[Trigger] Spawning

[Thfatman]

Hello. I'm having problems setting units to spawn at buildings. This is how I set up the triggers in my map. This is how I have it set up:

Not sure if I did that right, but be sure to yell at me if I didn't.

You did it wrong with that picture, too small to be readable
Just copy the trigger here and use the TRIGGER tags around the text

Well, here's try number two then.

• Set NumSpawners = 61

• -------- Redone Spawning system array based --------

• -------- Note that 'frequency' controls how often the monster spawns. --------

• -------- 1 frequency is 0.5 seconds. 4 frequency is 2 seconds. 8 frequency is 4 seconds --------

• -------- By default it is 4 (2 seconds) --------

• For each (Integer A) from 0 to NumSpawners, do (Set Frequencies[(Integer A)] = 8)

• For each (Integer A) from 0 to NumSpawners, do (Set MaxMonsters[(Integer A)] = 7)

• For each (Integer A) from 0 to NumSpawners, do (Set EnableSpawners[(Integer A)] = True)

• Set MonsterSpawners[0] = Arcane Tower 0023 <gen>

• Set SpawnTypes[0] = Spirit Swordsman

• Set EnableSpawners[0] = False

How is this?

@Thfatman
You dual post, you could have edited your other one...

I'd rather get help with my issue then have people worrying about my accidental dual post, thanks.

Why do you set EnableSpawners to false for each integer after you've just run a loop which sets them all to true first?

You need to give us more information if we're to solve your problem. Attach your map maybe?

That's all there really is in the trigger. All that's left is just those same commands repeated. I have the EnableSpawners set to false, because I copied this trigger from a map that a friend of mine made, because I didn't know how to set spawns at buildings. If someone could just tell me how to do that, like I originally asked, that would be awesome.

Where are your Unit - Create unit actions by the way?

@Pharaoh: I don't think he knows what that is.
@Thfatman: I think you should ask your friend for help since he has made the triggers and knows how they work. If not then you should experiment atleast a little with making your own triggers or follow a tutorial.
eg: Creep Respawn (GUI)
You need atleast this basic knowledge to understand what we're talking about and to be able to customize it to your needs.
Alternatively you could attach your map and request changes made to it (not what i would recommend)

Okay, look. I just want to set units to spawn AT a building. I know how to set unit spawns, and spawn times. I want them to spawn at a certain building, and stop when the building is destroyed.

not going to try reading that tiny image lol but my suggestion is something like

• Trigger1
• Events
  • Time - Every 5.00 seconds of game time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Position of (Barracks)) facing Default building facing degrees

• Trigger2
• Events
  • Unit - A unit Dies
• Conditions
  • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Barracks
• Actions
  • Trigger - Turn off (Trigger1)

• bla
  • Events
    • Time - Every 20.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Barracks)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Owner of (Picked unit)) at (Position of (Picked unit)) facing Default building facing degrees

try to understand everything of this (its not that hard) and when you do read this because this trigger leaks locations and a unit group.

Well yes, what we were saying is that you don't only need to set the spawns in variables, you need to use this action too:

• Actions
  • For each (Integer A) from 0 to 8, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • ((MonsterSpawners[(IntegerA)]) is alive) Equal to True
        • Then - Actions
          • Set Point1 = (Position of (MonsterSpawners[(IntegerA)]))
          • Unit - Create 1 SpawnTypes[(IntegerA)] for (Your player) at Point1 facing default building degrees
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point1)

 

[Thfatman]

So, will these triggers stop the spawns if the building is destroyed?

 

[Vulcano]

I repeat:
try to understand everything of this (its not that hard)

JUST USE YOUR BRAINS

• ((MonsterSpawners[(IntegerA)]) is alive) Equal to True

What do you think this condition does?

Oh, I'm so sorry masta. I guess just me wanting to clarify with ya means that I's just so stupid. Me sorry.
