[System] Spawn System

[Nightbrowler]

Hi guys,
I encountered some problems with my old spawn system, and I need a new one, a good triggerer please, the system should look like this:

1-20 MAX types for and area, meaning 1-20 different type that you can choose will spawn in the region you want, also it should have a limit of how much units per type it should have, each type should have their own limit, all spawns are heroes!. also you can set on each single spawn the level.

Create some variables like:
Type:
Level:
Area:
Limit Unit:
Cooldown of spawning new unit:

It would be very helpful if someone can take this request, Thanks in advance.

GUI please.

I made you such a system.

It should be quite self explenatory
Test it and you'll see...

EDIT: By the way, do you want the new wave timer to start right after the previous wave finnished spawning?
Or do you want to start the timer whenever the entire previous wave is dead? I can change that if you want to

Also: if you want to start the waves for the first time, you don't have to do it in the map initialization trigger.
Just run Start Spawn for the first time in whatever trigger you have that should start these waves.

EDIT 2: For those who are interested in the triggers but don't want to download the test map:

Somehow it causes some mistakes ot my map dunno why, but some units will be invulnerable.

The mistakes might be caused by me using JNGP in order to create the triggers.
I'll take a quick look and correct it for you.

What do you mean with some units will be invulnerable?
Could you give me an example?

EDIT: the test map works with the normal WE editor so that's not the problem.
It might be that some other triggers in your map are causing it not to work?
Can I take a look or are you going to try and figure this out yourself ?

You have tryed the test map I suppose?

see my SpawnSystem, in my signature, it maybe written in jass but its powerful enough
to do your spawning needs...
