[Trigger] Make only 5 units on a .10 periodic trigger.

[Nackel]

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees

My trigger has this basis for creating the units in it. But i can't seem to limit the amount of units created, for instance:

The trigger is turned on, and only turns off once a certain unit has died. But it SHOULD create 1 unit for every enemy unit within a 350 range, a max of 5 units total. I can get it to create 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5.. but once the trigger periodically goes again, it creates said units AGAIN.

Is there a way to make it create the units only once, or check if there is a difference in units, and create as much units as needed? Having something else turn the trigger off isn't an option. This is really frustrating, and it's really hot where i live!

        • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (blah blah) facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees

    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is in RespawnGroup) Equal to True

    • Unit Group - Remove (Triggering unit) from RespawnGroup

For the first trigger, you can also create an unit group that contains all hostile units withing range of certain point, and use the number of units in that group as a condition to limit the number of units created.

Before you begin using timers learn to use the other events.
Use A unit die
Owner of the dying unit is player 1 (red) equal to true
Unit - Create 1 at position of dying unit

Too much cpu consuming
Do it like this

• Jepaa
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.10 sec of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (IntegerVariable) Less than 5
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (blah blah) facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
        • Set Integer Variable = ((Integer Variable) +1)
        • Unit Group - Add (Last created unit) to RespawnGroup
      • Else - Actions

• Dies
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is in RespawnGroup) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Remove (Triggering unit) from RespawnGroup
    • Set Integer Variable = ((Integer Variable) -1)

I'm sorry i used such a simple trigger to depict my problem, but rediculing me for it wasn't neccessary.

I know how to use "the other events", please only answer the question, and don't assume i have no knowledge of related content. Thanks.
