[Spell] Spawn System Check

[P3in]

Hi guys, i took a spawn system that is older on here and adjusted it to my needs ([System] Spawn System)

I use this system to spawn creeps from the main enemy player that attack every city after a certain time, and they drop rewards if players succesfully kill the creeps, if creeps however kill the "Captain" which is in the location they are sent to "Attack-Move", the game will end after about 30 seconds.

Now i am not sure about the second location in i make in CA_Start, shall i delete it or not?

In the template there are only 5 waves, but in my map there will be 18 levels(9 towns-each with 2 wave, one easy, one strong), also, what about the unit group, does it cause leak at some point? Or shall i delete it only after the last wave finished and not after each wave?

I want also to ask, how should i manage the items spawn when there are 0 units left in the wave, i somehow want to add the items in the init, and spawn them in the CA_Die when units are 0, but there will be more items droppable, let's say between 5-20 per wave (including tomes/gold/lumber/items).

I also want to add a custom text to appear when there are about 20 seconds for the city to be attacked, i tried to do the countdown left time = 20 > show text, but it didn't work that way.

I would like to make each city randomly get attacked, let's say they are divided from 1-9 (easy wave) and 10-18 (hard wave), how can i store them so first 9 waves are randomly waves but only easy creeps, and last 9 waves are randomly waves but only hard creeps? So the spawn take's randomly a number from 1 to 9, but then removes it from the next wave calculation.

I posted triggers and i also uploaded the system in case someone will need it(for first ver,credits to: Hashjie).

Later edit: Now i've seen it's posted in "World Editor Help Zone", can someone move it please into the "Triggers & Scripts" ? Thanks!
