How do you Respawn Creeps?

[MidnightGLOW]

Does anyone have a trigger for re spawning creeps? If so please post!

 

[Samael88]

It is not that hard. You just do this:

Event
   Unit dies
Condition
   Put something here to specify wich units
Actions
   Wait XX time
   set temppoint = position of dying unit
   create a unit of same type as dying unit at temppoint
   Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temppoint)

That will respawn the unit where it dies. The simplest trigger around for it.

temppoint is a point variable.
it is there to store the point and then help us destroy it so that we don't get a memory-leak.
the udg_ is beacuse the variable is "created" in the variable editor.
udg_InsertVariableNameHere.

Oh okay, do you think you could give me an exact trigger? If it's not too much hassle.

 

[Galdiuz]

That IS an exact trigger... or, almost. You'd have to change the condition though. Use ''Owner of triggering unit is equal to neutral hostile''.

Why do some people want everything handed to them exactly? Are you going to ask us for every one of the triggers you make? Better that you learn how to make triggers. A guide like the one provided should be sufficient. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day; teach a man to fish and he will eat until he gets sick of fish.

And btw, use Triggering unit instead of Dying unit. Dying unit may get lost with the wait function.

just set the variable before the wait function so it doesnt get lost...

and btw, nice add to the proverb, Curo

Though that variable will be overwritten if anpther creep dies within the wait time.
For this you'll need to use JASS, sorry don't know the code, just thought i'd let you know =)

they ask for it cause they are still learning to fish and wants to see how a fisherman doses it
i will make one in like a few hours im busy atm

So then explain to them how to make a trigger; don't make it for them, or tomorrow they'll just show up asking you to make another trigger. I have NEVER made a thread expecting to get a trigger from someone.

Also, I think Triggering unit will survive through the waits...not sure who I heard it from though.

Both Dying unit and Triggering unit can last waits.
Dying unit is just a slightly less efficient Triggering Unit actually...

If another unit dies, doesn't Dying unit get overwritten? I know things like Casting unit get overwritten. Either way, Triggering unit is the most efficient.

Hmm. Actually, I got confused.
Triggering Unit and Dying Unit are both natives.

Which means neither of them get over-written

That could be true. I don't think it makes any difference tho.

just set the variable before the wait function so it doesnt get lost...

That is the mot outrageous thing I ever heard
The whole reason to set the variable after the wait is so that it does not get lost.
If it was before it would have been overwritten everytime the trigger fires. And I don't think you kill a monster every, say 60 seconds

Though that variable will be overwritten if anpther creep dies within the wait time.

No need for Jass at all. The whole reason of setting the variable after the wait is so that he does not need to use JASS

Finally. Thanks romek:thup:



On topic: That trigger will work just fine. No problem with it at all:nuts:

Wouldn't TempPoint be overridden if another unit dies during that wait?

Here you go:

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Counter = 1
    • Set tempgroup = (Units owned by Neutral Hostile)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in tempgroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set CreepRespawnPoint[Counter] = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • Unit - Set the custom value of (Picked unit) to Counter
        • Set Counter = (Counter + 1)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_tempgroup)

• Respawning
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Neutral Hostile
  • Actions
    • Wait 15.00 seconds
    • Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) for Neutral Hostile at CreepRespawnPoint[(Custom value of (Triggering unit))] facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Set the custom value of (Last created unit) to (Custom value of (Triggering unit))
