Creep Respawn In Region

[ELECTROLYTE]

I've created a trigger that spawns a certain number of units between two integers and of a certain unit type. Both are random when the hero enters the region. What I can't figure out how to do is, how to check if all the units spawned in that region are dead and if they are wait 60 seconds then turn the trigger back on. I'm not sure if I should use unit groups and if I do, would I have to make a bunch of unit groups? Or will just one work?

You need an on death trigger to check if all units in the group die. When they all have you start a timer for 60 seconds turning the appropiate part of the system off. Once timer expires you turn the appropiate part of the system back on.

Like this?

• Death Trigger Check
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Neutral Hostile
        • ((Triggering unit) is in CreepRespawnCheck) Equal to True
        • (All units of CreepRespawnCheck are dead) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Wait 60.00 seconds
        • Trigger - Turn on Forest Region 1 <gen>
      • Else - Actions

More like this:

• Death Trigger Check
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Neutral Hostile
        • ((Triggering unit) is in CreepRespawnCheck) Equal to True
        • (All units of CreepRespawnCheck are dead) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Timer - Start CreepWait as One-Shot timer that will expires in 60 second
      • Else - Actions

and for the timer:

• creepwait timer expires
  • Events
    • Timer - CreepWait timer expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn on 'your spawn trigger' <gen>

Edit: btw, sorry for the trigger mis-spelling, i don't have we atm

Alright that makes sense but any ideas on how to make it so the death trigger checks what region that unit group came from? The reason I ask because I'm going to have multiple spawning regions and I'm not sure how to set which region is turned on by which unit group dies :/

 

[rysnt11]

• (triggering unit) is in your region equals to true

Use boolean comparison in condition

 

[ELECTROLYTE]

I thought of that but the only problem with that is if the player pulls the unit out of the region and kills it. Is there anyway to set a variable for each unit created?

 

[MajorKaza]

Of course. Use tables, or unit gorup with 'pick' acction. Then just while spawning add them to variables or unit group.

var: wolfs[12]: unit

check = true
for i from 0 to 12 do
---if wolfs is alive then check = false

OR

var wolfs: unit_group

check = true
pick every unit in wolfs and do
---if picked unit is alive then check = false

Sorry I shouldn't of added that last part to my response about setting a variable, I already did that. My problem is I have 3 different triggers. The first one is the spawning a random unit and random number in a specific region. Then this trigger is turned off. The next trigger checks if all those units are dead then runs a timer. The last trigger functions when the timer expires and turns my first trigger back on. I'm trying to figure out how to turn the first trigger on through variables because there are going to be about 10-15 regions for each area. I'm not sure how to turn on the right trigger that the units were spawned in.

Why not make 10-15 timers? If you got more than one creep spawn region you can't do it well with only one timer, coz when timer will expire you will not know which region turnet it on. Example

1:10 - all units in CSR1 dies so timer starts.
1:15 - all units in CSR2 dies so timer starts again.
Question: when timer should end? At 2:10 or 2:15?

If you will make more timers you will avoid those colisions and all units won't be able to spawn at once, or wait until next spawn 10 minutes. (10 regions x 60 sec coz multi start)
