Region Array Spawning Method

[Julian4life]

Hey guys, I'm trying to spawn units from 16 different regions at the same time, but triggering each of the with many different spawns would take forever...

So, I thought of trying to create an array of regions, and use a loop to spawn them.

Problem is, I dont how i can find something to create units in the different regions...

Some stuff i've set up currently:

• Low Spawn Arrays
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set LowSpawns[1] = LowCreepSpawn1 <gen>
    • Set LowSpawns[2] = LowCreepSpawn2 <gen>
    • Set LowSpawns[3] = LowCreepSpawn3 <gen>
    • Set LowSpawns[4] = LowCreepSpawn4 <gen>
    • Set LowSpawns[5] = LowCreepSpawn5 <gen>
    • Set LowSpawns[6] = LowCreepSpawn6 <gen>
    • Set LowSpawns[7] = LowCreepSpawn7 <gen>
    • Set LowSpawns[8] = LowCreepSpawn8 <gen>
    • Set LowSpawns[9] = LowCreepSpawn9 <gen>
    • Set LowSpawns[10] = LowCreepSpawn10 <gen>
    • Set LowSpawns[11] = LowCreepSpawn11 <gen>
    • Set LowSpawns[12] = LowCreepSpawn12 <gen>
    • Set LowSpawns[13] = LowCreepSpawn13 <gen>
    • Set LowSpawns[14] = LowCreepSpawn14 <gen>
    • Set LowSpawns[15] = LowCreepSpawn15 <gen>
    • Set LowSpawns[16] = LowCreepSpawn16 <gen>

and I tried to find a trigger to spawn units at all 16 points... but couldnt find it...

• Low Spawn
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait 60.00 seconds
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 16, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
  • ........what now?.......

If you can help... +REP! :thup:

 

[TriggerHappy]

Create 1 Unit at LowSpawns[Integer A] facing blah blah blah

 

[Trollvottel]

Create 1 Unit At Center of LowSpawns[integer a] facing.....

integer a is a function.

€ too late

 

[Julian4life]

well, i didnt see any integer to set a unit spawn at. could i have directions to find this?

 

[TriggerHappy]

its under For Loop Integer A

 

[Julian4life]

Hmm, could someone design a trigger n show it for me? ._.

I'm having a hard time finding it. 0o

both +rep'd

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait 60.00 seconds
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 16, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at LocSpawns[(Integer A)] facing Default building facing degrees

 

[Julian4life]

oh i see. i made the variable a region, not a integer, which is why i couldnt put it in as the variable.

 

[TriggerHappy]

oh i see. i made the variable a region, not a integer, which is why i couldnt put it in as the variable.

Wrong... Just make the variable a point-type or to a Reigon2Location Conversion.

Didn't read the whole thread;
So sorry if this is useless.

This is what I use for my TD spawning:

• Do Multiple ActionsFor each (Integer A) from 1 to creepSpawnCount[levelCount], do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Wait 0.75 seconds
    • Player Group - Pick every player in inGamePlayers and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set tempPoint = ((Picked player) start location)
        • Unit - Create 1 creepArray[levelCount] for hostileCreeps at tempPoint facing 0.00 degrees
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tempPoint)

creepSpawnCount = Number of creeps in that wave
levelCount = An integer counter to know what level is currently spawning
creepArray = An array to hold the Unit Type of creeps

Hope this helps .

 

[Julian4life]

Ahhhhhhh. lol. I see.

+rep wolfie. and i rep'd you already trigger. 0o



EDIT: Hey trigger, the private message saying i didnt rep you... i did, i tried to rep you again and it says to spread some rep... 0o

 

[WolfieeifloW]

Well you seem happy;
So I'm assuming it helped at least a little .
Glad to help,
And good luck with your map!

 

[Julian4life]

Haha thanks so much trigger. that really helped. lol. Couldnt have figured it out myself.

And wolfie, a small question tho, create the hostile creeps at player start location? Just wondering. Confused me a little bit.

 

[WolfieeifloW]

Oh sorry.
Place the players start locations where the creeps are supposed to spawn.
That way, you spawn the creeps at the players starting location.

hostileCreeps = the player that the creeps belong to [in my TD, it's Player 12 (Brown)]

Picture:

 

[Julian4life]

ooh. i see.

Lol, cool. favoriting this thread for later use. :thup:

 

[Julian4life]

Hey, found one other problem.

I can't make it actually loop, like it'll spawn once, but not again.

My current setup:

Low Spawn Arrays
Events
Map initialization
Conditions
Actions
Set LowSpawns[1] = (Center of LowCreepSpawn1 <gen>)
Set LowSpawns[2] = (Center of LowCreepSpawn2 <gen>)
Set LowSpawns[3] = (Center of LowCreepSpawn3 <gen>)
Set LowSpawns[4] = (Center of LowCreepSpawn4 <gen>)
Set LowSpawns[5] = (Center of LowCreepSpawn5 <gen>)
Set LowSpawns[6] = (Center of LowCreepSpawn6 <gen>)
Set LowSpawns[7] = (Center of LowCreepSpawn7 <gen>)
Set LowSpawns[8] = (Center of LowCreepSpawn8 <gen>)
Set LowSpawns[9] = (Center of LowCreepSpawn9 <gen>)
Set LowSpawns[10] = (Center of LowCreepSpawn10 <gen>)
Set LowSpawns[11] = (Center of LowCreepSpawn11 <gen>)
Set LowSpawns[12] = (Center of LowCreepSpawn12 <gen>)
Set LowSpawns[13] = (Center of LowCreepSpawn13 <gen>)
Set LowSpawns[14] = (Center of LowCreepSpawn14 <gen>)
Set LowSpawns[15] = (Center of LowCreepSpawn15 <gen>)
Set LowSpawns[16] = (Center of LowCreepSpawn16 <gen>)

Low Spawn
Events
Map initialization
Conditions
Actions
Wait 60.00 seconds
For each (Integer A) from 1 to 16, do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Unit - Create 1 Ghoul for Player 12 (Brown) at LowSpawns[(Integer A)] facing Default building facing degrees

 

[WolfieeifloW]

Instead of Map Initialization, do this;
NOTE: This if freehand:

• Low Spawn
  • Events
    • Elapsed game time is 60.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 16, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Ghoul for Player 12 (Brown) at LowSpawns[(Integer A)] facing...

 

[Julian4life]

I tried it, it only spawned once, but not again.
Am i doing anything wrong?

Low Spawn
Events
Time - Elapsed game time is 60.00 seconds
Conditions
Actions
For each (Integer A) from 1 to 16, do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Unit - Create 1 Ghoul for Player 12 (Brown) at LowSpawns[(Integer A)] facing Default building facing degrees

To be precise, i want this to spawn 12 times (from each spawn point)

 

[TriggerHappy]

Do you have any other Integer A Loops running?

 

[WolfieeifloW]

Try this:

• Low Spawn
  • Events
    • Elapsed game time is 60.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer B) from 1 to 16, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Ghoul for Player 12 (Brown) at LowSpawns[(Integer B)] facing...
