How do I set timers that at which when they end, spawn a hero

[Fallen_Warlord]

How to a set a timer so when it's up a new hero spawns into the game? I need to learn how to do this for a few heros in my spawn based game, please respond with a easy explanation as I am a noob to map editor, or link screenshots.


Also, how do I make specific hero start out as a certain level?

U can also add this trigger if you want the hero revive with a certain level

• Hero - Set (Last Revived Hero)'s Level to 'Your level' , Hide Level-Ups graphics

Do you know how to declare Timer variables and create regions on the map?

There is an action under Countdown Timer - Start Timer that you can use to start your timer.

This is how you spawn a new hero when a timer expires:

• Spawn Hero
  • Events
    • Time - HeroSpawnTimer expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Lich of Unspeakable Terror for Player 4 (Purple) at (Center of The Unholy Region Of Terrible Taste <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees

This is one way of setting the initial hero level when a unit (could be a hero) of a specific type enters the map:

• Hero Level Setup
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Lich of Unspeakable Terror
  • Actions
    • Hero - Set (Triggering unit) Hero-level to 4711, Hide level-up graphics

Please note that these triggers aren't leak free nor bug free. I'm just using as simple triggering as possible to communicate the general concept.
