spawn..

[sonkan1]

hi.

have you ewer played a maul? if, then you´ll know wath im talkintg about.

4 ewery 1 els::: i got this map i´w done really nice but! i want 2 make a repeating monster spawn that uses a timer window 2 inform wen the next wave is arriving. i just dont know how 2 start the timer window first AFTER all the attacking enemys are dead. well hope you´ll understand.:coolgrunt:

I don't play mauls very often, but for the description you gave me, you could create a variable for Unit Groups. Then, set the unit group to the units in the region (make sure all units are caught), and create another trigger to check every X second(s) for when the group is empty.
I cannot give you a good example since I rarelly play mauls/TDs and I've never worked on one, but here's a try:

Spawn
    [COLOR="Red"][B]Events[/B][/COLOR]
        Time - Elapsed game time is 10.00 seconds
    [COLOR="Lime"][B]Conditions[/B][/COLOR]
    [COLOR="Silver"][B]Actions[/B][/COLOR]
        Unit - Create 1 Dark Troll for Neutral Hostile at (Center of ([I]YourRegion[/I])) facing (...)
        Set [I]UnitGroup[/I] = (Units in ([I]YourRegion[/I]))

In case you've got more than one spawn point, maybe you should use arrays.
Another example:

Spawn
    [COLOR="Red"][B]Events[/B][/COLOR]
        Time - Elapsed game time is 10.00 seconds
    [COLOR="Lime"][B]Conditions[/B][/COLOR]
    [COLOR="Silver"][B]Actions[/B][/COLOR]
        Unit - Create 1 Dark Troll for Neutral Hostile at (Center of (YourRegion)) facing (...)
        Unit - Create 1 Dark Troll for Neutral Hostile at (Center of (AnotherRegion )) facing (...)
        Trigger - Run Timer <gen> (checking conditions)

Timer
    [COLOR="Red"][B]Events[/B][/COLOR]
    [COLOR="Lime"][B]Conditions[/B][/COLOR]
    [COLOR="Silver"][B]Actions[/B][/COLOR]
        Set UnitGroup[1] = (Units in (YourRegion))
        Set UnitGroup[2] = (Units in (AnotherRegion))

Check
    [COLOR="Red"][B]Events[/B][/COLOR]
        Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
    [COLOR="Lime"][B]Conditions[/B][/COLOR]
        And - All (Conditions) are true
            [COLOR="Lime"][B]Conditions[/B][/COLOR]
                (UnitGroup[1] is empty) Equal to True
                (UnitGroup[2] is empty) Equal to True
    [COLOR="Silver"][B]Actions[/B][/COLOR]

You should use If/Then/Else to check if they belong to hostile on trigger Timer, or maybe use another trigger to prevent units from players to enter there.
For the timers, you should create a variable for Timers and use Countdown Timer - Create Timer Window, and Countdown Timer - Start Timer.

I guess I explained in a confusing way. That's why my reputation never grows T_T if you have more questions, feel free to ask.

thank you, il try that. but! theres a but agan. i want 2 increase the nuber of attackers and i dont know how 2 make this repeating trigger (im gonna have like 60 lvls,). cant you use variables and increase the attackers that way?.

 

[Rui]

It is possible. Create an Integer variable and increase it's value by 2 before every wave.

Trigger
    [COLOR="Red"][B]Events[/B][/COLOR]
    [COLOR="Lime"][B]Conditions[/B][/COLOR]
    [COLOR="Silver"][B]Actions[/B][/COLOR]
        Set Int = ([COLOR="Blue"]Int + 2[/COLOR])
        Unit - Create [I]Int[/I] Kobold for Neutral Hostile at (Area) facing (...)

NOTE: The code in blue is an Arithmetic.
The variable's name is Int in this case.
