Trigger Spawning

[boondockss]

Hi I am looking to spawn zombies within a certain region after someone types -Undead Enabled and I only want them to enable the Undead after a certain time limit say 300 seconds = 5 minutes and i was that time limit connected to another trigger and when that trigger is done I want them to be able to type the command and enable undead and i want it as a periodic event every 60 seconds = 1 minute. If you need help understanding what i just said i will edit this post and make it a little more understandable.

you probably want a trigger that sets off a timer.

• timer
  • Events
    • Insert events here
  • Conditions
    • Insert conditions here
  • Actions
    • Insert actions here
    • Countdown Timer - Start timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 300.00 seconds
    • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for timer with title Time Left:

then make a trigger after the timer expires

• enable spawn
  • Events
    • Time - timer expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn on undead spawn <gen>

then make an initially off trigger for the command.

• undead spawn
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -Undead Enabled as An exact match
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -Undead Enabled as An exact match
    • Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -Undead Enabled as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Trigger - Turn on spawn loop <gen>
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Undead Enabled!

then make the trigger for the spawning (also initially off).

• spawn loop
  • Events
    • Time - Every 60.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 undead for player at (Center of region) facing Default building facing degrees

If it's 300 seconds exactly after the game starts then you can use Elapsed game-time is equal to 300.00

This did not work for me.

  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn on Command Used <gen>

• Command Used
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -undead as An exact match
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -undead as An exact match
    • Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -undead as An exact match
    • Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing -undead as An exact match
    • Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing -undead as An exact match
    • Player - Player 6 (Orange) types a chat message containing -undead as An exact match
    • Player - Player 7 (Green) types a chat message containing -undead as An exact match
    • Player - Player 8 (Pink) types a chat message containing -undead as An exact match
    • Player - Player 9 (Gray) types a chat message containing -undead as An exact match
    • Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) types a chat message containing -undead as An exact match
    • Player - Player 11 (Dark Green) types a chat message containing -undead as An exact match
    • Player - Player 12 (Brown) types a chat message containing -undead as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Countdown Timer - Start ZombieTimer as a Repeating timer that will expire in 60.00 seconds
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

• Spawn Zombies
  • Events
    • Time - ZombieTimer expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint = (Center of YourRegion <gen>)
    • Unit - Create 3 Ghoul for Neutral Hostile at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

"Command Used" needs to be initially off.
Obviously it will need configuration to meet your exact needs in the map but this is the idea.

In your "call RemoveLocation(udg_Temppoint)" what does that do cause when I put it in it does not work, and gives me an error, and I cannot save what is it? Is it vital to have it, or do I not need it?

Make sure to capitalize the P in TempPoint. Jass scripts are case sensitive.

If you leave it out, the trigger will leak a location variable and cause permanent lag. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/trigger-gui-editor-tutorials-279/basic-memory-leaks-5889/

I did it's just that the Custom Script disables my trigger, and I am unable to do anything with it.

What error it brings? It's suppose to work.
