Could you try to explain your problem a little bit better? I can't understand your problem. A bit of punctuation wouldn't hurt either.

Trigger Editor:

Create new Trigger (whatever name u want)>
Events>Unit enters Region OR Time elapsed is 5.00 seconds
Conditions>
Actions>Create Unit of Type (whatever creep u want) at point (whatever region u want)
Wait 2.00 seconds

This is very basic. Please investigate event and action functions to find which ones match best....after all this is your education.

Yeah, clarify a bit more. If Your making like a TD creep spawn or something then I can help you but I'm not sure what your asking.

Here's what I used for my TD w/ multiple levels (it gets complicated)

New Trigger
Event Time - Elapsed game time is 0 seconds

Action Set currentcreep = (name of first creep)

Currentcreep is what we call a variable make it a unit type variable.

New Trigger (for continued levels, this is only for 4 levels because I never finished it)

Event Unit - A unit dies

Condition I don't want to type it out but make a integer condition and make it so when the number of currentcreeps owned by the enemy is equal to 0.

Actions
If (currentcreep equals to creep#3) then do (Set currentcreep to creep #4) else do nothing

If (currentcreep equals to creep#2) then do (Set currentcreep to creep #3) else do nothing

If (currentcreep equals to creep#1) then do (Set currentcreep to creep #2) else do nothing

Countdown timer - start timer creeptimer as a one-shot that will expire in x seconds
Creeptimer is another variable.

What this does is everytime a enit dies and when it belongs to the enemy and is the current creep and there are not any left it switchs the current creep to the next one. I hope I'm making sense bacause I get the feeling I am doing something wrong.

 

[Turri]

!!! I just remembered what I left out! Spawning the creeps !! Okay, so once you finish the first 2 triggers its easy. Just..
Events Creeptimer expires

Actions Spawn x number of creeps for (enemy color) at (center of region x)

maybe he means sumtihng lik ein WoW ( the W3 version) where once units are dead wait about a minute or so and new units apear, or like that other guy said he could mean a TD

 

[Turri]

Well if its a TD its been answered, I wish he would post again and clear things up. If you want them to respawn after a bit make a invis unit who roams the map and randomly casts resurrection on the enemies. I don't know enough about editor to make a trigger off the top of my head that would work but it may not need one.

 

[Bartuc08]

well if theyre set creep spawns all he has to do is set up a trigger that basically monitors those regions and if the region is screaming "hey where the hell did all my units go!?!?!" the trigger will screm back "shut up MoFo theres more on the way" 30 seconds go by and the "new" units arive.

 

[Turri]

Thats sarcasm right? can you do that? Make a trigger like that mean, not sarcasm.

 

[Bartuc08]

well i just put it in terms an ADHD kid, that hasnt been taking his medicine for the past few years and can "see" little floaty things in the air, wopuld understand but basically not that mean but it works the same way, if region A has 0 units then the trigger will wait 30 seconds and creat 3 more units, simple eh?
