[nakahito]

kay... i'd like a neutral creep spawn / respawn ... such as in dota...
but without that function jiberish
...

Set NeutralTeritories[4] = Spawn Creep 3 <gen>
For each (Integer A) from 1 to NeutralTeritoriesCount, do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Set NeutralTypesKilled[(Integer A)] = False


Neutral Spawn Revival
Events
Unit - A unit owned by Neutral Hostile Dies
Conditions
(Number of units in (Units in NeutralTeritories[TempInteger])) Less than 1
Actions
Set NeutralTypesKilled[(Custom value of (Attacked unit))] = False


Neutral Spawn
Events
Time - Every (Random real number between 20.00 and 30.00) seconds of game time
Conditions
Actions
Set TempInteger = (((Execution count of (This trigger)) mod NeutralTeritoriesCount) + 1)
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
NeutralTypesKilled[TempInteger] Equal to False
Then - Actions
Set NeutralTypesKilled[TempInteger] = True
Unit - Create (Number of units in (Units in NeutralTeritories[TempInteger])) NeutralTypes[(Random integer number between 1 and NeutralCreepCount)] for Neutral Hostile at (Center of NeutralTeritories[TempInteger]) facing (Position of (Triggering unit))
Unit - Set the custom value of (Last created unit) to TempInteger
Else - Actions


where's the mistake?
they don't even start to spawn...

you need an event here, to initialize the arrays... do something like Time elapsed 0.5 seconds, or Map Initialization

still doesn't work... i set it to 5 sec past game start...
maybe i should put some neutral creeps there... and set that
once they are dead they are re-spawned as some other monsters?
or should i just make a passive ability to them...
ressurection after 5 minutes... full hp and mana... no cooldown
by the way... how do I make a unit respawn at a pre-located position?

 

[wellwish3r]

in the end you could also just make the regions where they spawn and every 90 seconds or so, spawn a bunch of creeps there if the count of units in that region is 0.

As in what to spawn, you can set certain groups of creeps, like 5 kobolds, 2 centaurs etc. Then the spawn trigger picks a random one of those groups, and creates units of the type stored in the groups at the region where it is supposed to spawn.

That is btw the way it is done in DotA

[nakahito]

thx a lot man... really helpful to me
would have rep.++ you more...
if I hadn't already done that

 

[nakahito]

does it matter how much the unit type variable has the number in the array?

 

[wellwish3r]

does it matter how much the unit type variable has the number in the array?

you mean the length of the unit type array? That does not matter, just be sure to also loop through the entire array.

 

[nakahito]

oh man... thanks... atleast now they appear... everything is great now... thnx
