Hey guys! I'm starting to try and tutor myself at JASS, but I'm at a standstill already.

I'm using the following function in my map to regenerate creeps:

• INIT Store Creeps NH
  • Events
    • Map initialization
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 2.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Loop = 0
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Neutral Hostile) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Creep_Type[Loop] = (Unit-type of (Picked unit))
        • Set Creep_Position[Loop] = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • Unit - Set the custom value of (Picked unit) to Loop
        • Set Loop = (Loop + 1)

function Trig_Revive_Creeps_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer CUSTOM
    set CUSTOM = GetUnitUserData(GetDyingUnit())
    call TriggerSleepAction( 50.00 )
    call CreateNUnitsAtLoc( 1, udg_Creep_Type[CUSTOM], Player(PLAYER_NEUTRAL_AGGRESSIVE), udg_Creep_Position[CUSTOM], bj_UNIT_FACING )
    call SetUnitUserData( GetLastCreatedUnit(), CUSTOM )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Revive_Creeps_NH takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Revive_Creeps_NH = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerUnitEventSimple( gg_trg_Revive_Creeps_NH, Player(PLAYER_NEUTRAL_AGGRESSIVE), EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_DEATH )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Revive_Creeps_NH, function Trig_Revive_Creeps_Actions )
endfunction

Now, I have a couple questions.
A) I will have a number of units that I want on a longer respawn time than the current 50 seconds and don't know how to make an if/then/else that will grab them and pull them off the 50-second timer
B) I'd like it if I could set some of the larger units to have a larger cooldown: ie. (50 seconds + ((Unitlevel)*3) or something. I figure I'll need some sort of "getunitlevel (dyingunit)"... I don't know.
C) PLAYER_NEUTRAL_AGGRESSIVE, sure.... would it be PLAYER_11?
If the function so called?

Thanks for your help!

A) I don't know.

B) You could do like:

call TriggerSleepAction(50 + (GetUnitLevel(GetDyingUnit())))

I think you can get dying unit's levels.

C) No. The "PLAYER_NEUTRAL_XXX" are different then actual players.
Player(11) would be Brown (Player 12 in GUI).

And some optimization:

local integer CUSTOM
set CUSTOM = GetUnitUserData(GetDyingUnit())

Just set "CUSTOM" directly:

local integer CUSTOM = GetUnitUserData(GetDyingUnit())

And use lower case on locals, upper case is usually used for globals:

local integer custom = GetUnitUserData(GetDyingUnit())

Also, try to start using X/Y instead of locations.

Hey, Wolfie,

Thanks for the help! +rep
Now, in trying to answer A) I did a lil' bit of digging; what I'm looking for is something that uses this:

function Trig_Winner_Copy_Func001001 takes nothing returns boolean
    return ( GetUnitTypeId(GetDyingUnit()) == 'n00T' )
endfunction

so the unit gets selected.. but how would I set it so the sleeptimer knows it's this unit instead?

 

[WolfieeifloW]

You'd have to do like;
"if GetUnitTypeId(GetDyingUnit()) == 'XXXX' or GetUnitTypeId(..."
Then run a bigger TriggerSleepAction() for them.

So, I've tried using if/then/else and converting to custom text so I can have a better idea of how to do what you're talking about, but it deosn't quite look the way I think it's supposed to.

Use a real for TriggerSleepAction()

local real Dur = 50
if GetUnitTypeId(GetDyingUnit()) == 'Ex01' then
     set Dur = 55
elseif GetUnitTypeId(GetDyingUnit()) == 'Ex02' then
     set Dur = 60
endif

should do it

 

[Chao]

Okay... this is me winging it ...
Would I need to do the following in the primary trigger?

    local real Dur = 50
    call TriggerSleepAction( Dur )

 

[Rainther]

Indeed. Maybe I should've been clearier on that and add the conditions between them so that Dur may differ depending on special unit types.

Hey, no problem, +rep. I hate even ASKING these questions, since I usually prefer figuring stuff out on my own
