[mogulkhan1Axe]

So i got this open world kinda rpg map im working on i need this one thing and i need to know the best way to do it.

the easiest is something like this.

• Event: time every 60 seconds
• condition: number of unit in camp(region) less than or equal to ( how many creeps in camp)
• Action: Create creeps

yea but i need it to be at the same time all 3 creeps in camp(example) and i would need to store them all and their positions and all screw it i guess they wont respawn
anyways thanks for the reply

You can use an unit indexer, or hashtable.

When the game starts or a "reviveable unit" enters the world, store the x/y -coordinates as reals in x[index] and y[index] (reals), or hashtable. (Hashtable -> Use HanldeId of unit as parent key.)

When the unit dies, you just wait the needed duration and then create a new unit with same type at x/y, which you can read out of x/y[unit-index], or of hashtable with HandleId again.

Or you browse though hive/google, and you for sure will find a finished respawn system somewhere.

I'd try something like this.
(triggers are not tested)

• init
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Add Footman 0000 <gen> to creep_camps[1]
    • Set total_camps = 1
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set temp = (temp + 1)
        • Unit - Set the custom value of (Picked unit) to temp
        • Set respawn_loc[temp] = (Position of (Picked unit))

• enter
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set temp = (temp + 1)
    • Unit - Set the custom value of (Triggering unit) to temp
    • Set respawn_loc[temp] = (Position of (Triggering unit))

• respawn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to total_camps, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Triggering unit) is in creep_camps[(Integer A)]) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (All units of creep_camps[(Integer A)] are dead) Equal to True
              • Then - Actions
                • Unit Group - Pick every unit in creep_camps[(Integer A)] and do (Actions)
                  • Loop - Actions
                    • Custom script: local unit udg_u = GetEnumUnit()
                    • Wait 60.00 seconds
                    • Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of u) for (Owner of u) at respawn_loc[(Custom value of u)] facing Default building facing degrees
              • Else - Actions
          • Else - Actions

Do Waits work in Loops nowadays?

 

[Chaosy]

Yeah if used correctly they should. But they are still inaccurate.

 

[IcemanBo]

If a unit indexer will ever be used, the system will mixup custom values, Chaosy.

And you always loop through all indices, if a unit dies. That can be avoided.

That all units of a "camp" must be dead might be a feature, but it's not what was asked for.

Both If-conditions might be combined in the loop.

Local units should be nulled.

 

[Chaosy]

Stop being a perfectionist

keep it simple.

 

[deathismyfriend]

Integer A / B should never be used. Make your own custom integer and use that for your looping instead. This is more efficient and faster than integer A / B.

 

[mogulkhan1Axe]

complicated stuff i tell you.
well is it good to make billion of unit groups and store each unit from that camp into 1 group and when they are all dead index them and revive(spawn exact same unit)
But wouldnt that cause lags or something??

Integer A / B should never be used. Make your own custom integer and use that for your looping instead. This is more efficient and faster than integer A / B.

Too bad I am too lazy to create a variable when doing stuff quickly.

OT:

I just noticed the trigger shown is buggy to say the least it spawns one unit at a time. The wait action should be moved slightly, but not a big deal.

That was so the Topic owner didn't make the mistake lol. I know you don't use that. Just thought I should mention it since you didn't. Also you can make it easy when you paste your triggers here use find and replace to change it to a tempInteger.

guys i know that already
