[Solved] auto-spawn with food limit trigger

[Spank_my_kodo]

How can I create a trigger that will stop unit spawn after reaching a certain amount of food? I don't want the region spawn to stop creating units forever, I want the region spawn to create sufficient units to fill up whatever food limit I set it to and fill up the empty food remaining. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

every x seconds
if player x food used less than y
then create unit

 

[Spank_my_kodo]

every x seconds
if player x food used less than y
then create unit

I tried that and it doesn't work This the trigger I have:'
Events
Time - Every 40.00 seconds of game time
Conditions
Actions
Player Group - Pick every player in Player Group - Player 12 (Brown) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Set PlayerBrown = Player Group - Player 12 (Brown)
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(Player 12 Brown) Food used) Less than 45
Then - Actions
Unit - Create 10 Alien Grunt for Player (Brown at (Center of Second Entrance <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees.
Unit - Create 3 Aliens for Player (Brown at (Center of Second Entrance <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees.
Else - Actions
Do nothing

They don't stop spawning. They keep spawning over the limit :/

It has to do with the condition, since you are doing a loop you have to use picked players food is less than 45

This works fine for me.

• Untitled Trigger 006
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 1.00 seconds the text: (String((Player 9 (Gray) Food used)))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Player 9 (Gray) Food used) Less than 8
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 9 (Gray) at (Random point in Region 004 Copy Copy <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
      • Else - Actions

CroMoX is correct, you're looping through all players, and if any player has les than 45 food used, it creates the units for P12.

I actually got the loop trigger from some thread in the hive similar to this thread in hopes that it worked but it didn't. So would it be better if I delete this trigger and start a new one? I'm just trying to find the easiest trigger for this to work

Oh my god, thank you so much! It works! And I really appreciate that you took some of your personal time to make the trigger for me! +REP!
