first of all, yes i have used the search option and found several things and answers for creep respawning but nothing has been usefull.
what i need:
i want creep respawn in a fixed location but from a custom selfmade creep pool.
ex:
in location A i have creep x,y and z. xx seconds after the last of these creeps died i want 3 new random creeps in location A (NOT at the dying position via create unit at position of dying unit). these 3 new random creeps should be picked from a unit cage with unit x,y,z,w,v,u in it. if i now visit location A again after xx seconds there are for example creep x,w and y. next time i do this there are creeps of type u,u and y or any other posible combination of units from the unit cage x,y,z,w,v,u.
all suggestion's i've found so far are about respawning the dying unit and not a random unit from a pre-designed unit cage or group.
Initialize Unit Pool Events Map initialization Conditions Actions Set UnitPoolUnits[0] = Chicken Set UnitPoolUnits[1] = Frog Set UnitPoolUnits[2] = Rabbit Set UnitPoolUnits[3] = Raccoon Set UnitPoolUnits[4] = Stag Set UnitPoolUnits[5] = Pit Lord
spawn units Events Time - TimerRegion1 expires Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds Conditions Actions For each (Integer A) from 0 to 2, do (Actions) Loop - Actions Unit - Create 1 UnitPoolUnits[(Random integer number between 0 and 5)] for Neutral Hostile at (Random point in Spawn Region <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees Set UnitsInSpawnArea1[(Integer A)] = (Last created unit) Set UnitsLeftRegion1 = (UnitsLeftRegion1 + 1)
unit deaths Events Unit - A unit owned by Neutral Hostile Dies Conditions Actions If ((Triggering unit) Equal to UnitsInSpawnArea1[0]) then do (Set UnitsLeftRegion1 = (UnitsLeftRegion1 - 1)) else do (Do nothing) If ((Triggering unit) Equal to UnitsInSpawnArea1[1]) then do (Set UnitsLeftRegion1 = (UnitsLeftRegion1 - 1)) else do (Do nothing) If ((Triggering unit) Equal to UnitsInSpawnArea1[2]) then do (Set UnitsLeftRegion1 = (UnitsLeftRegion1 - 1)) else do (Do nothing) If (UnitsLeftRegion1 Equal to 0) then do (Countdown Timer - Start TimerRegion1 as a One-shot timer that will expire in 5.00 seconds) else do (Do nothing)
and the variables in this are
UnitsLeftRegion1 Integer This is the number of units remaining that belongs to this spawn area
TimerRegion1 Timer This is just the timer used to create a delay between when the last units has been killed and when all units are reborn
UnitsInSpawnArea1 Unit Array This is just an array to hold the units that are created by the loop in spawn units
UnitPoolUnits Unit-Type Array This is just an array of unit types which will be selected from at random. If you made it so as the position in the array increased, the strength of the spawn increased, you could change the loop in spawn units from 0 to x to something like from x to y to create spawns of varying difficulty
Basically this just initializes the unit types that are going to be chosen from randomly to be spawned at map initialization, then spawns 3 random units from unit pool (that can be the same). It then waits until a unit belonging to neutral passive is kills then it checks if it is from the spawn region. if it is it takes 1 away from the unitsleftregion1 variable, and also checks if that variable is 0. If it is, a timer is started. The spawn units trigger will be triggered when this timer expires, starting a cycle. I hope you can use this
thanks alot, it works just fine i only changed the timer thing a bit using a wait command instead and unitleftregion variable as an event if it hits zero.
