"Line-Spawn" help?

[Zorve]

yea, i need some tips how to make a spawn. ^^

I know how to make a spawn that creates a footman/min but, how do i create a spawn that for example creates footmans on the hole right side, and then they make there way to the left side. While they move they walk in a "line".

shall i make a lots of small spawn areas and then order them to move to ther other side, or what is the best way?

Thanks.

interesting

You mean in the same region? You could pinpoint location on same spawn with offsets, just move your mouse cursor to the region where you want your units to spawn and check the X, Y, Z in the left down corner and put those as offset.

Your idea with multiple regions is the simplest, that way you create them in the center and just order them to move to another region.

When I want to use spawns to walk in not-ordinary fashion I use units to move to random point in region. You can spawn units in small regions and then order them to some random point to the left or right where you like them to move. Its more fun because they randomly pick a position to move and it looks more unpredictable.

I think that clears it up. :thup:
Cheers

Thats a trigger a friend of me ToS-Master did for me it's really small and effective. Use that, if theres any questions just ask

The new round could be effectivized by making it an array then Set Spawned Unit[Round] Abd propably even more effectivized with having the spawning in same trigger.
