Spawning crates

[Ham]

is there a way to spawn crates all over the map? (with the custom item list) which is needed for their drops. thanks beforehand

Like.. the doodad crates..?

 

[Ham]

yes, in random places of the map.

Make a dummy unit with crate model.

 

[Ham]

how so?

 

[Djinn1995]

change model file to crates

This might help:

• Spawn Crates
  • Events
    • Whatever
  • Conditions
    • Whatever
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) between 1 and Whatever do Actions:
      • Actions
        • Destructible - Create 1 Crate at (Random position in Playable Map) facing (Random Angle)

This probably leaks like hell, but correct me.

If you want them well spread I'd recommend you divide your map into quadrants and make them appear in each one.

First off make a unit.. just any unit (not a builder preferably) change model file to the crate doodad also get rid of his shadow then make this trigger

• Events
  • Time - Every (how long you want in between spawns) seconds
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Create 1 (Dummy unit) at a random position in (playable map area)

Play around with that to fit what you want/need

ok i knew this already, thanks, but i wanted to set this unit /doodad to have the custom item list i made for its drops

 

[idodik]

That can also be added via triggers (either by spawning upon death or by adding the item table itself - most preferable the first option).

Uhhh, i've got a doodad and an unit to test it, both of them drop items upon death (item list) but i want the new doodads / units of crates drop these items too when i make a tigger for "create..." it just makes the unit, and not the list, what should i do?

 

[Chief-Oblivion]

• Events
  • Unit - A Unit Dies
• Conditions
  • (Dying unit) equal to (box)
• Actions
  • Item - Create 1 (item) at position of dying unt

Fit that in there somewhere and itll work.. =D

Every X seconds of the game,
If UnitCount of Crates is > MAX,
set point = randomnumberX randomnumberY
create crate at point
destroy point

 

[Ham]

ok what about the drop list, so when anyone kills it it has a chance to drop any of these items in the list ?
