Improving spawn/combat system.

[Spartipilo]

See, I have this. It's my combat system. I made it thinking of console RPG gameplay, where all the units are in battle, and all of them are always together.

When a unit enters a 'Danger' area, it's added to that area group (Wood[0]). And units in that group have a chance to engage combat with WoodCreeps.

The thing is, this system works with groups. If there's 1 hero standing in the combat area, the rest can walk through the Woods without engaging combat, since there's already people in combat. I can't think of a way to avoid that, so players can engage combat even if there's people already in combat without abusing this.

• Unit enters Wood
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters WoodActv <gen>
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    • ((Triggering unit) is in Wood[0]) Equal to False
  • Actions
    • Set TempForce = (Player group((Triggering player)))
    • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to Wood[0]
    • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetTriggerPlayer() then
    • Custom script: call ClearTextMessages()
    • Game - Display to TempForce the text: Entering: |cfffff70...
    • Custom script: endif
    • Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_TempForce)

It adds the hero to Wood[0].

If you wan't to check how it works, you can download the Gsu'h Will RPG (Beta) in my signature, go through the first easy quest and enter the woods. (There's a desync with the first quest I'm working on, so... can only be tested with 1 player)
