Player Spawn?

[iTzShiny]

How do i make a unit spawn for the players ingame only?

 

[laxperson808]

map int
if player X is playing
then spawn unit Y for player X
else do nothing
(ive tried using pick every player and is picked is plaything then do but it never seems to work)

Do this

• Map Init
  • Events
  • Map Initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
  • For each integer from 1 to (Your max amount of players playing) do actions
    • Loop Actions -
  • If/Then/Else multiple functions
  • if -
  • Player (Integer A) is playing == to true
  • then -
  • Unit - Create 1 (Unit) for Player(Integer A) at (Position) facing default building degrees (270)
  • else -

The Player(integer a) is under convert players to index - or something like that, cant remember exactly

  • Player (Integer A) is playing == to true

  • Unit - Create 1 (Unit) for Player(Integer A) at (Position) facing default building degrees (270)
  • else -

^ "If" Comes out as Condition? Is this right?

 

[NeuroToxin]

Correct, btw, (unit) is whatever unit you want, and (position) is the spot you want them spawned, but yes, thats how it works, in order for it to not come out as a condition, you gotta copy it straight from WE

Excatly , how do you do that?

 

[NeuroToxin]

oh, right click the top of the trigger (The trigger name) then hit convert to text, then hit paste on here

How am i suppose to change it if i post in here? ._. im a bit confused.

 

[NeuroToxin]

haha I meant in the trigger editor

 

[iTzShiny]

To be clear , i have no idea ._. how to do the things you guys are saying.

 

[Ashlebede]

In the trigger editor, click your trigger's name.

• >>> Trigger Name <<<
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions

And choose "Copy as text". You can then paste it between [ wc3][/wc3] tags (without a space, obviously) and post it here.

Im not actually asking for that im just asking how to Spawn a unit for Players that only in the game.

• //Hand-Written trigger. Beware!
  • Events
    • {Whatever}
  • Conditions
    • {Whatever}
  • Actions
    • If (Condition) then do (Actions) Else do (Else actions)
      • Conditions
        • ({Player} is playing) Equal to True
    • Then
      • Unit - Create 10 {Unit-Type} at {Point} Facing 270 degrees
    • Else

Or maybe it's "Player slot state equal to Is Playing". Something along those lines. Use this with a loop. Not really bringing anything new to what was previously mentioned.

Thanks it works. but

• SpawnHero
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
          • (Player 1 (Red) slot status) Equal to Is playing
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Create 1 Hunter for (Picked player) at (Center of Start <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
            • Else - Actions
              • Do nothing

Why does this Spawn 6 units Instead of one?

Edit: Pretty sure its (Player 1 (Red) slot status) Equal to Is playing

 

[Ashlebede]

You're always checking the slot status of Player 1, instead of checking the slot status of Player A. I think that should be Player - Convert Integer to Player or Convert Player index to player, For loop integer A being the index.

By the way, this leaks. You might want to edit this later on, but this :

• //
  • Unit - Create 1 Hunter for (Picked player) at (Center of Start <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees

Leaks. A new location is created every time and remains in your computer's memory, although it is unretrievable. You'd have to change this to :

• //
  • Set MyPointVariable = (Center of Start <gen>)
  • Unit - Create 1 Hunter for (Picked player) at MyPointVariable facing Default building facing degrees
  • Custom Script : call RemoveLocation(udg_MyPointVariable)

Anyways, that's more advanced stuff. Ideally, you'd set the value of that point-type variable before the loop and remove the location after the loop.

Edit : Realized Picked Player cannot work, for there is no For each player in player group thing. You'd have to use Convert Player index to Player here, as well.

 

[NeuroToxin]

Use the Create 1 Hunter for (Player(Integer A)) at MyPointVariable facing Default Building Degrees

 

[iTzShiny]

• <b>Convert Player index to player</b>, <b>For loop integer A</b>

This i tested and it didn't work But i have no idea how to do this

• <b>Player - Convert Integer to Player</b>

^ I have no idea how to test this

And fixing the leak , i don't think it'll be possible because its in a If/Then/Else Format.

 

[Ashlebede]

I don't have the World Editor right now, so I can't really help you...

However, you can still fix the leak. Always.

• //Hand-Written
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Player(Integer A)) slot status) Equal to Is playing
          • Then - Actions
            • Set MyPointVariable = (Center of Start &lt;gen&gt;)
            • Unit - Create 1 Hunter for (Player(Integer A)) at MyPointVariable facing Default building facing degrees
            • Custom Script : call RemoveLocation(udg_MyPointVariable)
          • Else - Actions

And please remove the Do Nothing, since using that actually calls a function, which means the computer has to search your map script for that function amongst over 15,000 lines of code. Although that is only a split second you save, every little bit helps.

Edit : An alternative, if you really cannot find the Player index to player or whatever, then you can do a For each player in player group, instead.

• //Hand-written
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set MyPointVariable = (Center of Start &lt;gen&gt;)
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All Players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked Player) slot status) Equal to Is playing
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Create 1 Hunter for (Picked Player) at MyPointVariable facing Default building facing degrees
          • Else - Actions
    • Custom Script : call RemoveLocation(udg_MyPointVariable)

Thanks :] . Hmm im kinda new am i suppose to +rep or something?

Only if your problem was solved and I was helpful.
