Unit production similar to zerg

[MoCu]

Hey. Im recently making a wc3 mod where all four races are replaced by dwarves, goblins, nerubians and one more (not sure which to choose yet ). I've got an idea to make nerubians make units like zerg in sc2 (or should i say similar). Now i got 2 units for one type (for example Nerubian Drone (worker) and Nerubian Drone (Egg)) and when i build it the main building spawns an egg, which after some time kills itself and spawns the unit. I need a bar that shows the timer when the unit pops out and a rally point and im not sure how to do it, anyone? ;P

I think this should do what you want:

• replace unit
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Trained unit)) Equal to Spider
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet TempUnit = (Trained unit)
    • Set VariableSet TempPoint = (Position of TempUnit)
    • Unit - Replace TempUnit with a Egg Sack using The new unit's default life and mana
    • Set VariableSet TempUnit = (Last replaced unit)
    • Unit - Add a 3.00 second Generic expiration timer to TempUnit
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

• spawn spider
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Egg Sack
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet TempPoint = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 Spider for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

this will also spawn the unit when the egg is killed, is that what you want?

You can also look up how it's done for Spider/Nerubian races in Return of the Dragon.

Now i realized i got another problem. I wanna those eggs spawn units after the expiration time, but you can also kill the egg and the unit comes out faster. How to prevent that? Any ideas ?

When the Egg dies check if there was a Killing unit or not.

• Conditions
• (Killing unit) Not equal to No unit

Pretty sure this works.
