Foot Men Frenzy Question

[Hell_Raider]

How do you make it so the units are spawned every so many seconds?

 

[Alpha 100 F]

I never built a footmen map but i think u use a trigger. It creates in relation to the race you choose a few units. this action is repeated every one or two seconds.

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

Or you can use Factory spell that summons Footman every X seconds.

 

[cloren]

its a trigger

make a trigger spawn
and
every(seconds here)
Create (how many) footmen at the (Building) facing default degrees
that my trigger for that

 

[squezza]

the trigger should look like this.

events: time - every 10 seconds of game time
conditions:
actions: unit - create 1 footman at posision of townhall facing default degrees

Using the Tinker's Factory ability, like Child_0f_Bodom suggested, is much easier to make and modify, and doesn't risk causing memory leaks on your map if you're not experienced on triggering.

Remember to set the duration of the spawns to 0 (undoes the life span timer).

 

[The_wand_mirror]

the trigger should look like this.

events: time - every 10 seconds of game time
conditions:
actions: unit - create 1 footman at posision of townhall facing default degrees

Better use something like ''create 1 (unit type variable) at position of (unit variable)''

And offcourse add the condition ''if (unit type variable) is alive''

Just use arrays for multiple players.

I dunno about that ability though, this trigger can't cause to much trouble can it?

Or you can just build units, like this:

• Training
  • Events
    • Time - Every 15.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set MyUnitGroup = (Units in (Playable map area))
    • -------- Human --------
    • Unit Group - Order MyUnitGroup to train a Footman
    • Unit Group - Order MyUnitGroup to train a Knight
    • Unit Group - Order MyUnitGroup to train a Rifleman
    • Unit Group - Order MyUnitGroup to train a Mortar Team
    • Unit Group - Order MyUnitGroup to train a Flying Machine
    • Unit Group - Order MyUnitGroup to train a Gryphon Rider
    • Unit Group - Order MyUnitGroup to train a Priest
    • Unit Group - Order MyUnitGroup to train a Sorceress
    • Unit Group - Order MyUnitGroup to train a Siege Engine
    • Unit Group - Order MyUnitGroup to train a Spell Breaker
    • Unit Group - Order MyUnitGroup to train a Dragonhawk Rider
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_MyUnitGroup)

I just dunno what will lag most, this trigger og the idea with factory...
