how to make the monsters respawn where they started?

[hiphopaznkid]

this is my trigger to revive the units and the heroes

• Revive
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Dying unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Wait ((Real((Level of (Triggering unit)))) + 10.00) seconds
        • Hero - Instantly revive (Dying unit) at (Center of hero revive town <gen>), Hide revival graphics
      • Else - Actions
        • Wait 40.00 seconds
        • Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) for Player 12 (Brown) at (Position of (Dying unit)) facing Default building facing degrees

but they kept spawning where they died

Change the part where it says at (position of dying unit) to the spot where you want it to respawn.

As it is now, if its a hero, it respawns at the specified location, but it its a non-hero, it spawns exactly where it died.

Hope it helps.

for the spot i want the unit to respawn at, it has to be a region?

Use (Triggering unit) instead of (Dying unit).

Still spawning where it died

You create a system which runs at map initialization and generates position data for all units that will respawn (where they start). Later when a unit dies you acess this position data when you respawn them.

You can eithor do this using a hashtable to map the respawn position data to each unit and when the unit dyes you free that unit and add the respawn data to the new unit. Or you could use an array system to store the respawn position data and then just give the units a trigger value (integer which you can change only with triggers) a value representing the slot that the position data has to come from when they respawn.

How can i do a hashtable to map? or the other one? which one is easier?

 

[Nemitri]

Hashtables are a bit complex, I suggest you create a region and make the dying unit respawn there.

wouldnt i have to make a region for each spot where the unit is?

No, you eneumerate through all units and store a location or x and y real pair of their intitial position. Thus the system becomes dynamic (easy to make modifications to unit positions.

^I'd avoid custom values.
