Spawn help

[Celaquil]

Hey guys, i wanna make a spawn trigger that works this way:

You are able to build 1 Command Post, when built there will spawn units on it every 60 second.

I dont know how to make it, and i dont care how easy or hard it is, i only ask if someone can be as kind as to show me the trigger?

2 triggers:

• command post created
• Events
  • Unit - a Unit finishes construction
• Conditions
  • triggering Unit is a command post
  • owner of triggering unit equal to player1
• Actions
  • Trigger - turn on <Unit spawn>
  • set triggering unit = player1commandpost

trigger 2, initially off!

• Unit spawn
• Events
  • Time - every 60 seconds of the game
• Actions
  • set temppoint = position of player1commandpost
  • Unit - create 1 Unit at player1commandpost
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

do this for every player

Unit - a Unit finishes construction
Conditions
triggering Unit is a command post

It's going to reference to the builder of the command post, isn't it?
(Constructed structure) should be used here.

I dont understand the Set triggering unit = player1commandpost and the other two like that...

 

[UreDe4D]

those are variables, if you don't know what variables are read a tutorial on it, it is on important point for triggering, and the costum script is to remove leaks, there is also a tutorial on those around here: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35124&highlight=what+are+leaks

 

[Celaquil]

great, i dont have to know what they do, i know how to make them

Just tell me, what type of variables is they?

 

[emperor_d3st]

This question just proves that you NEED to know what are variables. So go ahead, read a tutorial about them and have fun tinkering with them. Warcraft triggering without variables is like a ship without hull..

 

[UreDe4D]

player1commandpost = Unit variable
temppoint = region variable

 

[Celaquil]

So, I've followed everything up, made the unit variable and the region variable, copyed the trigger you showed me, and everything SHOULD work, but it dont. For some reason they keep spawning like a radom spot on the map, but all at same spot, not in the senter of the map but like, if the building is in the right corner, they might just spawn in the left one... frustrating...

 

[UreDe4D]

post the trigger you have here

 

[NeC-ChRiSSi]

emperor_d3st is right...

Events
Unit - a Unit finishes construction
Conditions
triggering Unit is a command post
owner of triggering unit equal to player1

That does not work...
Has to be:

Events
Unit - a Unit finishes construction
Conditions
Builded Unit is a command post
owner of Builded unit equal to player1



And Keiji
The second trigger called "UnitSpawn" has to be offline at mapstart.
On top there are 2 Check-Boxes. Remove the Mark in the one called "At Beginning On" (Maybe not exactly called that ...)

 

[UreDe4D]

@ chrissi i told him that the trigger has to be initially off, read my post

 

[NeC-ChRiSSi]

kk...
But I still think he forgot to do that...

 

[Celaquil]

Well i did notice that right after i asked, but then someone replyed and i thought it was not problem, which it wasnt either, but if it IS a problem, than i humbly ask if a Mod or Admin can move this thread to its right location.

If you want an easy spawn way.
Add a skill named factory(unit skill, not hero skill).
the skill code is "ANfy"
the see the code, press ctrl+D, ctrl+f to find text.

factory skill
- you can change the spawn interval (60 if you wan very 60 seconds)
- spawn unit type as you like.
- duration can put 0 seconds for forever.

If u wan spawn 2 or more unit give the unit more skill.
each skill spawn unit. (can be difference unit also.

If you want order them to move to a point after spawn
the trigger response to the unit.

• Move
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)<region>
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to <Unit Type>
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Move To <Position>

Or more advance trigger to reduce memory leak:

• Move
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Point = (Center of (Playable map area))
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Move To Temp_Point
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point)

(Extra)
[How to do Custom script
juz select the trigger and copy up the word "call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point)" and paste on it.]
