go to camp at night

[Hunters.moon]

how would i make it so that a group of creeps retreat to a campfire when day turns to night? then go back to their original positions when day comes around?

use Periodic Events

 

[Day-Elven]

You don't need periodic.
Use

• Events
  • Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to 18.00

Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to (night starts or night ends) its in 24 hour time.

lol, forgot about that. Ya'see, this is why I need a portable version of WE I can just inject directly into my brain. XD

Heres the triggers, they should work.

• Move Creeps Night
  • Events
    • Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to 18.00
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in DaytimeRegion owned by Neutral Hostile) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Move To (Center of NighttimeRegion)

• Move Creeps Morning
  • Events
    • Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to 6.00
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in NighttimeRegion owned by Neutral Hostile) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Move To (Center of DaytimeRegion)

actually they wont work. because there would be more than one area of creep u will have to do for all regions and all night regions.

 

[wolfman]

then dont be lazy and just make one trigger for each group of creeps... copy and paste triggers and just change regions

 

[Hairy]

not really u can have just 2 triggers. just saying what u have there works but it he needs to change it.

Set all the units as a variable array, add all the arrayed units into a unit group, send all units in unit group to camp, them use a custom script line to remove leaks, all loops leak just like the one previously posted.

Edit: if there isn't a region to return to, you'll need an X and Y point variable and set it to each arrayed unit.

Wouldn't the creeps start sleeping?

Also:
Time = Night time: Order units belonging to player in REGION X to move to CAMP X
Time = Day time: Order units belonging to player in (entire map) to move to point[creep#]

It's quite easy if you're using any of the standard creep respawning systems out there, since the original location of the creeps is stored in an point array using integers to track the individual creeps and their spawns.

Just change the times to right before night and right after morning

i do believe u can turn that off

 

[Hunters.moon]

its funny cause what you guys are suggesting i have tried
they run to their area before night, then run right back to their original spot and fall asleep

 

[Vegavak]

Have you raised the creep guard return distance yet?

 

[Hairy]

well

good way would be change them into a player.
