Create a new item in a region every X second + can't go beyond a certain number.

[Mr.Goblin]

Think my title says it!

I'm trying to replace the Building=goldmines as the gold income in a survival type of game. What I'm trying to create is = force player to explore the cave in search for rocks which would then give them gold once used. (Variations of the item Gold coins)

So here's the step by step of what I'm trying to accomplish with my poor knowledge of triggers.

Step 1 =
Every 20 seconds, create a (Gold coins) item in a (random spot in region)

Step 2 = (which is what I can't acheive on my own) I don't want the number of that item to go beyond 30. (So basically i want the loop to stop after the number of (Gold coins) reached 30.

Step 3 = if the player picks a few of these (Gold coins), I want the trigger to start producing the item once again..... until it reaches 30 again.)


So basically, the map will always rebalance itself and if you pick too much gold right away, you'll lack the ressources for awhile.
savy?

• Create Item In Rect
  • Events
    • Time - Every 60.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set temp_item_count = 0
    • Item - Pick every item in Item Region <gen> and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Item-type of (Picked item)) Equal to Tome of Experience
          • Then - Actions
            • Set temp_item_count = (temp_item_count + 1)
          • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • temp_item_count Less than 20
      • Then - Actions
        • Item - Create Tome of Experience at (Center of Item Region <gen>)
      • Else - Actions

Note there is a location leak. I did not fix because I am lazy.

Geez thanks! Most of my problem is fixed now! Although, once the items are picked, they don't start respawning.

Although, once the items are picked, they don't start respawning.

You can subtract the "Item-count" integer variable by 1 everytime they got picked up or used.

Ended up turning into a "request" over chat. Only supports one region + item. Also will only work under the assumption that the item can only disappear when a unit/Hero picks it up (and not killed):

EDIT:

Here a fully functional data fed system which does what you want. The core system is standard JASS but the data setup is done in fully GUI making it very easy to use (no need to touch the JASS). Will be publishing it to spell section tomorrow.
