1. Look for Demon Gate destructable and Archway doodad
2. There is GUI function Revive Hero and Move Unit Instantly
3. Event is unit aquires item (when item is given to altar)
4. Unit with item enters region

For tunnels use regions and tunnel doodads. (yes, triggers )

Here's my revival trigger.
Very basic, very simple.
This only works for non-enemy units.

Revive
Events
Unit - A unit Dies
Conditions
((Dying unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
Actions
Wait 15.00 seconds
Hero - Instantly revive (Dying unit) at (Center of Hero Spawn And Respawn <gen>), Show revival graphics


"Center of hero Spawn And Respawn" - Region where the heroes will respawn.

More advanced one with gold loss. (Currently you lose all gold, not 5% -_-)

Hero Revival
Events
Unit - A unit Dies
Conditions
(Owner of (Dying unit)) Not equal to Player 12 (Brown)
((Dying unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
Actions
Set goldlost = (1 / 20)
Player - Set (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Current gold to (((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Current gold) x goldlost)
Wait 30.00 seconds
Hero - Instantly revive (Dying unit) at (Center of Fountains and Shop <gen>), Hide revival graphics

how to revive a different hero in a specific place when a specific hero dies.

If you want a different hero to respawn when you lose your hero, the trigger would have to be a little more complex. When you say different hero, do you mean, for example, if an archer dies a mage respawns? Or just a new archer?

If you want the other way I believe there are conditions to check what unit-type died, and then you can use that to cause different sets of actions to happen depending on the dead unit-type. I.E. If unit-type of dying unit is Archmage then spawn archer else spawn Archmage. (Or Do Nothing, and then have a second trigger check for a second unit type)

Hope this helps, not sure what you are looking to make otherwise I'd type out an indepth trigger for ya

 

[The Critic]

yea EG a archer dies, mage respawns, in a specific area.

can you plz list the triggers i need 2 use.

sorry if this bothers all of you, i know im being a pain in the ass. ill include u guyz in da credits

put the way gates on position you want...


event-unit enters with in 0.01 range of way gates
move entering unit instantly <CLOSE TO another way gates>

if it is on way gates it makes lag........

For the revive (random) set all the heros to a unit array when they die, and modify:

• Hero - Instantly revive (Dying unit) at (Center of Hero Spawn And Respawn <gen>), Show revival graphics

to:

• Set Integer = Random Number Between 1 and 15
• Hero - Instantly revive HeroArray[Integer] at (Center of Hero Spawn And Respawn <gen>), Show revival graphics

• Hero - Instantly revive HeroArray[Integer] at (Center of Hero Spawn And Respawn <gen>), Show revival graphics

There you go! I couldn't think of how to do it

Basically, you'd then have to set the HeroArray values 1-15 to different heroes and the Trigger will randomly assign a new hero... except there would already have to be a hero there, so I don't think "revive" is the one you're looking for...

Perhaps you should set the trigger to save the level of the hero that died, then create a hero of the same level using teh random 1-15.

However!

Arrays start from 0, not 1... so the trigger should actually say "revive HeroArray[Integer-1]" because there is no HeroArray[15] (I imagine this might cause an error), and HeroArray[0] would never be used (which would cause Leaking I believe)

OMG thanks...
i know this bothers u. can sumone plz explain no.3
ive got no.4 handeld

Do you have 1 item that can be brought to any altar? or does each hero have his own item?

 

[The Critic]

1 item that a specific hero needs (palyer 12) and has to bring it to a specific building (altar) owned by player 12 who needs the item

 

[drowelf]

first you're gonna want to set a region around the altar just big enough that the altar and another unit can fit in it. You'd also have to set the hero in a unit variable, and then do this:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit enters Region 000 <gen>
• Conditions
  • And - All (Conditions) are true
    • Conditions
      • (Owner of (Entering unit)) Equal to Player 12 (Brown)
      • (Item-type of (Item carried by (Entering unit) of type Required Item)) Equal to Required Item
• Actions
  • Hero - Instantly revive HeroVar at (Center of (Playable map area)), Hide revival graphics

That will only work for the one hero though, I can make it work for 12 but it's more work so you have to let me know.

If it doesn't work let me know and I'll fiddle with it.

Reminders: The hero variable must be defined!

EDIT: sorry for the delay, had a big game night, looked at the thread, and forgot to come back to it cause it wasn't in my UserCP xD

 

[The Critic]
