Spawning units at another unit

[TormentedGod]

Okay so i made a trigger that when a unit finishes being built
and if the unit is a milita recruitment
then add the unit to unit group milita2


now how could i make it so that every 10 seconds 2 milita units would spawn at any milita recruitment in the unit group milita 2

thanks for help

HI

Im using the german editor, but i think u can understand it, since every important information is in english =)

Posibility 1:

• Trigger
  • Ereignisse
    • Time - Every 10.00 seconds of game time
  • Bedingungen
  • Aktionen
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in groupmilita2 and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • Einheit - Create 2 militia for (Owner of (Picked unit)) at TempPoint facing default degrees
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
        • Custom script: set udg_TempPoint=null

Psoibility 2: If u dont like periodic Events, or to be able to control the SpawnTime a bit, u can use a Timer, wich you have to start manually at Time - 0.00 (or whenever you want). The good Thing is, u can stop Timers, so u could stop the Spawning for all Players by Trigger:

• Set up
  • Ereignisse
    • Map initialization
  • Bedingungen
  • Aktionen
    • Countdown-Timer - Start SpawnTimer as a Einmalig timer that will expire in 10.00 seconds

• Spawn
  • Ereignisse
    • Time - SpawnTimer expires
  • Bedingungen
  • Aktionen
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in groupmilita2 and do (Actions)
      • Schleifen - Aktionen
        • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • Einheit - Create 2 milita for (Owner of (Picked unit)) at TempPoint facing default degrees
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
        • Custom script: set udg_TempPoint=null
    • Countdown-Timer - Start SpawnTimer as a Einmalig timer that will expire in 10.00 seconds

I hope that it is helpfull =)

thats really confusing but ill give it a go

 

[The_Silent]

just a reminder, this is easly done as far as i se without any script codes at all

 

[TormentedGod]

Can anyone show me how in english?

Can anyone show me how in english?

My posted Triggers are almost i guess 80% in english. The Actions are the exactly the same, only the language for Event and Condition and so on are different. What do you not understand?

 

[TormentedGod]

oh okay nvm

Well it would but you also can set the One-shot timer to a continious one to get rid of the last line in the second trigger

 

[TormentedGod]

well wat is this..

Set TempPoint = (Position of (Picked unit))
Einheit - Create 2 militia for (Owner of (Picked unit)) at TempPoint facing default degrees
Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
Custom script: set udg_TempPoint=null

 

[Squiggy]

Temppoint is a point variable, Einheit means 'Unit' and the custom script removes leaks. Read here about leaks

 

[TormentedGod]

makes no god damn sense were the hell do i find set temp

 

[Emm-A-]

Search in the GUI-Actions for Set Variable.

TempPoint is the Name of a Variable. In the Triggereditor, press STRG + 8 or hit the "Yellow X", then select POINT as VariableType.

Then you go to Actions and search for Set Variable.

The Custom Script is also an action, that u can find in the GUI.

Would this work if i had 2 milita recruitment centers?

 

[Demonsul]

From what I can see, yes.

 

[Emm-A-]

Would this work if i had 2 milita recruitment centers?

So you want to have two points to spawn your Milita units?

So you just have to use the variable a second time:

Like this:

• Set TempPoint = (Center of (Area X))
• Unit - Create 1 Militia for Player 1 (Red) at TempPoint facing default degrees
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
• Set TempPoint = (Center of (Area y))
• Unit - Create 1 Militia for Player 1 (Red) at TempPoint facing default degrees
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

Nvm i dont need to do that it works with just the one
but i have question how can make it so when like the milita center is destroyed the milita will stop spawning or if upgraded itll stop spawning.

 

[Emm-A-]

u need those bolean Comparissons:

1. Unit is alive
2. Research Type Equal to Integer number(as i think you have to research for the upgrade)

• (Current research level of <ResearchType> for Player X) Equal to Y
• // Put in for Player X = picked Player in the PickPlayerloop, and for Y the Levelnumber of the researchtype(that u want to compare
• then use IF / THEN / ELSE to use the Conditon

• ((Ur barracks) is alive) Equal to True
