Unit Autocreating building

[Gadgetguy]

I think I have put a this thread finally in the right spot.
I have made these two but I need help figuring out how to stop making the units completely or pick a different unit to make.

I need help making a building that has units and when you select one it will
create one every second or two and automatically subtracts gold every second
or two from your amount

Sorry about my many threads on this

It's up to you to let the engine know when you want this to stop. Just remove the unit from the "Group" unit group.

Subtract the gold required. There is a GetUnitCostById() function somewhere in plain Jass; move it to the header of the map and then subtract that value, like:

• Custom script: set udg_Cost = GetUnitCostById (GetUnitTypeId(GetTrainedUnit()))
• Player - Add (-1 x Cost) to (Triggering player) Current gold

"Cost" is an Integer variable.

I'll look into that, thank you.
how would I make it stop if you clicked the cancel button?
Just if cancel button clicked take unit out of group?
Where do I find GetUnitCostById()?
I have searched the forum and can't find it.

sorry, I'm new at this and I don't know much about how this stuff works

This can help...

Thanks Mckill, that answered my question.
I just want to know, how would I use the trigger you made to make 2 or 3 types of units that way?

 

[mckill2009]

make a unit-type variable array, then set it up in the initialization...
sample;
set UType[1] = Footman
set UType[2] = Rifleman

then at the looping trigger;
Unit - Create 1 UType[randomNumbers between 1 and 2]...

 

[Gadgetguy]

How would I let someone pick between the footman or rifleman instead of it being random?

 

[Frotty]

Create a dialog and create the unit out of the array he chose?

 

[Gadgetguy]

That would make sense

 

[mckill2009]

unit types are just integers so instead of arrays and if you dont want random, then save a
unit type into a hashtable, then load it in the creation...

• Custom script: call SaveInteger(udg_Hash, udg_ID, 9, 'hpea')

• Custom script: set udg_UType = LoadInteger(udg_Hash, udg_ID, 9)
• Unit - Create 1 UType for (Owner of U) at Loc facing Default building facing degrees
