Creep Respawn after death

[Bloodbane7]

Hey I was wondering...When creeps die in ORPG(s) and like, and they respawn at the same spot they were placed in editor...how do you do this?

Please Note- I want it to respawn at the point it was placed in editor
I will +rep!!!

Thanks!

I only know how to things the hard way, so if this is comlicated, sorry.

Find the person you wish to make come back and set that person as a variable, I'll use peasant as an example here. And you will need a region around the area where the creep will re-spawn.

Event-Unit peasant life becomes less than 1
Condition-
Event- Create one (Unit) for (Player) at center of (respwawn unit) region
-Set peasant to last created unit.

I know It's a lot of work for every individual unit, and you might want to make it wait a Minuit before bringing him back.

 

[Bloodbane7]

hmm yeah thats little to complex- that would mean a region for every single creep on my EPIC map and a variable too, and the create a new unit works good- but the regions and variables will take ages

(BTW- Love the Avatar)

a not super effiecent trigger for every unit in the map

• A Unit Dies
• Dying Unit belongs to Player NEUTRAL_AGGRESSIVE
• wait 40.sec
• instantly revive TriggeringUnit

or

• A Unit Dies
• Dying Unit belongs to Player NEUTRAL_AGGRESSIVE
• wait 40.sec
• set Temp_Point = GetUnitLoc(GetTriggerUnit)
• Create 1 GetUnitTypeID = TriggerUnit at Temp_Point for Player NEUTRAL_AGGRESSIVE facing 0
• call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)

Here is what i use in my map,pretty small and pretty effective.Hope you find it usefull.

• Store Position
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Respawn_Time = 180.00
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) owned by Neutral Hostile) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set TempInteger = (TempInteger + 1)
        • Unit - Set the custom value of (Picked unit) to TempInteger
        • Set Creep_Point[TempInteger] = (Position of (Picked unit))

• Respawn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Neutral Hostile
    • (Custom value of (Triggering unit)) Greater than 0
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local integer i = GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit())
    • Custom script: local integer ii = GetUnitUserData(GetTriggerUnit())
    • Wait Respawn_Time game-time seconds
    • Custom script: call SetUnitUserData(CreateUnit(Player(12),i,GetLocationX(udg_Creep_Point[ii]),GetLocationY(udg_Creep_Point[ii]),270),ii)

Thanks reason3....that will work....BUT Ouch! Thats a lot of variables! Im not so good at variables... could you copy and paste those into a seperate map (So you know I wont copy your map) and post it for me?

Actually,you only use 3 variables
Respawn_Time -> Real
Temp_Integer -> Integer
Creep_Point -> Point

 

[Bloodbane7]

Wait.... so is "point" the point you want it to respawn to? Our is it just a reference for the point it is going to be respawned at?

 

[Dark_hunter4]

"point" Is the location of the unit at the start of the map, all respawns can be on that point or use it as a refrence if you use off-sets.

 

[Bloodbane7]

So...I would have to place each one of these idividually??? -.-"?

        • Unit - Set the custom value of (Picked unit) to TempInteger
        • Set Creep_Point[TempInteger] = (Position of (Picked unit))

Nope, see the "Set Tempinteger = (TempInteger + 1)" Well every time a unit is picked it adds 1 to its value, and thats only the start of the loop. The second part "Unit - Set custom value of (Picked Unit) to TempInteger" assigns a unit an array value - which will be used in the final step. Finally "Set Creep_Point[TempInteger] = (Position of (Picked Unit))" Tells what creep (value which was assigned to TempInteger) has what point.

This trigger leaks once, not important (only 4-8 bytes), but its pretty easy to fix. In the actions, right before the For Group add this

• Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true

No,no.It's pretty simple to use.Just do what i told you.Create those 3 variables,copy and paste my trigger into your map and it will work.Each Neutral Hostile unit will be respawned after death to the point you placed it.
You can change this line to modify the time before they respawn again.

• Set Respawn_Time = 180.00

In my map i want them to be respawned every 180 seconds,you can change this to whatever you want.

Reaper2008 i can't see the leak,could you be more specific?

 

[Bloodbane7]

ok...ok may sound noobish..but how do I copy a trigger outside of World Editor? I got the 3 variables - do I keep them all at a none/zero value?

You can't copy the whole trigger this is impossible,but its pretty easy to make it.I suggest you just copy the Custom Script parts.Just left click here drag all of the text and then press CTRL+C.Open your map create a new Custom Script and press CTRL+V.

 

[Bloodbane7]

Ok ok..I got the trigger without your last responce....BUT the last custom script gives me an error.... line 124- attempt to index a non-arry variable

NOTE I copied and pasted your custom script....
although there is one part of the trigger I didn't understand-

Set creep_point[tempinterger]
I can get the creep_point variable...but not the [tempinterger] part

dont know if this affects the script

Well its for the custom text script...nevermind just use it as is.
And about your error...simply the Creep_Point variable is an array.Just select the Creep_Point variable in your Variable Editor and click in the array box,number 1.

 

[Bloodbane7]

Holy cow, errors gone brb gunna test it!

 

[reason 3]

OK,waiting for reply

 

[Bloodbane7]

Man id hug you but that would be a little akward (and im talking over the internet...sooo) dude your the best you always respond to my questions!

+rep for all

oh and one quick question- I just change the Set Repawn Time to what I want right? doesnt affect the trigger at all?

 

[reason 3]

Yeah,exactly.You can just change it to whatever you want
And no problem,i like to help people
