if not i was wondering if theres a way to make a spawn like that but not be so huge.

simple
make a time period event
any by another trigger, turn the first trigger on or off

or, you can run the trigger by the second trigger.

  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: test spawn has star...
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 30, do (Actions)

        • Unit - Create 1 Zombie for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of Zombie spawn 1 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: test spawn has stop...

This will generally do it.
If you want something more specific ask for it.
P.s. This will spawn 30 zombies at a rate of 1/s (for 30 seconds). Then 15 seconds of nothing and again the same.

 

[Squiggy]

Another solution would be to set the amount of spwaning units to a variable and to store the monster in another variable. So you can set for each level the appropriate values

 

[devion]

This should also work i guess:

• test spawns
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
    • spawn Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: test spawn has star...
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Wait 1.00 game-time seconds
        • Unit - Create 1 Zombie for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of Zombie spawn 1 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Wait 35.00 game-time seconds.
    • Trigger - Run test spawns <gen> (checking conditions)

If you wanna turn it off, just set spawn=false, to turn it on again set spawn=true and run the trigger.

 

[spiwn]

If you wanna turn it off, just set spawn=false, to turn it on again set spawn=true and run the trigger.

You know, there already is a turn on/off a trigger GUI action.
And until U.A.MEDIC says exactly what he wants no one will be able to make any trigger(s) that are more accurate than what I did.

Yes you made the most accurate one, i just suggested another method. Turn on/off wouldnt work on my trigger because Map initialization isnt fired more then once (thus you need to run the trigger)

 

[Rui]

This trigger is leaking. Also, using Waits inside Loops is bad.

Create a Point variable, I'll name it "YourPointVariable" in this case.

• test spawns
  • Events
  • Time - Every 45.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set YourPointVariable = Center of Zombie spawn 1 <gen>
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 15, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Zombie for Player 12 (Brown) at YourPointVariable facing Default building facing degrees
        • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(bj_lastCreatedGroup)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_YourPointVariable)

 

[Priwin]

Instead of a create action try:
Ordering an invisible,neutral passiv building to train the unit and use a second trigger to change ownership of that trained unit. That would solve the leak and you wouldnt need to use the wait action.

• give spawns
  • Ereignisse
    • Time - Every 45.00 seconds of game time
  • Bedingungen
  • Aktionen
    • For each (Integer G) from 1 to 20, do (Actions)
      • Schleifen - Aktionen
        • Unit - Order spawner[1] to train/upgrade to a Warrior

• spawning Kopieren
  • Ereignisse
    • Unit - A unit finishes training of unit
  • Bedingungen
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Gleich Spawn A
  • Aktionen
    • Unit - Change ownership of (Trained unit) to (Player(12)) and change color

You just have to give neutral passiv money and change the training time of the desired unit.

 

[spiwn]

Priwin, just no.

• Spawn turn on
  • Events
    • Time - Every 45.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn on Spawn <gen>
    • Trigger - Turn on Spawn turn off <gen>
    • Countdown Timer - Start abv as a One-shot timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds

• Spawn turn off
  • Events
    • Time - abv expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off Spawn <gen>
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

• Spawn
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set point = (Center of Rect 000 <gen>)
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at point facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_point)

This will spawn 1 unit per second for 30 seconds every 45 seconds.
Rui, you are not supposed to: call DestroyGroup(bj_lastCreatedGroup)
And your trigger will spawn 15 units instantly.
So use a wait, no matter how bad or not it is, for a GUI map a Polled wait in a loop will not make a big difference.
Or use what I made(GUI)
P.s. This is simple GUI 'system'. When you turn on the spawn turn on trigger, you should also run it so that creeps will start spawning, instead of starting after 45 seconds.

 

[Priwin]

So what is so bad about my system? I use it and i dont see any problems with it.

 

[spiwn]

It is messy.
Oh, you do not need to give the player any gold or lumber, you make the price of the unit 0.
You must have a building, you must have a player you may assign that building to(assuming that you have AI for every player except the playing/available for playing slots).
And after all when the unit gets trained, it is created by some native function.
Why shouldn't we use that native function, but make a blablabala.

 

[U.A.MEDIC]

thanks spiwn your spawn system worked out the best ty ty ty

 

[spiwn]

Cheers mate, you got my nick right. This is quite rare, anywhere.
P.s.
I am not sure why you want to spawn units for some time rather than spawning a number of units.
