Item Respawn

[ChronicRhyno]

I'm trying to make an inventory item respawn on the map here's what I have:

TRIGGER
Unit - Any Unit Picks Up Item (Inventory) - Medkit [45.55, 62.53]
CONDITION
General - Wait 600.0 Game Time seconds
ACTION
Unit - Create 1 Item (Inventory) - Medkit for player 0 at Medkit 1 facing (Map Center offset by (0.0, 0.0)) (No Options)

The problem is the Trigger. I want the medkit to respawn 10m after EVERY time it's picked up (I have 2 medkits in different locations).
I thought of just having it as a periodic event (every 10m of gametime have one spawn in each location), but I don't want them to pile up if they don't get used. Is there a condition that will prevent one from spawning if there is still one there?

 

[Muhahahahaaa]

items are units and if you like to know if it has been used you can check with trigger (there is a condition on integers - number of units). if you like to know if medkit 1 or medkit 2 i would add a custom value on the medkit and compare it. best thing to respawn the item would be a timer which starts after the medkit is picked up and restarts if it is still there.

Easiest way, when you pick item, create dummy unit at item location, and add expatriation timer to it.
Then detect when unit die and create item on it's location.

note: If you have more than 5 items or if you do this more than 50 times then I must suggest hashtables and timers to evade leaks and optimize script.

^ Hashtables? Are you sure you are posting in the correct game section?

Is there a condition that will prevent one from spawning if there is still one there?

Yes just use the If Then Else or simply the condition:

(Number of Living units in (Item - Medkit units in (Entire map) owned by player Any Player matching Excluded: Missile, Dead, Hidden, with at most Any Amount)) < 1

then create, Options (ignore placement requirements) - for just in case
