Spawning and limiting numbers of unit in an area

[Prince_Webby]

I'm a WE beginner,and have a very weak triggering skill.So,I'm here to ask that,is it possible to make an area spawn unit when another unit is entering that area and keeping spawning until reached the number of limit?
so that no "respawning" of unit is needed?
My idea is to replace the "unit respawning" so that i no need to place any unit at that area when the map is initialed.
Sorry for my bad english
+rep for who ever replied
Thanks~

explain better plz.
I got no idea what you want

If I get it right, then you want to start spawning units in certain region whenever player-controlled unit enters that region... and repeating this process as long as the player-controlled units remain in it?

i think this is what u want but plz explain better.

• unit enter region
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters No region
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local location udg_tempPoint
    • Custom script: local integer udg_tempInt
    • Set tempPoint = (Center of No region)
    • For each (Integer tempInt) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at tempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
        • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation ( udg_tempPoint)
    • Custom script: set udg_tempPoint = null

this will create 10 units at a region when someone enters that region but it will wait 1 second between spawning the units.

Alright,or i should saying in this way
A region,there's unit on it when the map initialed,it will respawn when get killed,within 30 sec.
if there's no unit is placed when the map initialed,how i'm i going to do the same outcome as above.

i think this is what u want but plz explain better.

• unit enter region
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters No region
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local location udg_tempPoint
    • Custom script: local integer udg_tempInt
    • Set tempPoint = (Center of No region)
    • For each (Integer tempInt) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at tempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
        • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation ( udg_tempPoint)
    • Custom script: set udg_tempPoint = null

this will create 10 units at a region when someone enters that region but it will wait 1 second between spawning the units.

and deathismyfriend,thanks for your method,i will try this out

Thanks for all your replies.

here is a trigger that respawns a specific unit like respawing a boss at the region when it dies.

• respawn unit
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to bossUnit
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local location udg_tempPoint
    • Set tempPoint = (Center of No region)
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at tempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set bossUnit = (Last created unit)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation ( udg_tempPoint)
    • Custom script: set udg_tempPoint = null

You could also use an integer to keep track of the number of units in existence. Increment the integer every time you spawn a unit and decrement it every time one of the spawns dies. Only spawn when the integer is less than the limit.
