Hello. I was trying to find a way to spawn creeps with just one trigger so i wont need another spawn trigger for each wave. I managed to find an old post in this forum and changed a little bit.

my variables are:

CreepType : unit-type array
WaveNo : integer array

setcreeptypes
Events
Map initialization
Conditions
Actions
Set CreepType[0] = Treant Level 1
Set CreepType[1] = Water Elemental (Level 1) (Level 1)
Set CreepType[2] = Spirit Wolf (Level 1) (Level 1)
Set CreepType[3] = Skeleton Warrior Level 1
Set CreepType[4] = Skeletal Mage Level 1
Set CreepType[5] = Carrion Beetle (Level 1) (Level 1)
Set CreepType[6] = Owl Scout (Level 1) (Level 1)



spawn trigger:
Spawn
Events
Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing start as An exact match
Conditions
(Number of units in (Units in (Playable map area) owned by Player 12 (Brown))) Equal to 0
Actions
For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Wait 1.00 seconds
Unit - Create 1 CreepType[WaveNo[(Integer A)]] for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of SpawnRegion <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees


and KillCount trigger: What i want from this one is when the last created units dies, i want this trigger to add +1 to WaveNo array so next time player types start the spawn trigger will spawn the next type of unit i previously set with "setcreeptypes" trigger.
Events
Unit - A unit owned by Player 12 (Brown) Dies
Conditions
(Triggering unit) Equal to (Last created unit)
Actions
Set WaveNo[(Integer A)] = (WaveNo[(Integer A)] + 1)

The problem is when i kill all the creeps on the map and type start, trigger spawns the same wave. It just doesnt spawn the next type of creeps. I'm totaly stucked here. Any help will be apreciated. Thanks and regards.

you shouldn't use an integer array - unless you spawn seperate waves for each player.
I'd do this - spawns 10 seconds after last creep dies.
Trigger:
  • Wave Setup
    • Events
      • Map initialization
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • -------- Set Creep Types and Amount of Creeps --------
      • Set CreepType[0] = Peasant
      • Set CreepAmount[0] = 10
      • Set CreepType[1] = Rifleman
      • Set CreepAmount[1] = 12


Trigger:
  • Spawn Trigger
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit owned by Player 12 (Brown) Dies
    • Conditions
      • (Number of units in (Units in (Playable map area) owned by Player 12 (Brown))) Equal to 0
    • Actions
      • Set WaveNo = (WaveNo + 1)
      • Wait 10.00 seconds
      • -------- Delete the Event and the Wait and use a trigger to run it if you dont want it to run after last unit&#039;s death --------
      • Set TempPoint = (Center of SpawnRegion &lt;gen&gt;)
      • For each (Integer A) from 1 to CreepAmount[WaveNo], do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Unit - Create 1 CreepType[WaveNo] for Player 12 (Brown) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)


Ask if there's something you don't understand :D Also, I didn't test this.. >.<

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
