[MooTiZ]

im making a map like shadowraze wars or something like that and i have stuck in something .....

well it has got 7 player slots for my friends to join and i wanted this :

what trigger shall i use to make it ONLY spawn hero's for the joined players, not all slots ......

sry for bad english and yes i am a Newbie

TnX in advance ...

• Hero Spawn
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempPlayerGroup = (All players controlled by a User player)
    • Player Group - Pick every player in TempPlayerGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set TempPoint = (Center of (Playable map area))
        • Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Picked player) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
    • Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_TempPlayerGroup)

There is a leakless version if you know how to add custom scripts/variables.
Replace Footman with the unit you are making, and replace (Center of (Playable map area)) with where they spawn.

If you don't care about an efficient trigger use this

• Hero Spawn
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players controlled by a User player) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Picked player) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees

No array, you don't have to change anything. Just name it TempPlayerGroup and click OK

 

[MooTiZ]

Aha .... Tnx

Edit: done that but it will spawn hero's for open slots too ....

 

[Porcupinez]

Sorry, I forgot a part of it.
You need to add the "Is playing" part

• Set TempPlayerGroup = (All players matching ((((Matching player) controller) Equal to User) and (((Matching player) slot status) Equal to Is playing)))

• Hero Spawn
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempPlayerGroup = (All players controlled by a Computer player)
    • Player Group - Pick every player in TempPlayerGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set TempPoint = (Center of (Playable map area))
        • Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Picked player) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
    • Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_TempPlayerGroup)

Do that if you want multiple computers (they probably won't do anything but stand there in your map)

If it's just one computer:

Set TempPoint = (their spawnpoint)
Unit - Create 1 ______ for (Computer Player's color here) at TempPoint facing default building facing degrees
Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

well want to spawn ONLY for USER controlled players ..... no spawn for bot or open slots ......

i tested that in single player to see does it spawn for open slots or not .....

and yes it spawns for open slots and i dont want that ....

anyway to solve it ?

By the way Tnx for the help

Im sorry defskull I know I work for you in the spell workshop but your making mistakes.

You should never use IntegerA. Create a Integer Variable with the value of 0 then use it as

• Actions
  • For each (Integer Variable) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions

Also you should Always null leaks.

• Custom script: set udg_TempLoc = null

 

[defskull]

Do I need to be advance for each trigger ?
Some things like IntegerA and nulling global variable proves to be quite less things to have affect the overall performance of a game.

Since this is just a simple system, those 2 matter doesn't even matter to me and doesn't even degrade the game engine, not one bit.

You can do these things if you're dealing with massive amount of data structure, but for a simple thing like this ?

Come on, guys.

 

[deathismyfriend]

heres the thing tho if that trigger fires along with some other triggers that aren't efficient and then a system fires right after that you may notice the lag. this is why every trigger should be as efficient as possible.

I'm sorry Defskull, but no matter what, I believe that all people who post aid for others should make sure they do it the best possible. If its a small system then why complain about it.

I personally feel ashamed when I give people things that I can't call "Top notch" I do the best I can do for them, no matter how big or how small. No slacking. Full Customer satisfaction xD
