Make runes spawn in region in middle of map.

[Dinodin]

I have made 5 different runes in my map and I want them to start spawning in middle of map after 5 minutes of gameplay. I also want only 1 rune to be spawned in the region at a time like in Dota. If a Hero uses the rune then I want it to wait 1 minute and then create a new rune at a random spot in the region. I have made 1 of the runes to be more rare then the rest of them so it should have less chance to be spawned than the rest 4 runes. I really have no idéa how to make this so I hope someone can help...

It's not too complicated once you get the hang of Arrays, For Loops, and Timers:

• Setup First Rune
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- CUSTOMIZE: --------
    • -------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------
    • Set VariableSet Rune_Total_Types = 5
    • -------- --------
    • Set VariableSet Rune_Types[1] = Rune of Greater Healing
    • Set VariableSet Rune_Types[2] = Rune of Greater Mana
    • Set VariableSet Rune_Types[3] = Rune of Dispel Magic
    • Set VariableSet Rune_Types[4] = Rune of Spirit Link
    • Set VariableSet Rune_Types[5] = Rune of the Watcher
    • -------- --------
    • -------- Make sure that the chances add up to 100: --------
    • Set VariableSet Rune_Chance[1] = 25
    • Set VariableSet Rune_Chance[2] = 25
    • Set VariableSet Rune_Chance[3] = 25
    • Set VariableSet Rune_Chance[4] = 20
    • Set VariableSet Rune_Chance[5] = 5
    • -------- --------
    • Set VariableSet Rune_Point = (Center of (Playable map area))
    • -------- --------
    • -------- Create the first rune: --------
    • Countdown Timer - Start Rune_Timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 300.00 seconds
    • -------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------
    • -------- --------
    • -------- Do NOT change: --------
    • For each (Integer Rune_Index) from 2 to Rune_Total_Types, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set VariableSet Rune_Chance[Rune_Index] = (Rune_Chance[Rune_Index] + Rune_Chance[(Rune_Index - 1)])

I made the first 3 runes have a 25% chance to spawn, the 4th rune has a 20% chance to spawn, and the 5th rune has a 5% chance to spawn.

• Setup Next Rune
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-class of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Powerup
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer Rune_Index) from 1 to Rune_Total_Types, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Rune_Types[Rune_Index]
          • Then - Actions
            • -------- Create another rune: --------
            • Countdown Timer - Start Rune_Timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 60.00 seconds
            • Custom script: exitwhen true
          • Else - Actions

• Spawn Rune
  • Events
    • Time - Rune_Timer expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet Rune_Roll = (Random integer number between 1 and 100)
    • -------- --------
    • For each (Integer Rune_Index) from 1 to Rune_Total_Types, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Rune_Roll Greater than Rune_Chance[(Rune_Index - 1)]
            • Rune_Roll Less than or equal to Rune_Chance[Rune_Index]
          • Then - Actions
            • Item - Create Rune_Types[Rune_Index] at Rune_Point
            • Custom script: exitwhen true
          • Else - Actions

You can change Rune_Point to be a Random point in your region:

• Item - Create Rune_Types[Rune_Index] at (Random point in Region...)

Oh thank you so much! I thought it was more complicated than that.
