[Trigger Request] Spawning System

Nightbrowler · Apr 13, 2012

Hey guys,
I have been trying out various spawning systems, but none of them got what I want, I need a spawning system that has to be a bit different from others since I got some "strange" triggers in my map wich permits me to do a lot of amazing things with heroes. So I would like if somebody could do this:

Spawning System;

Variables should look like this:

Spawn_Unit: Paladin
Spawn_Limit: 4 (refers to how many units we want to create)
Spawn_Region: X (Spawning region)
Spawn_DelayTime: 2 seconds. (if one of those four units dies it will be recreated in 2 seconds.)

And that was just an example of how I want the system to be. So I dont wan't to have a system that checks if the unit is in the spawn_region because if it is dragged away it will be recreated so i rather want one that checks if those spawned units are alive and when they die, they will be replaced by another same unit.
IMPORTANT:

ALL SPAWNS ARE HEROES!
THERE WILL BE A LOT OF TYPES!
THERE WILL BE LIKE 64 HEROES TYPES SPAWNING EACH INSTANCE!

So be sure to make it leakless and GUI, please.

------------------------------------

Will give credits and +rep.

Try this:

Init
- Events
  - Map initialization
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Set Spawn_Delay = 2.00
  - Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  - Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) owned by Player 1 (Red)) and do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - Set Spawn_CV = (Spawn_CV + 1)
      - Unit - Set the custom value of (Picked unit) to Spawn_CV

Dies
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Dies
- Conditions
  - (Triggering player) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
  - (Custom value of (Triggering unit)) Greater than 0
  - ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
- Actions
  - Set CV_Pass = (Custom value of (Triggering unit))
  - Set Spawn_Unit[CV_Pass] = (Triggering unit)
  - Countdown Timer - Start Spawn_Timer[CV_Pass] as a One-shot timer that will expire in Spawn_Delay seconds
  - Set Spawn_Timer[CV_Pass] = (Last started timer)
  - Trigger - Add to Timer <gen> the event (Time - Spawn_Timer[CV_Pass] expires)

Timer
- Events
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Set Spawn_Loc = (Center of Spawn Region <gen>)
  - Hero - Instantly revive Spawn_Unit[CV_Pass] at Spawn_Loc, Show revival graphics
  - Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Spawn_Loc)

This is the proper trigger system that I'd recommend using, very nice design, I'd look it over better but its 12 at night and uk what. I'm tired xD maybe later. Good work though D_J.

Yea...

khamarr3524 · Apr 14, 2012

My bad, Drunken_Jackal's system leaks a unit. o.o
In the timer trigger, add

Custom script: set udg_Spawn_Unit[CV_Pass] = null

Drunken_Jackal · Apr 15, 2012

I know that, but GUIer's then to neglect that.
Besides, CV_Pass in an individual value, right?

CV_Pass is being used to reference an index of the udg_Spawn_Unit, and therefore, udg_Spawn_Unit[CV_Pass] returns unit. If this isn't nulled, it leaks a unit handle.

Alright, but the problem lies in creating the units, as i need them to level up each level until the specified level, for example i want to create a level 40 unit, i have to trigger the system to level up from 1-40, because once the unit reachesa a certain level it gets an abillity if i avoid it and instantaniously get it to level 40 it won't learn the abilities.

I have been using this sytem but somehow at some point when creating too many units, they become invurnerable somehow that's my problem.

I've created a spawn system for you, take a look.
Don't worry about TempLoc leaks, actually, it does not leak because we're using the same location over and over again, there's no need to destroy them.

I don't know, you should try it.

I got to do all the copying, to see if it works^^ sound nice.

defskull · Jun 18, 2012

I have run a loop of 100 checks of instances and it does not lag at all.
But perhaps the creation of each unit in the map at initial moment will lag as you create many units at once, deal with it.

But the checking is not lag as I can tell you.
I hope the respawn does not lag too.

Just a link to give a link.

That link is not relevant to his needs because there is no further setup as he wanted.

But that's a good start if you want to start triggering a system that relates to revive heroes.

Nightbrowler · Jun 26, 2012

Alright i forgot to tell you that there is a problem, what happens when the unit is catched, i need this for my pokemon game, if the unit is catched, it changes it's owner.
