Making a creep respawn back at where it was set originally.

[dem0n]

I have tried several methods to make my creeps, once killed, respawn where they are originally set on the map. None seem to work.

I tried setting their rally-point to their current position, then have a trigger that creates a new unit at that point, but nothing happens. I can do the if I unit dyes repace <triggering unit> with a unit type of <triggering unit>, but that only puts the creep where it died at, not where it's suppose to be starting from.

this is the exact code I'm using

in melee init:
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Neutral Hostile) and do (Unit - Set Rally-Point for (Picked unit) to (Position of (Picked unit)))

trigger:

Event - Unit - A unit owned by Neutral Hostile Dies
Action - Wait 10.0 seconds
Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Rally-Point of (Triggering unit) as a point) facing Default building facing degrees

-----------

and yes, triggering unit works just fine, dont have to use dying unit, cause if I replace rally-point of (triggering unit) to unit location of (triggering unit) it will spawn the creep where it died.

Any ideas?

after 7 hours of effort, I have figured it out. I have tested it in a couple situations, problems may arrise with it, not certain yet, but this does seem to be working.

First define varibles
c = integer
allhostile = unitgroup
pos = point (array)

Melee Init:

Set allhostile = (Units owned by Neutral Hostile)
Unit Group - Pick every unit in allhostile and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Set c = (c + 1)
Unit - Set the custom value of (Picked unit) to c
Set pos[c] = (Position of (Picked unit))

Trigger:

Event - Unit - A unit owned by Neutral Hostile Dies

Conditions - (none)

Actions -
Wait 120.00 seconds
Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at pos[(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))

-----------------------------------------------------------------

that's it. simple position array. spawns the mob back at its original pos after 2 minutes of its death.

Theres a demo map in the free trigger code that does exactly what your asking.....

sorry, I searched in lots of maps and looked through lots of code and found nothing that worked before this.

Post #21, I believe. It has a bunch of good triggers to use.

Also, a side-note to Ryoko:

Thank you! I was worrying about how to add a fifth race to my New Age of Warcraft, but in looking for this person's trigger, I found you wrote that, as well! I plan to use it, riight after my stupid connection learns how to stay together for more then 10 minutes!

Anyway, thanks again, you may have just solved a very big problem for me!
