[Trigger] Spawn multiple units by pressing button?

[Brett]

I would like someone to tell me how I can spawn multiple units by selecting a button in something like a tavern. I need to have the spawned units teleport and change ownership but I can do that no problem. Any help?

• Events
  • Unit - A unit sells a unit
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Point1 = (Position of (Sold unit))
  • For each (IntegerA) from 1 to 4, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Sold unit)) for (Owner of (Sold unit)) at Point1 facing default building degrees
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point1)

@ Pharaoh_: Maybe it would be better made with an item?

 

[Pharaoh_]

It's the same

 

[Brett]

ummm I seem to have made a mistake?

This is what I made (I know it's not what you put down but it helped)

Events- Unit Mercenary Camp X (gen) sells a unit.
Condition-
Action-Unit-Create 5(Unit-Type(Sold Unit)) for (Player x (xxx)) at (xxx<gen>)

It creates 1 of the sold units right next to the camp and 5 mercenary camps at the region where the units should spawn!

You sure you used sold unit and not selling unit?

Add the action

• Set Point1 = (Center of (Region xxx <gen>))
• Unit - Move (Sold unit) to Point1
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point1)

Did you really use Sold unit and not Selling unit?

 

[Brett]

1. Yes I am sure I used sold unit.
2. Pharaoh what does that action do that isn't already being done (i know it's probably important but im just curious) and where do I find Set Point?

It moves your sold unit at the point where the rest units should spawn. This will have a total amount of 6 units. If you want 5 units, either create 4 units and move the unit or create 5 units and use the actions:

• Unit - Kill (Sold unit)
• Unit - Remove (Sold unit) from the game

Set Point1 is a variable; you store the location to remove it afterwards, because it causes memory leak. For more:

AAAAAH THANK GOD!!! Finally worked after I changed it from selling a unit to training a unit and than I added the remove unit from game action

LoL, so you trained units, you didn't sell them.
Trained unit refers to the field of "Techtree - Units Trained", while Sold unit refers to the field "Techtree - Units sold" for the training/selling unit respectively (in the Object Editor).
