monster dies/ create a new one same spot?

[bombernik]

how can i make it so when a monster dies, after "10" secs it respawns a new unit. how can i do this without making many regions and making like 3000 triggers, because i want to make my own rpg. and i am unable to see any of the rpgs already out there with the trigger, do to protect.

Like this:

Events:
     A unit dies.
Conditions:
     (You will need some.)
Actions:
     Wait 10 seconds.
     Instantly revive (dying unit).

doesnt that work for heroes only?

i tried that was a bit confusing, but i want for it to respawn in the same location that the units die, will i need to make like hundreds of regions with triggers?
should i make condition like if "sheep" dies?

 

[SilverHawk]

sqrage: There is one for units as well.

bombernik: No, just use the trigger I posted. The condition would be maybe to see if the player unit a creep or something. You decide.

 

[-bombernik-]

you used the word revive, but i want to create a new unit so it can drop items, it is going to be a rpg. any one that helps with the rpg is going to get credit.

 

[SilverHawk]

In that case, replace that action with "Create Unit". Unfortuantely, I believe that any other item dropping requires triggers.

in GUI
CreepDie[1] = Unit Type
CreepTimer[1] = Timer
CreepDiePosition[1] = Region blah blah ( not sure .. i go home then do )


Event - A unit dies
Condition - Owner of triggering unit is equal to Netural Hostile( or any player )
Actions - (you need 3 variable & 2 triggers )
set CreepDie[1] equal to triggering unit
set CreepDiePosition[1] = Position of triggering unit
start a 1shot timer CreepTimer[1] that expires in 10 seconds
==========
2nd trigger
Event - CreepTimer[1] expires
Condition - N/A
Actions - Create 1 (CreepDie ) at ( CreepDiePosition ) for ( player )
=========

In JASS it could be shorter but iam at school .. i go home tell you more complicated stuff.

im using this trigger for it and taken it from "Ryoko"
u need some variables first
- Creep_Position (Point Array)
- Creep_type (Unit-Type Array)
- Loop (integer)

first of all u must take all creeps types and position with this code (does not lag)

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

Afther taking them into variables you will create a custom script for it like that

function Trig_Revive_Creeps_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer CUSTOM
    set CUSTOM = GetUnitUserData(GetDyingUnit())
    call TriggerSleepAction( 30.00 )
    call CreateNUnitsAtLoc( 1, udg_Creep_Type[CUSTOM], Player(PLAYER_NEUTRAL_AGGRESSIVE), udg_Creep_Position[CUSTOM], bj_UNIT_FACING )
    call SetUnitUserData( GetLastCreatedUnit(), CUSTOM )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Revive_Creeps takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Revive_Creeps = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerUnitEventSimple( gg_trg_Revive_Creeps, Player(PLAYER_NEUTRAL_AGGRESSIVE), EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_DEATH )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Revive_Creeps, function Trig_Revive_Creeps_Actions )
endfunction

in this code above this line defines the creeps respawn time outs
call TriggerSleepAction( 30.00 ) that defines when a creep dies it respawns after 30 secs you can change the walue what evcer u want but 10 secs is too fast

But that will need some more work if you want to create a big RPG for example if your creeps are changing on some spesific events or any levels,

you need to remowe all creeps from map wait 30 secs for posible death ones to revieve and remove them again ect...

Couldn't you just make it simpler?

Event:
Unit - Dies
Condition:
Either
Unit - Type equal to <UNIT TYPE>
Or
Unit - Triggering unit equal to <UNIT HERE>
Or
Owned by player (Neutral Hostile) condition.
Action:
Unit - Create 1 <Unit>

If need be just add some Give Item to hero triggers if you want them to have items or just add an extra trigger for a death drop. Not much simpler but should do it anyway.

normally its really quite simple to re create a dying unit.
but there is some annoying issues:

- When your hero kills the unit, the unit is respawning at same time and you need to kill it again and again. This will couse stacking at one point. and will be boring

- If you dont store the unit's position at somewhere, you need to create loads of regions and loads of triggers that controls that tingie

a unit dies in region bla bla or,
number of living units at region bla bla,
Create another unit ect...

however if unit has moved from this region your code does not work or create bilions of more units ect...
to make this kinda script perfect you need more complicated one then above

- with this code, you cannot create spesific actions like moving units or patroling like FFopenRPG

- the code that i wrote is creating a timer when a unit dies, and when timer finishes respawns this unit at same place when it stored first... If you modify your code your unit will respawn where it dies...

Simply, thats the simplest and the most perfect code that i can find around God bless JASS and Ryoko

i used;

Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) for Player 12 (Brown) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees

but it has some downsides, it only revives units not creatures like "sheep". so i need some help to fix that, also thank you for all the info it really helped.

In the condition, make it an "or" condition, and check if the unit is neutral passive or neutral hostile.
