Spawn new units by clicking on static units

[kmkkmk]

Hi,

I want the player to spawn units by clicking onto a static unit (not movable, invurnable unit).

Howto do that? Should the spawn point unit belong to another AI controled player?

How can I detect the player clicking on the spawn point unit?

Thanks for your consideration

• Trigger
• Events
  • Selection - Player 1 (Red) selects a unit
• Conditions
  • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to X
• Actions
  • Set Point1 = (Center of (your region <gen>))
  • Unit - Create 1 Footman at Point1 for (Triggering Player) facing default building degrees
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point1)

Point1 is "Point" variable. The action is "Set Variable". Reference: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/trigger-gui-editor-tutorials-279/variables-5896/ , https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/triggers-and-scripts-269/things-that-leak-35124/

Thanks, that did it and I learned something.


Can I add more spawn point units with the same action without recreating the trigger for every one of them? I plan to have like 50 spawn point units and it would realy make things easier for me.

Also if I use the point variable Point1 alot, should I create it in map initialization? Where would I free it then? Would I free it, if it is used all the time?

Just add them, and it should work.

Create variables @ Trigger editor -> the yellow X on the toolbar.

My question is, how can I have the same action by clicking on any of them without creating a new tricker for each of them.

Where would I set the initial value of the point variable?

You can set "initial value" of the global variables by double clicking the variable name in variable editor in trigger editor.

Unless I am mistaken you can't do that for variables of type point.
