how would i make this spawning system

  • there are 2 lanes that the units spawn and run down
  • the amount of units depends on how many players there are
  • there are waves and levels
  • each level has 5 waves and on the last wave there is a boss(for both lanes)
  • the next level wont start untill the boss is killed
  • each level are different type of units e.g level 1 is skeletons level 2 are undead units level 3 are orcs...ect..ect
  • the abiltys on the bosses are leveled up depending on what difficulty mode it is on

    here is an example of a level
    wave 1: x skeletons and x skeleton archers
    wave 2: x (more) skeletons and x (more) skeleton archers
    Wave 3: x(same as wave 2 ) skeletons and x Greater Skeletons x(more) Archers
    Wave 4:X (more) Greater Skeletons x(same as wave 3) archers X skeleton casters
    Wave 5: same as level 4 With Skeleton Lord (boss)

well, How does it depend on how many players there are? like if theres 4 players then theres 4 units per person? and for the abilities depending on the bosses, just make it so an ability has a certain amount of ranks, then set the level of it for whatever difficulty it is

Levels would be basically, just setting a round or a level integer variable, setting a timer, when player 12 browns food becomes less than or equal to 0, start another timer, when that timer expires start the spawning, but before you start the new timer, just do Round = Round + 1, then do just an if then else on the trigger, round = to 5, then do, create 1 X.X for XX etc.

spawn multiplied by the amount of players is easy.

and just make it so that every unit spawned has a food amount, and when the player's (it must be a Computer with out aany other units) food becomes 0, start timer for next round..

as said above.

i can make you a demo map if you want.

i dont want a timer that starts after all the creeps are dead

i only want it to happen on boss rounds.... when the boss dies so the players can get a break and buy items ect

EDIT: i know how to do make 3xnumber of players of unit x

i dunno how to change the units after the bossess

Create a trigger with 5 if/then/else conditions. Set it for periodic event, like every 30-40-50 second whatever to spawn units. Now you can create multiple boolean's like, level1, level2, level3, level4 and boss level. By turning the booleans off and on you can check via conditions whether you need to spawn more units or a boss.

If you like this, ill make a rough look on it.

do a constant wave trigger, but when say level equal to 10, have an if statement spawning the boss and turning off the spawn trigger. Then when all the bosses are dead, then re-enable it.

Trigger:
  • Set SpawnAmount = ((Number of players in (All players matching ((((Matching player) slot status) Equal to Is playing) and (((Matching player) controller) Equal to User)))) x 15)


and yeah thats kindof what u'l use for the spawning amount.

EDIT: you'd change the creep type back as you did to change them into a boss.

just have a count for the amount of units that must spawn and if its like a multiple of however often bosses come then divide it so that it spawns the right amount. And change the unit-type normally..

wow that huge trigger has alot that seems unnecessary.

why not just have a seperate trigger that changes the wave?

and then like a much shorter one to send it?

because doing such a long trigger for every level is definatly not needed.

but yeah it looks like it would work anyway. does it work properlywhen you test it?

just a thought but you could make a category "waves" and a new trigger for each wave with:
Trigger:
  • Events
    • Game - Wave_count becomes Equal to 1.00

then 2, 3 etc etc
at the end of each wave you could have:
Trigger:
  • Set Wave_count = (Wave_count + 1.00)

Just a thought to tidy up the length of triggers, especially for posting :p

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    I think I need to split the Sci/Tech news forum into 2 one for Science and one for Tech but I am hating all the moving of posts I would have to do

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
