Limit spawn system

[Moderator]

Bribe: There is a lot of copy & paste necessary here. I prefer the approach Blizzard used in WarChasers to this one, to be honest.

Though it works, it's really simple and requires a lot of bruteforce copy & paste to get working. Approved with minimal rating. 2/5.

I think it will be better if you use every 0.03 s for the looping trigger... Because I see that most of people uses 0.03 s for all quick looping trigger..

Leak :

• Set LSS_GROUP = (Units in LSS_Region[LSS_INT] matching (((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to LSS_Type[LSS_INT]) and (((Owner of (Matching unit)) Equal to LSS_Player[LSS_INT]) and (((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True))))

Bad idea :

• Unit - Remove (Last created unit) from the game

I've fix it.......

Most loop triggers use 0.03 as a period. But i personally think that even 0.10 will do well. Nice system!

Why does spawn system require an ingame-screenshot?

Yeah, I'm agree with you.. Actually this is a system, not a spell.. Maybe Bribe need a lot of sleeps/rests.. Maybe he has some unfinished projects so he spends all nights and days to finish his projects.. Without rest.. Just kidd Bribe..

I think my system needn't an ingame-screenshot @@

I must say that I could find a use for this ;p
Skimming the code...

• Set LSS_LOOP = 0.01
• Trigger - Add to LSS LOOP <gen> the event (Time - Every LSS_LOOP seconds of game time)

You don't need this, people can set it themselves.
0.01 is way too fast anyway, this system easily runs at every 1 seconds
Other than that this is a very neat system.

this is an optional Varrible and everyone can easily change it

I would do this kind of system with Unit dies event and with some timer(s), not with a periodic trigger.

The trigger should be turned off when there's no spawning needed. It also keeps increasing LSS_TimeLoop[index] even if SpawnOn[index] is false.

 

[Kazeon]

Why does spawn system require an ingame-screenshot?

I love your signature.. LOLS..

Btw, congrats for btdonal for the approval..

You're welcome

what happens if you move the unit from the region it will just create another one that sucks...
