[Trigger] Wave Spawning

CodeBlack · Sep 2, 2014

Hey Guys. Since i am still looking for someone who can make me a tutorial cinematic for Technichal Warfare, i didnt want to continue work on it till i got this. So i got bored and started a new map XD
Right now i am trying to get a wave spawn running like in X Hero siege.
I used this Tutorial to make a spawning system: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/trigger-gui-editor-tutorials-279/multiple-creep-spawn-system-32436/. Now i am Trying to change this system but i got completely stuck...maybe you can help me out ^^

i want this system to keep on spawning the Same stuff every Wave until i tell it to start Spawning the next/ the new wave.
is that possible or should i try to find a completely different system?

Greetings CodeBlack :goblin_yeah:

Can you post your specific triggers ?

That's easy to achieve, you just use integers/or/booleans to detect which wave you're currently at. This is an example for just two waves :

Wave
Events
- Time - Timer Wave expires
Conditions
Actions
- WaveNumber = (WaveNumber + 1)
- Trigger - Run WaveTrigger[WaveNumber] ( Ignore Conditions )
- Trigger - Turn off CreepLevel[(WaveNumber - 1)]
- Trigger - Turn on CreepLevel[(WaveNumber)]

I am sorry I couldn't explain so much but if you want a test map you can request that I'd make it for u

is this meant as an addition to the system i am using or as new system?

ok...cool could you make an example map for me? it would be really cool =D thank you ^^

deathismyfriend · Sep 2, 2014

In your system this is what increases the level.

Set lvlnum = (lvlnum + 1)

All you have to do is to remove that and only increase it when you want. Use an ITE or another trigger to do this. When it is not increased it will continually spawn the current wave the next time the timer expires.

Also never use integer A/B. Use an integer made in the variable editor.
You leak locations. You should look at this tutorial. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/triggers-scripts-269/things-leak-35124/

Set all locations that are used in the spawn trigger into a variable at 0.00 elapsed game time trigger. Never remove / set these locations to any other variable and always use them in your spawn trigger.

You should also take a look at my tutorial. Things You Should Know When Using Triggers / GUI. Link is in my sig.

jonhysone · Sep 2, 2014

Here is a sample map I made it for you ^^
First you should apply what Deathismyfriend said because I made it so fast
Also if you need anything in it tell me.I am glad to help

It's heavy-commented , everything you would know is inside the map

I dont get it XD
i picked the line

Set lvlnum = (lvlnum + 1)

and put it into another trigger i could manually trigger (just for testing).
then i set lvlnum to 1 as start value, but the trigger says spawning wave 0 and nothing happens.

EDIT: Error found...seems like i cant set this variable with game init. needed to make an trigger with time elapsed 0.0

TANK YOU VERY MUCH +rep

ok here i am again

now i got a new problem with spawning waves XD

i set up a 1 to 1 copy (using its own variables) of the spawn trigger for the other team (there are 2 teams on my map) now i got this problem: the spawn starts when an timer expires, i made two timer using different variables (Clock1 and Clock2).
When both are running only Team 2 spawns, when i disable only the clock2, team 1 spawns <.<
My timers seem to block each other or sth like that, even if both are showing up properly.

That is the problem with that guide as it is outdated. You do not need to copy the triggers to allow for teams to spawn at different times. You simple make the team have its own counter. Example of what this does. Team 1 has a counter that is at 2. Team 2 has a counter at 7.
When team 1 spawns it will spawn the level 2 units. When team 2 spawns it will spawn the level 7 units.

Show us the triggers please so I can try to help you fix your problem.

Problem with using the same system is, that i am changing units while you go on in the map, this would mean, that the other team also gets the new units.

The spawn Trigger:

Never use integer a/b. Use your own custom integer.

Never use entering unit. Use triggering unit.

You leak locations and any location used for the entire game should be stored into a permanent variable and never destroyed / changed. Use that variate for the whole game.

Never use waits. That is most likely your problem but it is hard to tell as you posted every trigger. I only need the triggers that correspond to the waves for team 1 / 2. The setup and the spawn triggers. Not what determined the enemies for these.

I know the triggers leak...i just want to get them running first then i can think about stopping leaks.

why shouldt i use entering unit? does it still work as i want it to, when i set triggering unit instead of entering?

the waits have been there from tutorial...any ideas how to replace them?

EDIT: Forgot the Triggers XD , i changed them due to some problems....

Timers replace waits.

Entering unit is slower and less efficient than triggering unit.

CodeBlack · Sep 6, 2014

ok....i see. This makes the trigger more efficient, but i still have the problem that it doesnt work as i want it to :eekani:

it only spawns units on the east side. when i turn of the timer for the east it spawns the units on the west side, but obviously not the ones on the east side.

i could easily solve this problem by using only one timer and one spawn trigger, but i want 2 timers, for gameplay reasons.

Dr Super Good · Sep 6, 2014

Never create multiple units at the same time at the same location as this puts a huge strain on system resources as it tries to displace the units. Either stagger the spawning over a length of time or try and find unique places to spawn units that will not collide with other units.

Units spawn every 0.75 seconds, so they dont block each other, also my problem is completely different. i have 2 spawns on different sides of the map but for some reason only one spawn works.

Dr Super Good · Sep 6, 2014

You are leaking a lot of locations which can result in poor map performance (yes sorry WC3 is annoying in that way). Every location you create you need to destroy after it is no longer useful or it will leak.

Do both triggers run? The trigger that starts the timers appears to be missing (or I cannot find it, that happens from time to time).

hehe...its possible that i didnt post it XD
the triggers should both run...as i said when only west timer is on it spawns in the west but when i turn on the east one west stops spawning...

so here are ALL Triggers that are related to spawning in ANY way ^^

The following makes no sense...

Events

Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds

Conditions

Actions

Countdown Timer - Start Timer as a Repeating timer that will expire in 60.00 seconds

Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title West Wave

Set Timer = (Last started timer)

Countdown Timer - Change the color of the time for (Last created timer window) to (100.00%, 80.00%, 20.00%) with 0.00% transparency

Set Timer = (Last started timer)

Countdown Timer - Show (Last created timer window)

Clock e

Events

Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds

Conditions

Actions

Countdown Timer - Start Timer2 as a Repeating timer that will expire in 60.00 seconds

Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title East Wave

Set Timer = (Last started timer)

Countdown Timer - Change the color of the time for (Last created timer window) to (100.00%, 80.00%, 20.00%) with 0.00% transparency

Both overwrite the value in timer. This means that if the "Clock e" trigger was to run before the "Clock" trigger then it will break very badly as both will be starting the timer located in "Timer2" and the timer in "Timer" will have leaked (no longer any references to it, all events made with it cannot ever fire). Since you are using GUI timers do not alter the contents of timer variables for the following reasons.
1. Timer events are attached to the timer objects and not the variable so changing the variable will not change the timer the event uses.
2. All variables are assigned an initial value of a unique timer object. Changing that value can potentially leak a timer unless the existing one is destroyed.

Remove the "Set Timer = (Last started timer)" lines and hopefully stuff will work much better!

thank you very much...removing those lines worked very well

Leaks etc will be fixed later...this is going to be a lot of work i think and i want to get a running prototype done first. +rep
