Spawning at a random point in a random region?

[maldruzard]

As the title suggests, I am trying to trigger in spawning units at a random point in a random region (out of a selection of regions, not all of mine would be appropriate). This would be wonderful if it were possible, as I really need random spawn points. Spawning at a random point in the playable map area doesn't work due to it sometimes spawning in the ocean/inside trees/inside a mountainside.

If there is some way of making this work I would much appreciate it

First you should create the regions (via editor).
Then have 2 variables. One integer variable, the other region variable (with X number of arrays)
Where X = the number of regions.
Then at map initialization.
Set Region[1] = first region
Set Region[2] = second region
... And so on.
THEN ON THE OTHER TRIGGER (which would trigger the units spawning) DO.

• Actions
  • Set Integer = (Random integer number between 1 and 4)
  • ************* Integer is set to a random number between 1 and X, so if Integer is = 2 then unit will spawn in second region and so on *****************************
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
  • Integer Equal to 1
  • Then - Actions
  • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Random point in Regions[1]) facing Default building facing degrees
  • Else - Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
  • Integer Equal to 2
  • Then - Actions
  • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Random point in Regions[2]) facing Default building facing degrees
  • Else - Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
  • Integer Equal to 3
  • Then - Actions
  • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Random point in Regions[3]) facing Default building facing degrees
  • Else - Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
  • Integer Equal to 4
  • Then - Actions
  • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Random point in Regions[4]) facing Default building facing degrees
  • Else - Actions

I hope you got the general Idea.

^just like what above said, simplifying it we got

• Action
  • set temp_integer = Random number between 1 and 4
  • set temp_point = Random Point in Region[temp_integer]
  • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (temp_point)
  • custom script : call RemoveLocation(udg_temp_point)

notice that i assign point to a variable called temp_point, since point leaks, we should assign it to a variable and remove it later using

• custom script : call RemoveLocation(udg_temp_point)
