[Trigger] plz help with spawning/pathing system

[real138]

hi i need help with my triggering for a timer/spawning system for my td that starts 15 seconds into the game that lasts 30 seconds and when it ends units spawn when all are dead next 30 second timer starts etc. it works with 1 player but if there are multiple players it only spawns at one random start.
Also the units skip 1 region they are supposed to go to.

if it would be just easier to make the system for me could you plz do it i need monsters to spawn from 8 points touching 2 other points along the way and ending at the leak zone when all monsters die it starts next timer for wave 2 and so on o and the monsters attack anything along the way
map is attached

thanks to anyone who answers and plus rep

Before I start, next time reserve this for the Requests forum, and ask you to try to make yourself a little clearer because I had problems understanding what was your problem.

First: you need a timer for each spawning point, kept by a timer array of length 8 as well. These will hold the time left for respawn.
Second: you need a unit group for each spawning point, kept by a unit group array of length 8 as well. These will hold the groups of spawned units accordingly.
Third: the triggers. Make them leakless yourself.

• 15 Second Trigger
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 15.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Don't change the numbers! It's important!
    • For each (Integer A) from 0 to 7 do (All Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Timer - Start TimerArray[(Integer A)] as a one-time timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds

Now the following triggers you will need to duplicate according to the number of timers you have. I'm currently spawning at positions of units because it's more comfortable. (Each unit is a different unit-type)
BTW, X resembles a number from 1 to 8.

• Spawn X
  • Events
    • Timer - TimerArray[X-1] expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create N Creeps for CreepPlayer at (Position of (Unit(Portal X))) facing (Random Angle)
    • Set GroupArray[X-1] = (Last Created Unit Group)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in GroupArray[X-1] and do (Unit - Order (Picked Unit) to Attack-Move to (Center of RallyPoint 8))

• Initiate Timer X
  • Events
    • A unit dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering Unit) is in GroupArray[X-1]) equal to True
    • (Number of units in GroupArray[X-1] equal to 0)
  • Actions
    • Timer - Start TimerArray[X-1] as a one-time timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds

I hope you understood everything, and next time try exploring WE by yourself and don't try too big projects.

ty ill go try that added some +rep to you

 

[real138]

o and also on the first trigger it says for each integer 1-7 shouldnt it be 1-8 if there are 8 players? much appreciated

Edit: o nevermind it goes from 0-7 my mistake
also just to make sure rallypoint8 is a variable? if so what kind i want to get this right finally

 

[real138]

followed instructions

ok i did everything you said but it doesnt work i modified some things trying to get it too work still nothing here are my triggers

• timer
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 15.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 0 to 7, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Countdown Timer - Start timerarray[(Integer A)] as a One-shot timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds

that is the first trigger it creates the timer so it works that part but it creates like 20 of them

• spawn red
  • Events
    • Time - timerarray[(1 - 1)] expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for hostile_creeps at (Position of creep spawn start (Custom Campaign) 0009 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set grouparray[(1 - 1)] = (Last created unit group)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in grouparray[(1 - 1)] and do (Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Attack-Move To (Center of (Playable map area)))

that is my spawn for red for each player after i increased the number in the grouparray by one for example (1-1) then (2-1) for blue then (3-1) for teal
seperate trigger for each
the creep spawn start is a unit that the other units spawn on

• initiate timer red
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is in grouparray[(1 - 1)]) Equal to True
    • (Number of units in grouparray[(1 - 1)]) Equal to 0
  • Actions
    • Countdown Timer - Start timerarray[(1 - 1)] as a One-shot timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds

i did the same as up there
plz help me someone

First trigger: I don't know why it creates 20 timers, the loop should fire exactly 8 times. Maybe you changed the event to "Every 15 seconds of game time" or something.

Second trigger: spawn point is up to you to decide, I did my advanced system because you said there were 8 spawn points. The simplest thing would be to apply them manually (no by theory). Also the target of the Attack-Move order is where you'd like your unit to go (and attack things on the way), keep in mind that if you order it to cast spells it'll forget the Attack-Move order.

Third trigger: works.

You could explain exactly what happens and maybe we could help you more.

Believe me, if you even add some punctuation marks to your sentence it will help us, and that will backfire to help you. But I was glad to help anyway.
