I need help, I am trying to get (2) units to spawn at a region to defend it when It is attacked, and I would like them to Spawn Every (10 secs?) or so.
If you could give any help on that I'd appreciate it very much = ).

That's an easy one...


  • Example
    • Events
      • Time - Elapsed game time is 10.00 seconds
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Unit - Create 1 TestUnit for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Region)) facing Default building facing degrees
      • Unit - Create 1 TestUnit for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Region)) facing Default building facing degrees
 
Or this:

  • Example
    • Events
      • Time - Elapsed game time is 10.00 seconds
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Set TempLoc = (Center of YourRegion)
      • Unit - Create 2 TestUnit for (YourPlayer) at TempLoc facing Default building facing degrees
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)
This one doesn't leak.

edit
The units created will automatically attack units in range.

edit
It depends on their acquisition range though. (Which you can edit in the Object editor)

Well They spawn but only one time. now, I want them to spawn every (seconds) when a enemy unit is in region. And they spawn 10 secs in game not when I enter.

Oops.... Um, just change the event... There's one that says "Time - Periodic Event" Just change it to that, and your all set!
 
Oh, sorry about that.

  • Spawn
    • Events
      • Timer - Every 10.00 seconds of game time.
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Set TempLoc = (Center of YourRegion)
      • Unit - Create 2 TestUnit for (YourPlayer) at TempLoc facing Default building facing degrees
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)
Spawn should be initially off.

  • OnEnter
    • Events
      • A unit enters region
    • Conditions
      • (Owner of triggering unit) not equal to Neutral hostile
    • Actions
      • Set count = (count + 1)
      • Trigger - Turn on Spawn <gen>
      • If count == 1 then
        • Trigger - Execute Spawn <gen>
  • OnLeave
    • Events
      • A unit leaves region
    • Conditions
      • (Owner of triggering unit) not equal to Neutral hostile
    • Actions
      • Set count = count - 1
      • If count == 0 then
        • Trigger - Turn off Spawn <gen>
Something like this should work.

Ooh look at that, cool! So that will be make it so you can make spawners, but not spawn too many? I've been trying to figure THAT out :D YOU SIR, helped out TWO people, in ONE post! Talk about, two birds and one stone.
