Random Unit and Random Spawn Help

[cooperlsxl]

I am trying to get one out of three units to spawn in one out of three regions. It sounds really simple but I cant seem to get a sequence of triggers to work. I originally approached this with two random integers which then turned into a long work of triggers and didn't work out in the end.
( Im not looking for someone to hand me the work but to lead me in the direction)
Help is appreciated and I will continue to try myself.

I think you´ll need a group variable and a region array. Create a trigger which runs at map initialation and and add the three units into that unit group. Next you have to initialize the regions.

Initialization

• Events
  • Map initialization
• Conditions
  • {Not needed}
• Actions
  • Group - Add (SomeUnit1) to (YourGroup)
  • Group - Add (SomeUnit2) to (YourGroup)
  • Group - Add (SomeUnit3) to (YourGroup)
  • Set SomeRectArray[1] = FirstRect
  • Set SomeRectArray[2] = SecondRect
  • Set SomeRectArray[3] = ThirdRect

And If you want to spawn the unit you do it like this (you´ll need an location variable to prevent a location leak) :

Spawn

• Events
  • {Some Event}
• Conditions
  • {Some Conditions}
• Actions
  • Set ANTI_LEAK_LOC = CenterOfRegion(SomeArrayRect[(RandomInteger(1 to 3)])
  • Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Random unit from (YourGroup))) for (SomePlayer) at ANTI_LEAK_LOC facing (SomeDegrees) degrees
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_ANTI_LEAK_LOC)

That should do it.

Thats brilliant thanks alot. But there are problems.

I cant add the unit type to the group.

• Initial Spawn
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to UnitGroupRange

well ofc you can´t add unit types to a unit group.
i thought you had placed the 3 units on the map already. If not then just place them somewhere on the map and then choose them. If say now i don´t want those units on the map then just add this to the initilation part (after the region setup).

Hiding the units

• Group - Pick every unit in (YourGroup) and do (Actions)
  • ForGroup - Actions
    • Unit - Hide (Picked unit)
    • Unit - Disable supply usage for (Picked unit)

I messed up. I cant find Groups. all i can find is unit groups. where is the action group - add!

It creates new ones. See this:

Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Random unit from (YourGroup))) for (SomePlayer) at ANTI_LEAK_LOC facing (SomeDegrees) degrees

I messed up. I have lazy ass brain or am dyslexic loool. ( my brain is lazy as hell when im outta school) where can i find the ACTION Group - add. a

It's not Group - Add, it should be Unit Group - Add

 

[Thanathos]

Yeah it should or not ? he said he wanted to spawn units so doesen´t that mean we need new units ?
Sorry for the wrong GUI syntax i don´t have an english we so i have to translate it myself...
