Need help with a couple of things...

[lordsmell]

Hello.

1. question about make waves of units. I would like help on making the trigger for making units come at waves of 10 units then 9 units then 8 units and so on of being a different kind of unit.

2. a: how do i get it so that when the game starts the players look at one area?
b:how do i make a hero selection kind of thing where a player double clicks the hero they want and then the hero is removed from the selection area and is teleported somewhere els?

3. I downloaded the yoda model and when i use him in the game, every time he attacks i see a corpse fall out right behind him, how do i fix it?

If you would like to see my map:

1) You need to set the unit types to variables at map init, then simply reduce a variable every wave and spawn X units, where X is the variable.

Example without WE open

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Map Initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set SpawnType[3] = Footman
    • Set SpawnType[2] = Knight
    • Set SpawnType[1] = Paladin

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Every 10 seconds of gameplay
  • Conditions
    • SpawnAmount greater than 0
  • Actions
    • Set TempLoc = Center of (YourRegion)
    • Unit - Spawn SpawnAmount SpawnType[SpawnAmount] for Some Player at TempLoc
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)

2)
a) Create a camera at the spot you want the player to look at, then use the trigger:

Trigger, yet again: WE isn't open

• Events
  • Map Initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All Players) and do
      • Loop actions
        • Camera - pan camera over YourCamera for (Picked player) over 0.00 seconds

b) Use a variable (with array) to count how many times a player selected a unit (also check if the selected unit matches the previously selected unit), if the amount = 2, then teleport the hero.

Trigger would something like this

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Selection event - a player selects a unit
  • Conditions
    • PlayerChose[Player number of (triggering player)] = false
    • Owner of (selected unit) = Player (to prevent stealing other people's heroes)
  • Actions
    • If then else - multiple conditions
      • If - Conditions
        • (Selected Unit) equal to SelectedUnit[Player number of (triggering player)]
      • Loop - actions
        • Set SelectedAmount[Player number of (triggering player)] = (SelectedAmount[Player number of (triggering player)] + 1
        • If then else - multiple actions
          • If - Conditions
            • SelectedAmount[Player number of (triggering player)] = 2
          • Loop - actions
            • Set PlayerChose[Player number of (triggering player)] = true
            • Set TempLoc = Center of StartingRegion
            • Unit - move SelectedUnit[Player number of (triggering player)] to TempLoc
            • Change owner of [Player number of (triggering player)] to (Triggering Player)
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)
          • Else - actions
      • Else - actions
        • Set SelectedUnit[Player number of (triggering player)] = (Selected Unit)
        • Set SelectedAmount[Player number of (triggering player)] = 1

Okay, this is kind of hard without WE open, but I hope you understand it xD


3) Lol, I just checked the model and it seems to have bones attached to the attack animation, the only thing I could suggest is that you open up the model with some kind of model editor and remove those bones in the animation (it isn't trigger-related, more model-related afaik).

1. The idea of apocalpyse is basicly right.
But I suggest using 2 arrays.

1. Unit-type Array with 1 unit type for every round
2. Integer Array saving the number of units being spawned each round

Then you go like:

Event: Every x seconds of gametime
Condition: ...
Actions: Spawn IntegerArray[RoundNumber] units of type UnitTypeArray[Roundnumber] at position.

That makes the whole thing easier in my opinion.


2.

i don't really like the way apocalypse is doing it :/

I suggest using a trigger like this:

Event: Player selects unit
Condition: 
PlayerChosen[Player Number of triggering player] = false (same as apoca)
Owner of selected unit = neutral passive (I suggest placing them as neutral passive)
Action:
If(PlayerChoseUnit[Player Number of triggering player] not equal Selected unit)
Then: 
Set PlayerChosenUnit[Player Number of triggering player] = selected unit
Else
Move unit, change ownership.

I don't like the counting thing Apocalypse :/ Nothing against you.


If you want me to do the selection thingi for you just send me the map

I can add some fancy grafic things

So do I actually... (I just noticed how good the unit arrays and SpawnAmount matched eachother, so I fused them out of laziness )

Not at all, I just replied to what he wanted ^^ ("where a player double clicks the hero"), but your method is indeed easier to implement.

I completely agree with this xD
(If you like to do it at least :X).
