Complex Tree Respawn. Need Help

[Frostmagus777]

Hello I've not been on Warcraft 3 for quite a few months due to college however now that I've finished my course I've gone back to playing Dota and mapmaking, I'm having a bit of trouble mimicking the Dota tree respawn system (If unit is near, tree waits to respawn (This prevents units getting stuck etc)). This is what I have so far, its not working, I was wondering if anybody can do better via triggers or Jass.

• TreeRessStart
  • Events
    • Destructible - A destructible within (Entire map) dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait 10.00 seconds
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 500.00 of (Position of (Dying destructible))) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Picked unit) Equal to No unit
          • Then - Actions
            • Destructible - Resurrect (Dying destructible) with (Max life of Ashenvale Tree Wall 2090 <gen>) life and Hide birth animation
          • Else - Actions
            • Trigger - Run TreeRessCont <gen> (ignoring conditions)

• TreeRessCont
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait 10.00 seconds
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 500.00 of (Position of (Dying destructible))) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Picked unit) Equal to No unit
          • Then - Actions
            • Destructible - Resurrect (Dying destructible) with (Max life of Ashenvale Tree Wall 2090 <gen>) life and Hide birth animation
          • Else - Actions
            • Trigger - Run TreeRessCont <gen> (ignoring conditions)

Thank you. (Rep will be given for useful working suggestions)

You cant select a unit that isnt there, sorry

Just use a handy little line that looks like this...

• TreeRespawn
  • Events
    • Destructible - A destructible within (Entire map) dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempLoc = (Position of (Dying destructible))
    • Wait 10.00 seconds
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Number of units in (Units within 500.00 of TempLoc)) Equal to 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Destructible - Resurrect (Dying destructible) with (Max life of (Dying destructible)) life and Show birth animation
      • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)

I didn't test it, but it should work (might not be MUI)

Ahhhh I get it now. Thats brilliant! I was being a bit lame choosing another tree to base its health on when it revives, chances are it would cause all sorts of problems and leaks. This method seems bulletproof. Just a few questions, whats the Custom Script thing at the end?

Also will this trigger cover numerous trees dying at the same time?
Also what happens if the unit is not of of the 500 radius? Is there a way to make the actions of the trigger repeat themselves? or is that already incorperated?

Just finished testing it, doesn't work at all still appreciate the help though, your on the right track with this though

Please forgive me for the multi posting, I'm not new to forums or anything like that, so there isn't an excuse, so I apologise... But I've realised what is wrong. The Event:

• Destructible - A destructible within (Entire map) dies

The Tool tip underneath the even when selecting it states: "Only the first 64 destructibles within the region when this event is registered are monitored for death. It is best to use this even for regions."

Ha, well I've figured out the problem, now I just need to find a way around it. Any suggestions?
