Enemy Respawn, Random Positions?

[Matemeo]

In the map I'm making I want enemies that die, to be respawned, in a random spot, inside of 1 big region. So..If I was to kill Enemy 1, then I would want him to respawn somewhere random inside the region, is this possible? Would hopefully like to stick to GUI. Thanks in advance.

Dont have WE open but something like this:

Event- A Unit Dies

Condition- Unit Equal to YOUR UNIT

Action- Create 1 YOUR UNIT for YOUR PLAYER In Random Point in Region YOUR REGION Facing ..... Degrees

Set a temporary point var to a random point in the big region then destroy it after spawning, because that trigger is going to trigger a hell of a lot, and you don't want a leak in a trigger like that.

I once designed a respawn trigger that went something like this. At init you set all possible regions the unit can respawn in to a array variable like this. And its no good to use big regions because the unit may end up somewhere unaccessible.

Set ReSpawnRegions[1] = Region 001
Set RespawnRegions[2] = Region 002

Then create a integer variable which tracks the amount of enemies alive. Set it to the number of alive at init.

E A Unit Dies
C Unit is Creepy = True
A Set CreepyCount = CreepyCount - 1

Then a periodic trigger which will respawn units if there is too little.

E Ever 5 seconds
A
If 
CreepyCount < 90
    Then 
    For Each Integer from 1 to (total number of respawn regions)
       Loop - Actions
       If 
       Initeger Comparison - (Number of Units Matching Condition (Matching Unit) is a hero = true) in RespawnRegion[A] = 0
       Integer Comparison - (Number of Units Matching Condition (Matching Unit) is creepy = true) in RespawnRegion[A] < 5
             Then
             Unit - Create 1 CreepyThing at Random Point in RespawnRegion[A]
             Else
             Do Nothin

It would go through all of the possible respawn regions and make sure that A - there is no player there at the moment and B - theres not too many creeps there already. Its bad to respawn a unit while a player is there, makes you look like a noob. And the method is filled with memory leaks, i'd patch all them leaks up.

That trigger won't stop if the creepycount goes below 90; add a creepycount = creepycount + 1 in the trigger.

Ah, this clears up all my problems, thanks alot.

Yeah forgot about that.
