A trigger that I don't know how to make! :(

[Fulgore]

Well it seemed easy to do at first, but I soon realized it wasn't easy for me. In my map I have units that spawn and it will spawn more when the amount of them equal 0.

But that's not the hard part , but the part that comes up is when I want them to patrol/attack ground a random player/player hero. Now I was gonna try doing the attack move to random unit of type, BUT there are 4 possible heroes and they're all different so what do I do for this?

Thanks ahead for any help

Make a Unit-Group of (Units in (Playable map area)), and just filter out all but the heroes, ((Matching unit) is A Hero Equal to True)

Note: I'm at school, so don't have WE here XD

*I dont really get the question
*this is my answer based on what i understood
-------
E: a unit dies
C: all units of (Unit Group) are dead equal to true
A: create (unit) in (region A)
:issue (last created unit) to random point
--------

i hope i got it right....u want a group of units patrol after spawning and attack one of the heroes(4 different)? then it is...

E: a unit is created
C: ---
A: pick every unit in playable map area matching unit is a hero equal to false and do....and then you tell where they shall go^^e.g. move/attack random unit owned by player X matching unit is a hero equal to true...or order them to move(/attack) to some areas and if they see a hero then attacking.

note: im writing from a friend's computer so sry.....he dont plays wc3.

Your writing freehand? Have you seen MY freehand? I spend half an hour writing out this huge spell code which I could easily code via warcraft 3 trigger editor. I'm quite simply only doing it to improve my GUI typing speed. I find it rather lazy (no offense) how people type:
pick every unit in playable map area and kill picked unit
whilst they can spend a little more time typing:
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Playable map Area) and do - Unit - Kill (Picked Unit) Before we argue, I am only putting forward my personal opinion.



One method is to use the Fortress Survival method which is I think giving units 99999 aquisition range (but not attack range) and making them see the entire map.

put each hero into a vairable which has an array of how many heros you will have on the map, u said 4.

just do it to

Pick every unit --your unit-- in playable map area and picked unit attack move to Hero[math random between 1-4]

Hero being a unit variable which you will store each of your heros into.

Hope that helped.

I find adding all the heroes to a group via:

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Playable Map Area) matching (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and do - Unit group - Add (Picked unit) to <Your unit group here>.

...and then simply ordering the creeps to attack move to a random one via the:

Unit - Issue order targeting a point
which becomes
Unit - Order unit to Attack-Move to (Position of (Random unit in (Unit group)))

...is more efficient than adding every hero to a variable.
Also please note that the wording / brackets given in the above triggers might not be perfectly accurate. I'm not that great with freehand GUI .

Well the spawning thing was just extra information I guess I didn't really need to put in. All I want is my spawn units to randomly attack/move to a random hero out of the players on the map and there's 4 possible hero types.

I did think of this later on, but does that end up getting them stuck anywhere? Or is it just as effective as the trigger method that's being suggested by the other posters?
