Spawnning mobs?

[Legendary]

Hi guys.. i was wondering other rpg maps have this system that if you go in that area units will spawn there and if you look at the map there are none so the only way you can see those creeps is to like go to a specific region how can i do that? sorry for my grammar

Sorry but the visibility part makes no sense.

Many maps like TKoK RPG used area based spawning to reduce the number of units on the map at any time.

yeah that's what i said

So you make a 1 time trigger that starts when unit enters a specific region.
When that happens, you create creeps in your desired location. Also start this trigger with "Trigger - turn off (this trigger)" action so another entering unit won't spawn new wave of enemies (unless that is intentional ofc)

What do you mean by desired location?

 

[Nichilus]

basically a region or a point placed where you want your creeps to spawn.

Would that be too mainstream? its too many

Hmm. If you want a group of units to spawn in a location, you need either a region or a point.
From one or the other you can create for example 6 units. Because of pathing, they will spawn one near the other.
If you want creeps to spawn in formation, you may want to create points with polar offset from the original point.

Edit: you can use loop to spawn the group.

Hmm do you know how to make like goh?

 

[Nichilus]

Probably not, I don't know what goh means

Nope, GOH uses hide units, not creating and removing as far as i see. BTW, why don't you just check unit enters a region and pick every units inside => Unhide it. And the opposite with the unit leaves?

 

[Nichilus]

If he were to make the whole map like that, won't that cause lags? The hidden units would be still in game.

Yeah

Nah, not as lag as remove and then re-create them. Every time you create a unit can cause lags and well... if there're too many units inside the map at once, AI units will become stupid (moving slowly when engaging someone) - such a thing you could see in many survival maps out there
