Creep Spawn trigger trouble.

[BlightWarden]

I can't seem to find the correct condition. I need this trigger >

• (Number of living units owned by player in region) Equal to 0

Here's what I'm trying to do and my problem in detail incase it helps.

I have multipul regions that contain the same unit, (treants). When a region has 0 treants in it, I need it to respawn another treant. The only trigger that I can find is this

• Creep Spawner alternate Copy
  • Events
  • Conditions
    • (Number of living Cedar Wretch units owned by Neutral Hostile) Equal to 0

The problem is that neutral hostile will always have atleast 1 Cedar Wretch, so the trigger will never activate. I'v tried dying unit in region, but if a player pulls the unit out of the region then the trigger will never activate.

So I need a specific path to the trigger that lists generic unit > owning player >region for my trigger to work. I think a "AND" condition would solve this but I do not know which triggers to use.

What I want. When region A contains 0 cedar wretches, create 1 cedar wretch at region A for playerA. I hope I made that understandable. I'm a bit tired and had a few drinks.

Thanks for any and all replies.

"Do Nothing" is useless, 'cuz it does ... nothing!

Thanks very much for the replies. But where do I find this path?

• Actions
  • Set Temp_Group = (Units in Region 001 <gen> matching ((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and (((Region 001 <gen> contains (Matching unit)) Equal to True) and ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Footman))))

lol, I have no idea where this is found and I keep going in circles looking for it.

heh, he made a variable named 'Temp_group' and used the 'set variable' action to get that. its just a few under "do nothing"

Correct and I know how to set variable, the problem is, I do not know where to locate the correct path in [Index]. I also do not know how to find the "AND" function in Actions.


[edit1]
This is what I keep ending up with:

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Group_A[(Number of units in (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((((Matching unit) is in (Units in F1CedarRegion1 <gen> matching (((Triggering unit) is alive) Equal to True))) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) is in (Units in F1CedarRegion1 <gen>)) = (Units of type (Unit-type of (Matching unit)))

Not sure if thats even correct. But I can't seem to find the correct path in value so I cant get the last trigger with adding a third "AND" and if I do that, then I have a empty value. It doesn't end up looking like the trigger by hellohihi.

[edit2]
So, I figured out how to add in "AND" but I don't know how to deal with the value at the end. SO my finished trigger looks like this.

• Untitled Trigger 003
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Group_A[(Number of units in (Units in F1CedarRegion1 <gen> matching ((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and (((F1CedarRegion1 <gen> contains (Matching unit)) Equal to True) and ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Cedar Wretch)))))] = (Last created unit group)

So I need to fix it so either there is no value at the end, or the value works with the trigger so it looks like hellohihi's trigger. But I can't figure out how to do it. I need to get rid of = (Last created unit group)

PS: What variable type is Temp_Group??? Interger?

 

[Komaqtion]

Temp_Group is a Unit Group variable
And it's not supposed to be an array, as i see you've created there :S
It's not supposed to be "= Last Created unit group"
You should just set Temp_Group = and all those "And"s after the "="

Thank you very much! Couldn't figure out what type of variable it is! +rep!
