Quick Noob Question on Constant Summoning

[HYdroKane]

I am hoping this will work for just Wc3 with or w/out the expansion. I want to put a structure down. IE 'Tent', I want that tent to summon mobs at a certain rate. Once the structure is destroyed I would like the structure to quit summoning mobs.

On the same note I would like to know how to make a like structure 'invulnerable' but just constantly summoning mobs at a certain rate.

give it the ability invulnerable
and the first ones u need a trigger

• Lol
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Godamthing for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing (Position of (Triggering unit))

• Lol2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to (==) Your Building
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off Lol <gen>

Will this suffice?

• Constant Spawn
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • (Altar of Kings 0041 <gen> is alive) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set SpawnLoc = ((Position of Altar of Kings 0041 <gen>) offset by 100.00 towards 270.00 degrees)
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at SpawnLoc facing 270.00 degrees
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_SpawnLoc)

um.. ok. Blooman that one has what you need but if you start the game w/out the building built it will still summon. if you want this to activate once the building is built you can do an if/else/then trigger like this. You also need to make the point variable TempPoint.

• LOL
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint = (Center of YourSummoningRegion <gen>)
    • If ((Number of units in (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to YourBuilding))) Equal to 1) then do (Unit - Create 1 YourUnit for Player 1 (Red) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees) else do (Do nothing)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint)

for the Custom Script you need to type that in. IT IS CASE SENSATIVE! But it will make it leakless

@both of you
Nice try, but I assume he'd like it a little more flexible.

• Tent Spawning
  • Events
    • Time - Every 5.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Tent) and (((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True))) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set SpawnLoc = (Position of (Picked Unit)
        • Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Owner Of (Picked Unit) at SpawnLoc facing 0.00 degrees
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_SpawnLoc)

Who's 'both of you'? Well, if I'm one of them, it's because I don't really have much GUI experience, except for my failed attempts at a lot of things.

All of the ideas worked great. I used a little more simple one and it works great. Another 2 things I am looking for:

1. How do I add items/upgrades to this structure? Say it is summoning a Ogre every 5 seconds. Can I put an upgrade that costs 1k gold or 1k trees to up the Ogres Defense/offense Or upgrade the time between spawns?

2. If say structure is destroyed (5 total and only 1 left) it would end the game as if you defeated the enemy in a normal battle by destroying his entire base.

Thanks for the suggestions on my first question it worked great.
