Spontaneous spawning.

[Alkatrazz]

Well I ran into a problem the other day. In my map I want wells (both health and mana) to spawn on a specific place, but I want them to spawn differently. So maybe the first time a mana well will spawn and later a health etc.

I want the well to be there for 30 seconds, and then be removed. And also a ping on the minimap, and I want text to appear to tell people the good news

Yes so make it...

Perodically, itterate through a list of well points and then create a well of a random type (again can be from a list of well types) for each of those well points. When you spawn the wells, you add a timed life to them of 30 seconds and set a ping off to all human players. Finally after all that you send the message to everyone telling that the wells have spawned.

Solution

I believe this is what you are looking for, let me know if it isnt though.

Replace the regions with the regions you want the fountains to spawn at, they will spawn at the start due to the "Start" trigger and keep spawning every 30 seconds due to the "Spawning" trigger, when a fountain of health spawns, a blue ping will ping its location, and a purple ping will ping fountain of manas location.

You don't need "Start" trigger, just let the Spawning trigger initially enabled and it will apply the first spawning in 30 seconds.

Don't use "Run trigger" on a trigger with a periodic event; use "Trigger - Turn on (Trigger)". However, you don't need the Start trigger in the first place.

I was using that trigger to spawn one as soon as the game starts, not just at 30 seconds, but as you said its not needed, if not wanted.
