Respawning creeps?

[Spo]

How can you make like a cycle of creeps respawn when killed.And how do you make them just spawn after a time?

 

[ap0calypse]

The best idea would be to set up a table that memorises the position of the creeps at map init, when the creep dies, revive him at the point where he initially started (this is to avoid creeps ganging, or creeps being at places where they shouldn't be).

Erm... I don't really know how to explain this in newb-terms.

You can also just do the unoriginal, buggy "A unit dies - wait X seconds, create 1 unit type of triggering unit at position of triggering unit".
But a map containing that trigger has a high chance of getting rejected ^^

• creep respawn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Neutral Hostile
  • Actions
    • Wait 60.00 seconds
    • Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees

a very, very, very simple trigger, and sure it can leak or not MUI
if you not want it, here another:

• creep respawn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Neutral Hostile
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local unit killedunit
    • Custom script: local integer respwnedTime
    • Custom script: set killedunit = GetTriggerUnit()
    • Custom script: set respwnedTime = 60
    • Custom script: call PolledWait(respwnedTime)
    • Custom script: call CreateNUnitsAtLoc( 1, GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit()), GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()), GetUnitLoc(GetTriggerUnit()), GetUnitFacing(GetTriggerUnit()) )

I have this trigger:

• Events
• Time - Elapsed Game Time 0.00 Seconds
• Conditions
• Actions
• Wait 5.00 Seconds
• Unit - Create Banshee For Neutral Hostille at (Center of hero spawn <gen>) facing default building faceing degrees

But it only does it one time

 

[Kercyn]

Because the elapsed time happens once. Do as The-Rave suggests, after fixing the leaks of course ^^

 

[Spo]

how do you fix it?

 

[Spo]

NVM I figured it out!

Lol at your first answer... (though I'm serious: a map with that trigger will probably get rejected xD)

It's somehow what I meant, though I like a timer-system (with a real) a lot more than the polled wait.
It's also easier to edit the time needed to respawn, which doesn't necessarily have to be the same for each creep and it's very precise.
Also, custom value van be changed with another variable (it's a good option, but it may have been used for something else).
And when you have time, fix the unit group leak ^^

But it's a good trigger, probably the best option for Spo.
