[Trigger] *HELP* Need help creating items in a region when less than "X" exist in that region

[Archangel_Tidusx]

Here is exactly what I want to do

Event - Every 30 seconds
Action(s)

If [number of items in region > 4]
Then [Create an item]
Else [do nothing]

I didnt wrap this in trigger code because there aren't exact triggers that deal with items in regions.
Any suggestions?
I have to do this with 67 regions so try and make it short please.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR THE HELP!

Create an integer variable.

Then:

• Items
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set SomeInt = 0
    • Item - Pick every item in (Playable map area) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set SomeInt = (SomeInt + 1)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • SomeInt Greater than or equal to 4
      • Then - Actions
      • Else - Actions

Does that help?

Lol thanks, i cant believe i didnt think of that. Oooh well guess i better get started. THanks

No need to spam actions, use a loop like this.

Variables used:

Item_Regions - Region variable, arrayed.
Integer - Integer variable, not arrayed, initial value 0.
Point - Point variable, not arrayed.

• Init
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Item_Regions[1] = Region1
    • Set Item_Regions[2] = Regiog2
    • Set Item_Regions[3] = Region3
    • Set Item_Regions[4] = Region4
    • Set Item_Regions[5] = Region5
    • Set Item_Regions[6] = Region6
    • continue this with all your item regions

• Looping
  • Events
    • Time - Every 30.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Item - Pick every item in Item_Regions[(Integer A)] and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Set Integer = (Integer + 1)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Integer Greater than or equal to 4
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Point = (Random point in Item_Regions[(Integer A)])
            • Item - Create Tome of Experience at Point
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_Point )
          • Else - Actions

I'm not sure how these "call functions" work though, and I need some regions to be able to have more or less of an item.

If a region has less than 4 items, create an item
If not, Do nothing

(another region containing more items than the previous region)

If a region has less than 5 items, create an item
If not, Do nothing

Didn't get this part.

Every next region can hold +1 items ? If yes, instead of 4 in the condition, put (3 + [Integer A]) like this every region will bring a +1.

Well im off to sleep, good night.

Good night and thank you also for the help.

Oh and is it really necessary to have the "Point"?
If not I won't have to even use the call function.

It could just be a random point in the region without the required amount of items. But if I did need it, wouldnt it have to be arrayed? Because if it wasn't, wouldnt it be like setting a single variable (Point) to 67 different regions?

I dont understand your question, can you rephrase that?

Yes, and no.

You need it to eliminate the memory leak that is there. It works non-arrayed because it is overwritten each time you use it after you take care of one region and used for the next one. There should be no confusion.
