Simple TD Trigger(unlimited levels)

[haxel96]

Fount out this when i was playing with WE.
Its a simple td trigger that gives your td unlimited levels but may be a little bit boring... First of all make a custom unit of footman (or whatever u like). Set it 's maximum life to 99999999, regeneration rate to 0, armor to 0 and pathing to 1. Now lets make some Variables... Make one variable Named Creep_level with type integer, one Creep_hp with type real and initial value 10.00, make one Income if u want to get gold after every level, and one Lives with type real and initial value 50 (i have 1 because i made my map Insane ) and last make one Lives_integer (isn't needed but if u want to have an leaderboard that shows lives u need it.

Now lets get to the triggering,

Thats my init,
This is the most important part

And last, the spawns..

And we're done... (want me to show the checkpoits? xD VERY LONG)

lol

^-that was VERY boring to make these checkpoints

Please give credit if you use this system

It isnt really a tutorial. You just show how to in short.

[edit] And also, isnt it a trigger tutorial? You set' it to misc.

for Send Units 1, you couldve used variables. Set Point 1-5 to as Spawn 1-5 and then change it to an integer 1-5, making it spawn 1 creep on point(Integer (A, B or Custom))

This should be VERY useful for tower defenses like "Multiplication TD"... Very good! +rep

Might come in handy, but not as long as its in here.

No bounty increase, memory leaks, no advanced HP increase, no armor increase, no additional bonusses (MS for example).
This isn't really a tutorial and I would recommend creating the units yourself when you're creating a TD, it gives a more realistic feeling to it.

u can change it so it changes unit type every 5th or something... that can make "Healing" levels or maybe boss levels

It's not very easy with your system to change the creeps (you need multiple triggers for each creep type).
Perhaps you should explain more things and add more variables (For different purposes, such as different unit types, upgrades etc).
The memory leaks should also be fixed, I've given an example below.

Also: use

• -tags instead of images (go to the trigger editor, select the trigger you wish to copy/paste, above events you can right-click on the trigger's name, select "Copy as text", then paste it here and wrap [trigger]-tags around it).
• When that is done, you can also use [hidden]-tags around the triggers, to save some space.
• [hidden=Fixed Trigger]
• [trigger]Send units 1
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempLoc = (Center of Spawn_Region)
    • Unit - Create CreepSpawn[Level] CreepType[Level] for Player 12 (Brown) at TempLoc facing 270.0 degrees
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)

[/hidden]
Now the trigger supports:

• Creep types to be chosen per level.
• Creep amount to be spawned per level.
• Leakless spawn.

The trigger isn't more complicated than yours is (though it could get more complicated with a timed spawn, but I will refrain myself from posting that here).

Checkpoints also only need 1 trigger ( + 1 setup trigger, but that's trivial since every map already has a setup trigger, you can just add the lines needed there).

well i posted this for like 3 months ago... i have learned MUCH more now including some custom scripts (call removelocation( udg_temploc ))

Then why don't you update the tutorial? ^^
A tutorial is supposed to give other people a good explanation about whatever the tutorial is about, if you've learned a lot of new things, I'm sure you can create a better system.

 

[haxel96]

yes i can but i dont have time and i lost the tutorial map-.- to lazy to create another one

 

[ap0calypse]

Okay, w/e...
Then I expect this tutorial to be sent to the graveyard soon.

Mind graveyarding all those other 3 month old tuts while your at it?

~Graveyarded. Notify me if you are willing to update it. At the moment, there are problems as listed above. And a tip for the future, you can use trigger tags instead of images. =)
