I need help with a trigger

[TheLordOfTerror]

:| I need help with a trigger... I want a trigger to spawn creeps every 45 seconds near or around my hero whenever my hero is present in a reigion. And when the hero leaves the reigion I want the trigger to deactivate. The problem I have is I made it where the creeps will spawn in a completely diffrent area within and the groups of creeps only spawn once

here is what I have: 2 triggers

trigger 1
dessert creeps init
Events
Unit - A unit enters sands of pain <gen>
Conditions
((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
Actions
Trigger - Run creepspawn sands <gen> (ignoring conditions)

trigger 2 (initally inactive)
creepspawn sands
Events
Time - Every 45.00 seconds of game time
Conditions
Actions
Unit - Create 2 Sand Bandit for Player 11 (Dark Green) at (Random point in sands of pain <gen>) facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees

Is there somthing I did wrong in this trigger or will it just not work this way? If it wont work at all will somone help me make a trigger that will work and fits all my requests? plz this would help alot :lol:

Seems like you had the correct idea, but used the wrong action. The "Trigger - Run creepspawn sands <gen> (ignoring conditions)" doesn't activate the other trigger, it simply runs it once. Use the "Trigger - Turn Trigger On/Off"-action. For turning it off, simply make another trigger with a "Unit - Unit leaves region"-event and the "Trigger - Turn Trigger On/Off"-action.

Get rid of the first trigger. In the second trigger, add a condition "Boolean" -> "Unit in region" -> "(sands of pain) contains (Hero) equal to true"

Damn, Los_Tacos is right, that one is even better :lol:

heres one that will work:

Event - Periodic event: every 45 seconds of game-time
Conditions - 
Actions - Unit group: Pick every unit within sands of pain <gen> and do multiple actions:
            If picked unit is a hero equal to true
               Picked unit belongs to player 11 (dark green) equal to false
            Then Create 2 Sand Bandit for player 11 (dark green) at random point within 300 of picked unit   [i think that action works, otherwise do:]
                 Create 2 Sand Bandit for player 11 (dark green) at random point within sands of pain <gen>       Else do nothing

That should work nicely
