Random spawn

[Disasterpiece512]

Does anyone have any idea how to make a random spawn?

In a boss fight there are 6 possible units which may spawn along with him, but I want only 4 of them which will be randomly selected from the 6 to spawn. Anyone have any idea how to do this?

I'm not quite sure what you meant, but if it is what I believe then you should be able to use a simple trigger, no?

• Events
• Unit - Yourboss <gen> Takes damage
• Conditions
• Actions
• Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Random unit from YourBossAddGroup)) for Neutral Hostile at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing 90.00 degrees
• Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Random unit from YourBossAddGroup)) for Neutral Hostile at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing 90.00 degrees
• Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Random unit from YourBossAddGroup)) for Neutral Hostile at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing 90.00 degrees
• Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Random unit from YourBossAddGroup)) for Neutral Hostile at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing 90.00 degrees

That would give you 4 random units from the 6 units you added to the "YourBossAddGroup". But, I don't know if you want all 4 to be different, or if some can be of same type. And that's why my simple trigger might not work In worst case: You can use this trigger 'till someone more skilled tells you a lot better one

(and sorry for the sucky TRIGGER wraping around text, imma newbie on hives forums )
Good luck with your boss!

do like this do a integer variable set it 20 then you do event every 20 seconds of game

and then if then else. Random number between 1-100 (Integer)

then you do the same but the if then else should be on the else i hope you know what i mean. I guess that works.
Don't forget to turn off the trigger if its true on the then action.

what? this doesn't even make sense -

You have to do a UNIT TYPE variable array. NOT INTEGER variable! My goodness. And not 20! Six! And why an if ?? Did you even read the post?

You just need two triggers for this:

• Init
  • Events
    • Event - Map Initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Type[1] = Footman
    • Set Type[2] = Grunt
    • Set Type[3] = Tauren
    • Set Type[4] = Raider
    • Set Type[5] = Dragonhawk
    • Set Type[6] = Frost Wyrm

• Make4
  • Events
    • -------- For events do whatever works for you --------
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each Integer A from 0 - 3, do Loop - Actions
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Point = Position of Boss
        • Unit - Create 1 Type[(Math - Random Integer between 1 and 6)] for Player at (Point)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_Point )

You know everyone codes different ways... Plz don't insult my coding..

Bribe's trigger can generate two units of the same type as far as I can tell.

This creates only one unit of every type:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Unit_Type_Array[0] = Paladin
    • Set Unit_Type_Array[1] = Archmage
    • Set Unit_Type_Array[2] = Mountain King
    • Set Unit_Type_Array[3] = Blood Mage
    • Set Unit_Type_Array[4] = Blademaster
    • Set Unit_Type_Array[5] = Far Seer

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 0 to 5, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Temp_Loc_1 = (Random point in Region 000 <gen>)
        • Unit - Create 1 Unit_Type_Array[(Integer A)] for Player 1 (Red) at Temp_Loc_1 facing Default building facing degrees
        • Unit Group - Add (Last created unit) to Temp_Group_1
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Loc_1)
    • For each (Integer B) from 1 to 2, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Remove (Random unit from Temp_Group_1) from the game
    • Unit Group - Remove all units from Temp_Group_1

Do the above.

Also add a

• Set x = *your number*

(real)

and use

• For each (Integer A) from 0 to x, do (Actions)

if you want to modify the amount of the creeps being spawned easily.
