Need help in a trigger to create units!!!!

[Shiroaisu]

Hi...

basically what i want to do is to create 20 units in different random points of the map, but when i do this:

• Unit - Create 20 Goblin Land Mine for Player 4 (Purple) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees

This creates 20 mines only at 1 random position, so i changed the trigger:

• Unit - Create 1 Goblin Land Mine for Player 4 (Purple) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
• Unit - Create 1 Goblin Land Mine for Player 4 (Purple) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
• Unit - Create 1 Goblin Land Mine for Player 4 (Purple) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
• Unit - Create 1 Goblin Land Mine for Player 4 (Purple) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
• Unit - Create 1 Goblin Land Mine for Player 4 (Purple) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
• Unit - Create 1 Goblin Land Mine for Player 4 (Purple) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
• Unit - Create 1 Goblin Land Mine for Player 4 (Purple) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
• Unit - Create 1 Goblin Land Mine for Player 4 (Purple) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
• Unit - Create 1 Goblin Land Mine for Player 4 (Purple) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
• Unit - Create 1 Goblin Land Mine for Player 4 (Purple) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
• Unit - Create 1 Goblin Land Mine for Player 4 (Purple) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
• Unit - Create 1 Goblin Land Mine for Player 4 (Purple) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
• Unit - Create 1 Goblin Land Mine for Player 4 (Purple) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
• Unit - Create 1 Goblin Land Mine for Player 4 (Purple) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
• Unit - Create 1 Goblin Land Mine for Player 4 (Purple) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
• Unit - Create 1 Goblin Land Mine for Player 4 (Purple) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
• Unit - Create 1 Goblin Land Mine for Player 4 (Purple) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
• Unit - Create 1 Goblin Land Mine for Player 4 (Purple) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
• Unit - Create 1 Goblin Land Mine for Player 4 (Purple) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
• Unit - Create 1 Goblin Land Mine for Player 4 (Purple) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees

this seems a very ridiculous thing and i wanted to know how to do it in a better way

Help pls...

What you'll want to do is create a loop that loops up to 20 times. Probably For Each Integer A, from 1 to 20, do actions. Place that creation trigger within the loop.

hmm ok i got how it works, but can you explain to me why do we have for each integer A and B?? and those 2 mean?

Well if you have a hard time doing it a good way whats the problem with doing it the "ridiculous" way?

You have integer A and integer B because you may want to have a loop inside of a loop.

Using

• For every (Integer A) from 1 to 6
  • Loop
    • For every (Integer A) from 1 to 6
      • Loop
        • *do your things*

Would not work too well. So you need to use integer B for the other.

And your trigger:

• For every (Integer A) from 1 to 20
  • Loop
    • Set Temp_Loc_1 = (Random point in (Playable map area))
    • Unit - Create 1 *unit* at Temp_Loc_1 facing...
    • call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Loc_1)

Ok tks everyone...

SOLVED

btw:

Well if you have a hard time doing it a good way whats the problem with doing it the "ridiculous" way?

... the ridiculous way its WAY harder..

So that he learns something...

Although the "ridiculous" way is faster, it's uglier, and harder to change (must change 20 times). Knowing about loops is fundamental anyway.
