Trigger / Variable Question

[RivensInitium]

Suppose I want to construct an event that causes one unit to spawn for each of 8 players (Whichever ones are playing) in the center of a region.

Now, I understand the region portion, and the unit selected to spawn. The thing I want to use is a variable to select each of the 8 players and spawn one of thsoe units for them. I also want this trigger to tell which players are currently playing (Suppose 7 are playing, not 8), and only spawn those players this unit.

Thats a very easy trick

For each integer from 1 to *Playernumbers*
If Player[For Integer A] slot status equal to playing
then do Unit-Create *numberofunits* *unittype* for Player[For Integer A] at *yourrect* facing *yourdegrees* degrees

You say it's easy, yet it doesn't work. I've input everything in exactly as you said (Assuming the *starred* parts are values I fill in), and it doesn't work.

Of course, that's assuming I got this right:

I think "is playing" is the problem. They never work for me. Maybe try put together "Slot Equal to User" AND "Slot Not Equal to Has left the Game".

how about making the triggers invidivually for each player?


Event: *event to make the units

Conditions: *Player 1 equal to playing true blah blah

Action Create # of UNIT for PLAYER at RECT facing # Degrees

might work...

Yea, that'll work easily noob, but the thing is, I want to be conservative with my triggers. Any extra triggers that may not be needed, I don't want. Thus using variables rather than individual players. The more triggers, the more lag. Even the more actions in a trigger is more lag. Especially for older machines.

For each integer from 1 to *Playernumbers*
If Player[For Integer A] slot status equal to playing
then do Unit-Create *numberofunits* *unittype* for Player[For Integer A] at *yourrect* facing *yourdegrees* degrees <<<<<<<<< This MUST work....

because I have it in my map too and that still works!
Oah and , better to have not the event at map init.
Then it could be that it doesn'T work. Better to make it so:
Time - Elapsed Game time equal to 1 seconds

etc.
