZeKeR- lol, my bad.

 

[Bubba Ex]

its not BerZeKeR who did it either lol. If you look at the bottom of his post, it was originally posted by someone he can't remember lol.

As far as I know points always leak. Any point variable should be removed after use.

Yes but points in centers of regions aren't variables.
