Creep Revive System
UPDATED
What is a Creep Revive System?
A Creep Revive System is a system that runs everytime a unit dies that is owned by a Neutral Hostile Player. The system waits an allotted time and then revives the unit in it's original spot.
Is this an easy system to create?
This question is asked frequently and depends on how you want it. You can make it revive depending on a units level * some number or make it just wait a number like 10 seconds. You can make the unit revive at it's original spot or make it revive at it's place of death.
Why are you writing this?
It is a very frequent question and I did not see a tutorial on this anywhere on the site so I am creating one.
Why are you splitting this into two different tutorials?
For many reasons: I felt like it. It will be more readable and bearable if it was split into two sections. Third, the advanced creep revive system tutorial will be pretty long.
GUI/Custom Script Creep Revive System
That is a simple version of the GUI/Custom Script Creep Revive System.
Something more complicated may look like this.
This is a little more complicated and it uses Vexorian's CS_Cache. Notice it is in 2 triggers. The first sets the location of the units and stores it. It then turns on the second trigger which runs when a unit dies it checks the condition of the dying unit being owned by Neutral Hostile. Then it runs all the actions
and waits the Dying Unit's Level * 10.00 (can easily be changed) retrieves the point of the unit and creates the same unit type at the original point of the unit when the map was loaded.
Creep Revival System can get even more complicated and set a revival time for a certain type of unit or a certain family of units. But I will not get into this inside of the "Basic" Tutorial
