How would you go about using a command to set creep respawn speed?

[Astal]

Here is what i have, its not really working, im probably doing somthing wrong.

Im tryin to learn how to work with this kind of stuff hahaha its neat when you do it right.

• Creep Respawn Speed
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -respawn as A substring
  • Conditions
    • (Substring((Entered chat string), 1, 11)) Equal to -respawn
  • Actions
    • Set CreepRespawnTime = (Real((Substring(-respawn , 10, 11))))
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Creep Respawn Speed Has Been Set To + (String(CreepRespawnTime)))

• Revive Creeps
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Neutral Hostile) and (((Triggering unit) is Summoned) Not equal to True)
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • CreepRespawnTime Greater than 0.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Wait CreepRespawnTime game-time seconds
        • Unit - Create 1 (Random level CreepLevel creep unit-type) for Neutral Hostile at ((Center of (Entire map)) offset by (Creep_X[(Custom value of (Triggering unit))], Creep_Y[(Custom value of (Triggering unit))])) facing (Random angle) degrees
        • Unit - Set the custom value of (Last created unit) to (Custom value of (Triggering unit))
      • Else - Actions
        • Wait 45.00 seconds
        • Unit - Create 1 (Random level CreepLevel creep unit-type) for Neutral Hostile at ((Center of (Entire map)) offset by (Creep_X[(Custom value of (Triggering unit))], Creep_Y[(Custom value of (Triggering unit))])) facing (Random angle) degrees
        • Unit - Set the custom value of (Last created unit) to (Custom value of (Triggering unit))

I hate text trigger thats why i changed all the text commands in my map into dialog buttons 10x easier. Like you press Esc then a box pops up with options. I would read a tutorial its real simple.

• DialogBox
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Dialog - Clear ModeDialog
    • Dialog - Change the title of ModeDialog to Spawn Times
    • Dialog - Create a dialog button for ModeDialog labelled 10 secs
    • Set ModeDialogButton[1] = (Last created dialog Button)
    • Dialog - Create a dialog button for ModeDialog labelled 12 secs
    • Set ModeDialogButton[2] = (Last created dialog Button)
    • Dialog - Show ModeDialog for Player 1 (Red)

• Dialog Button press
  • Events
    • Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for ModeDialog
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to ModeDialogButton[1]
      • Then - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn on (10 sec) <gen>
        • Trigger - Turn off (20 sec) <gen>
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to ModeDialogButton[2]
          • Then - Actions
            • Trigger - Turn on (12 sec) <gen>
            • Trigger - Turn off (10 sec) <gen>
          • Else - Actions

Just an example change it if you wish to use it.
