Respawning Neutral Hostile creeps periodically, but at their original position?

[hobbles]

How do you resurrect Neutral Hostile creeps that have been killed, but have them revive at the location they started at initialization?
Like, if somebody pulls a creep out of it's camp, then kills it, it's body would be resurrected where it died rather than it's initial spawn point.

Do I have to create a trigger for every individual creep or something? D:

 

[bounty hunter2]

Create regions around creep groups
set unitgroup1=creeps in regionx

Every 60 seconds of game
if units in regionx = dead
create the same units

Then just clear the leaks.

The best way to do this is to make a region for where you want the new one to spawn, but if you have a lot of spread-out creeps this could be a problem. One alternative, if no additional creeps are created in game, is to, at initialization, do a trigger like this:

• Set Up Vars
• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Comment - spawnLocs is an array of points large enough for each neutral hostile unit on your map. spawnUnit is an array of units large enough for each neutral hostile unit on your map. 900 or so should be far more than enough. Counter is an integer that defaults to 0.
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Neutral Hostile)) and do (actions):
    • set spawnUnit[counter] = (Picked Unit)
    • set spawnLocs[counter] = position of (Picked Unit)
    • set counter = (counter + 1)

Now you have an array set up that associates every creep in the map with its spawn location. Your respawn trigger just has to search the spawnUnit array and find the 'counter' variable associated with it, then resurrect the unit at the spawnLocs point with the counter value equal.

Omni, how exactly would you trigger the spawnUnit array search?

 

[bboy-tiger-]

Unit dies
For each integral A to counter
if then else SpawnUnit(IntegralA) = Dead
Action:
Revive or whatsoever SpawnUnit(IntegralA) at SpawnPoint(IntergralA)

There is a very easy tyrtorial about this, i think its called something like "Making a GUI respawn system" or something close to that.

There are much easier and much better systems already uploaded. I'd go digging through them if I were you.

Here's all you really need: a point array to remember their locations and an integer to give the units a custom value. When the map starts, integer = 0, using a Pick All Units trigger, you set the (picked unit)'s custom value to INTEGER, then do integer=integer+1. When a unit dies, owner being Hostile, wait X seconds, and spawn unit (dying unit) at point [custom value of (dying unit)]. Give (last created unit) custom value of (dying unit).

Wow, I got carried away. I typed the entire trigger out for you.

Thanks Vegavak! your trigger worked
