How do i make the creeps spawn

[bessomi]

I am having a hard time figguring out how i am supposed to make this map that i am working on.

Its just an ordinary td.
But what triggers do i use to make the creeps spawn?
Like.
-Event
timer expires
-action
create 1 footman at player1 region
create 1 footman at player2 region
create 1 footman at player3 region
create 1 footman at player4 region
create 1 footman at player5 region
create 1 footman at player6 region
create 1 footman at player7 region
create 1 footman at player8 region
wait 2 seconds
create 1 footman at player1 region
create 1 footman at player2 region
create 1 footman at player3 region.....

Am i even close to being right?

You may as well learn to do it right. First, you need to put your trigger in

 tags. Second, if you made the trigger that way it would leak (leaks can slow your map down). What you need to do is set a variable of a point type then destroy/remove the point after you use it for your moving.

[code]
Move
    Events
        Unit - Enters region
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set P1Temp_Point = (Center of Move 01 <gen>)
        Unit - Order (Entering unit) to Move To P1Temp_Point
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_P1Temp_Point)

For the spawning you could just set up your player regions in an array...

Events
     timer expires
Conditions
Actions
     For each (integer A) from 1-numberofplayers, do (actions)
     -loop
     Create 1 footman at PlayerRegions[intergerA]
     wait 2 seconds
     Create 1 footman at PlayerRegions[intergerA]

There is two great guides at thehelpernet. But do you mean for all levels?

Best way:

map init:

set creep[1] = spider
set creep[2] = sheep
....

Other trigger:

E: A timer expires
C: Red is alive = true
A:
- set wave = wave + 1
- create X Creep[wave] at player1 region
- create X Creep[wave] at player2 region.

Creep[] = unit-type, array.
Wave[] = integer, array

that's the easier way to do it andspawn trigger is only 1 trigger. and this trigger is very short.

Also, you might want to remove leak but if you just began i suggest you play a little with WE and then learn about leak removal.

Well what if there is no player?
If the player leaves or so, then the creeps will spawn anyway??

How do i fix that

You could setup all of the spawning points into array-point variables with the array-number matching the players number, and then check the players number when he leaves and disable the trigger which spawns creeps for him.

(That just means you must do a spawning trigger for each player or use some if/then/else actions.)

 

[Don]

If player slot status = is playing and player controller = user then create X unit at X region for X player facing X degrees!

ok?
