Spawn Caps

[harkal]

Hi, I want to make a spawn cap for each of the bases in my map.
Example:
One of my farm bases spawn "farmers" i want the cap of the farm spawn to be 5 units. So you can only have a maximum of 5 units from that base.

Anyone know how to do this?

Vars: Farmer count Array 12 (Integer)
Max farmers Array 12 (Integer)

• Events:
  • Unit - A unit is trained
• Conditions:
  • Unit type of triggering unit equal to Farmer
• Actions:
  • If/Then/Else multiple functions:
    • If
      • Farmers[Player number of (owner of (Triggering unit))] equal to (Max Farmers[owner of(Triggering unit))]
    • Then
      • Player - Add (Cost of the farmer) To (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Current gold
      • Game - Display to (Player group(Owner of unit(Triggering unit))) the text: "You have too many farmers!"
      • Else
        • Set Farmers[Player number of (Owner of (triggering unit))] = Farmers[Player number of (Owner of (triggering unit))] + 1

• Farmer dies
• Events:
  • Unit - A unit dies
• Conditions:
  • Unit type of triggering unit equal to Farmer
• Actions:
  • Set Farmers[Player number of (Owner of (triggering unit))] = Farmers[Player number of (Owner of (triggering unit))] - 1

• Set farm count
  • Events:
    • Unit - A unit finishes construction
  • Conditions:
    • Unit type of (Triggering unit) Equal to (Farm)
  • Actions:
    • Set Max farmers[Player number of (Owner of (triggering unit))] = Max farmers[Player number of (Owner of (triggering unit))] + 5

• Set farm count -
  • Events:
    • Unit - A unit dies
  • Conditions:
    • Unit type of (Triggering unit) Equal to (Farm)
  • Actions:
    • Set Max farmers[Player number of (Owner of (triggering unit))] = [Player number of (Owner of (triggering unit))] - 5

Well, it isnt trained, its spawned periodically every 120 seconds.
And it can be several bases spawning the same unit, do i have to make different units for each base?

 

[baassee]

you have a ITE function which checks if the limit is reached, if not +1 an integer and spawn units, else it doesnt do anything

also when a unit dies of this certain type, set integer value -1 and the spawn will continue

Kk, so i will have to make different units for each "farm" base? or could i add them to a group or something?

 

[baassee]

if you want it specified for each and every base, index it or use hashtables
