Problem with creep trigger...

[Penguin-]

I've set up a creep trigger and its fully operational except one thing.

I have set up regions, and the scheduled time spawn with a condition that only if the region is empty will the creeps spawn.
I want the spawns to be one of three things.
For now i will call them spiders/soldiers/ogres. I set them all to level 8, and made sure they are the only creeps that are level 8 (to avoid unwanted creeps).

So i set up the following trigger.

Spiders Top
Events
Time - Every 90.00 seconds of game time
Conditions
(Number of units in (Units in Creep Top <gen>)) Equal to 0
Actions
Unit - Create 3 (Random level 8 creep unit-type) for Neutral Hostile at (Center of Creep Top <gen>) facing 90.00 degrees

This works, giving me 3 spiders every 90 secs if the condition is fulfilled. BUT its giving me ONLY spiders. It's never creating any soldiers or ogres.

Can someone tell me where i am going wrong??

It will only generate creep type units of the tileset currently in use. (or ones that wok with all) try changing that.

Try putting all the creeps in an array, and picking a random mumber.
OR
Change the creeps' tileset to all/the tileset youre using

1. How do i make an array?

2. I've looked in the OE and cant find anything to do with tileset

Tilesets should have nothing to do with it. Because I currently don't have the WE open (I'm using my Mom's mac, and she doesn't want Warcraft installed), I can only write a JASS script that would work (I don't really know all the GUI array crap). And... you probably don't know how to do any JASS, so I'm not even going to get started (Unless you want me to).

Make an variable:

Name: SpiderOgreSoldier
Type: Unit-Type
Array: Size 3
Initial Value: None

Then do this at initzialisation (or somewhere else)

Set SpiderOgreSoldier[1] = Spider
Set SpiderOgreSoldier[2] = Ogre
Set SpiderOgreSoldier[3] = Soldier

then make a trigger

Spiders Top
Events
Time - Every 90.00 seconds of game time
Conditions
(Number of units in (Units in (Units in creep top <gen>) owned by neutral hostile)) Equal to 0
Actions
Unit - Create 1 SpiderOgreSoldier[(Random integer number between 1 and 3)] for neutral hostile at (Units in creep top <gen>)) facing 90.00 degrees

The "create random creep" action only finds creeps that are part of the map's tileset...

There is some however. The option is called "Editor - Tilesets".

Ah, I thought that "Create random creep" was psudocode.

The WE test function does not actually use random, it picks one and uses that one every time, make sure to enable random seed in advanced, or test it using normal wc3.

I made a variable array as suggested and it works a treat.

Thanks all for your advice.

Do what Cougar said, and chance the Ogres/Spiders/Soldiers to the base tileset that you are using in the Object Editor. That should alleviate the concern.
