Derping with Respawns

[Kino]

I have attached a map bellow, in theory it should ressurect any wisps that you kill when escape is pressed.

However this is not the case, I currently cannot find the cause of the problem and hence need help.

How about you do not kill the location you want to load? Also, you should make sure that the unit does not vanish after being killed.

Thats the part where im kinda lost. After saving a point in a hashtable, is the value set or does continue to change based on the global variable?

I created a trigger(not included above) that references units that were killed and collected to be rezzed and it seems to show that the unit groups do work. Im pretty sure at this point its a point variable issue.

Same as with any other object. Imagine you storing a unit. Does there magically appear another one then?

I have already checked out my guess and as for the above test map, it is problematic. Wisps do not decay, so they are cleared up right after death time, which is set to 3 seconds. When a unit vanishes, its data is released. So you cannot load its type anymore for example.

So if I wanted to make this work, id have to get an point array and track all the points upon startup?

Noted.

You do this already. You fetch the location of all your units and save them under each unit's id. Just do not destroy the locations until you do not need them anymore.

Understood, thanks.
