Im new aswell im making my first map

what i do in the event that they become bunched i do a trigger like this

Event
Every 15.00 Seconds
Action
Create 1 Footman for player 2 at (reagon)
Unit - Make Last Created Unit Move to Point

and just use it over and over again it makes them move by there own iniative but i have a wait trigger in between all of my sreate and move actions so there in more of a line and also i would make an reagon array and make them move to random points in the place your mant to defend makes them more real

You can use "Create 10 Riflemen for Player 2 at (region)" then "Unit Group - Order last created unit group to move to (Region)"

looooooooooool, ham, use for each integer a loop... what if you need 100 units?

Ah i never thought of a loop though .. never done it

 

[l33t5up4h4x0r]

Hahaha i tried using loop for creating 500 units...laggs my new computer like hell....wats the optimum limit of active units in a map for a regular computer? I want to make total war type maps, but im scared wc3 will lag like hell....

Ok here is another way of doing things...

Events
Every 15.00 Seconds

Actions
Create 100 Riflemen for player 2 at random point in (region)

Next category
Events
A unit enters (region)
Conditions
Unit is equal to "Rifleman" (Boolean comparison I believe)
Actions
Order unit Patrol to (other region)


That pretty much sums it up from the top of my head, if I were doing this from home and not from the library, I could give you a better tutorial.
Good Luck!

Conditions
Unit-type of Entering unit is equal to "Rifleman" <-- Unit type
Owner of entering unit equal to Player 12 <-- controller of them
Actions
Order unit ATTACK MOVE to (other region)

 

[HappyTauren]

events
every 15 secs
actions
for each integer a from 1 to 100 do actions:
set l = random point in Blueregion
create 1 rifleman for player 2 at l
call RemoveLocation (udg_l)
set l = random point in Redregion
issue last created unit to attack-move to l
call RemoveLocation (udg_l)

almost perfect trigger

Wrong section. This belongs to the "world editor help zone".

 

[Dr Super Good]

events
every 15 secs
actions
for each integer a from 1 to 100 do actions:
set l = random point in Blueregion
create 1 rifleman for player 2 at l
call RemoveLocation (udg_l)
set l = random point in Redregion
issue last created unit to attack-move to l
call RemoveLocation (udg_l)

That will cause major bugs since it will spawn 100 untis every 15 seconds which wil loverload the pathing system of wc3 causing them to stand idle and not function corectly.

try
events
every 0.15 secs
actions
set l = random point in Blueregion
create 1 rifleman for player 2 at l
call RemoveLocation (udg_l)
set l = random point in Redregion
issue last created unit to attack-move to l
call RemoveLocation (udg_l)

since that will not create 100 units every 15 secs it will create 1 unit every 0.15 secs and thus it will allow that unit 0.15 secs of time to culculate pathing but anyway, WHO THE HELL NEEDS 100 UNITS EVERY 15 SECS?

With so many the game will lag in 1 minute and in 6 minutes the game will become a snail and in 15 minutes it will most lightly crash. . .

He says he is new to this forum, assumption: he came from wc3search. Your post is idiotic and spam Lunatechnick.

 

[Xarwin]

Lol this is so funny, everyone posted another trigger -,-

Sometime I was tryed to make an aos of great batles

I was tryed to put 800 humans to fight against 800 orcs, totaly unplayable.

I was tryed to put 300 humans to fight against 300 orcs, this is lagged, but can be playable with minimum grapichs, and shadows disabled.

 

[Dr Super Good]

At most 1200 should be ingame at ANY TIME and that is at a huge sized map.
Half of thoes units should do nothing and the other half should have slowish attack rate.

Well I hope this helps since im sure even 1200 units is far to much to have with any proper triggering though in normal melee it should be fine since melee is made to have up to 12 players with 100 food each.
