1. I use a Unit-Type array variable to store all the unit types. Then, use an integer variable to keep track of which level and use that as the index of the array.

2. There should be a timer command like set time remaining. Just set it to one or so.

3. I don't really understand what's going on here. What have you done to the model, exactly?

    • Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for Player 1 (Red) emitting Visibility across (Playable map area)

5. I usually use a trigger, though you can use the build-in bounty system. To change the amount given, go into the unit itself in the Object Editor and locate the Stats - Gold Bounty Awarded fields. Works the same way as attack damage.

so what would the trigger look like?

 

[Ghan_04]

Here's one I use.
You can ignore most of it, but look at the Create 1 Creeps[Level]... part. Creeps is a Unit-Type array variable. Level is an integer variable.
See the trigger after for what I do to store the creeps.

what is creepsize

 

[Ghan_04]

> what is creepsize

No need to worry about that.
I don't even remember what it is.

 

[lordsmell]

this is what my trigger looks like

Untitled Trigger 005
Events
Time - Nextlevel expires
Conditions
Actions
Set enemylevel = (enemylevel + 1)
Unit - Create 1 unittype[enemylevel] for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of Region 001 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
Unit Group - Order (Last created unit group) to Attack-Move To (Center of (Playable map area))
Unit - Create 1 unittype[enemylevel] for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of Region 002 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
Unit Group - Order (Last created unit group) to Attack-Move To (Center of (Playable map area))
Unit - Create 1 unittype[enemylevel] for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of Region 002 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
Unit Group - Order (Last created unit group) to Attack-Move To (Center of (Playable map area))
Set enemies = (Units in Region 001 <gen>)
Set enemies = (Units in Region 002 <gen>)
Set enemies = (Units in Region 003 <gen>)


and

1. Use Trigger tags.

2. This is not needed:

• Set enemies = (Units in Region 001 <gen>)
• Set enemies = (Units in Region 002 <gen>)
• Set enemies = (Units in Region 003 <gen>)

All you need now is a trigger to start the timer....

but dont i need those so when the units spawn at these certain points because im make like these 3 spots wich are caves and theres regions for where they spawn so dont i need those?

 

[Ghan_04]

> dont i need those so when the units spawn at these certain points because im make like these 3 spots wich are caves and theres regions for where they spawn so dont i need those?

No.
You're not doing anything with them, besides, you're overwriting that variable each time.

See here:

• Unit - Create 1 unittype[enemylevel] for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of Region 001 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees

That takes care of the position. Though, it does leak, but I would recommend waiting a bit before reading leak tutorials.

never mind i got to work yes!!! dude thank you!!!!!!!!! i love you but i dont really love you just one more question how do i combine different kind of unit types and where do i put in something that says like wave 2 then its over then wave 3 how do i make it say that? umm also how do i make 2 teams? because on the loading screen and when i try to host it, it has a open spot its suppose to be closed for computer
