random unit spawn

[Gothok]

hi, i want a trigger, that when a unit(boss) dies, there is a chance to spawn 1 of 6 units...but how?!?

 

[Akhetaton]

it should be something like
Create Variable, let's call it K - integer
Event:
Unit X dies

Condition:
None

Action:
Set K = random number between 1 and 6.
If K = 1, then create A unit.
If K = 2, then create B unit.
etc...

edit: i made this fast for you

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - Doom Beast 0041 <gen> Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- Doom Beast is my Boss --------
    • Set Random = (Random integer number between 1 and 6)
    • If (Random Equal to 1) then do (Unit - Create 1 Peasant for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees) else do (Do nothing)
    • If (Random Equal to 2) then do (Unit - Create 1 Peon for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees) else do (Do nothing)
    • -------- And go on until 6.. --------

I think this trigger performs at a higher speed (since it doesn't use IF/THEN/ELSE Multiple Functions to check the integer)

• INIT
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set RandomUnit[1] = Footman
    • Set RandomUnit[2] = Knight
    • Set RandomUnit[3] = Rifleman
    • Set RandomUnit[4] = Mortar Team
    • Set RandomUnit[5] = Sorceress
    • Set RandomUnit[6] = Priest
    • Set ReviveLoc = (Center of (Playable map area))
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 1000000000.00 seconds the text: Mission: Kill that ...

• SRSS
  • Events
    • Unit - Blood Mage 0002 <gen> Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set DyingLoc = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 RandomUnit[(Random integer number between 1 and 6)] for (Triggering player) at DyingLoc facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Set life of (Last created unit) to 25.00%
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_DyingLoc)

There is ability named summon hydras or something like that
Check Ancient Hydra unit and you will see it...
Edit ability, it work like this:
Unit die units set in ability are spawned

Play a little with it, maybe will you find it interesting and more useful that triggers.

-Kobas- yours i didn't understood, defskull's is more complicated than Akhetaton, and his works perfect

 

[defskull]

As you can see Akhetaton's trigger, performs at a slower speed than mine, why ?
Because it uses IF/THEN/ELSE Multiple Function
The trigger, first, needs to check the current random number and decide which number is the unit related to
While mine, instant check, done.
It's up to you though to choose which one
(Have you downloaded my test map?)

 

[Gothok]

i still didn't understood you^^

 

[defskull]

I have nothing to say to you, the professional triggerer

 

[Gothok]

thanks, hehe

Open Object Manager and select abilities, hit Ctrl+F and write: "Spawn Hydra"
This spell and few others summon units when unit with ability die, if you add same unit with ability to this ability you will create infinite loop, in other words unit will be spawned as soon as it die

Play a little with it, maybe you find it useful

Anyway, trigger shown to you above is very basic, if you can't understand how it works, go check some tutorials fast, you will need skill for making good maps

 

[Gothok]

hu???

 

[-Kobas-]

Just forget about it >.>

 

[cboy123]

>.< Can you understand ENGLISH in GUI?
Use the Ability "Spawn Hydra"

 

[Warnem55]

just interested defskull, why do you use gametime 00:00 rather than map initialization?

 

[cboy123]

Map Initialization Happens only AFTER the Loading of the Map
BTW...Why?

Edit: I use Map Initialization rather than 0.00

 

[-Kobas-]

Try for example to create multiboard using Map Initialization!
Try with elapsed 00.00 game time now!
You see difference?

Thanks, kobas
