Unit Spawning Problem

[Xebarsis]

In my map, every time you die you respawn on a random point in the playable map area. However, there are four regions I NEVER want a unit to respawn in.

I have some conditions that are supposed to prevent this, but units are still occasionally spawning in the regions and I'm not sure why:

• Spawner
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
  • Set ThePoint = (Random point in (Playable map area))
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
        • Conditions
          • (EastCOP <gen> contains ThePoint) Equal to True
          • (WestCOP <gen> contains ThePoint) Equal to True
          • (NorthCOP <gen> contains ThePoint) Equal to True
          • (SouthCOP <gen> contains ThePoint) Equal to True
    • Then - Actions
      • Trigger - Run (This trigger) (ignoring conditions)
    • Else - Actions
      • Unit - Create 1 Peasant for (Owner of (Dying unit)) at ThePoint facing Default building facing degrees

does the Run (This trigger) (ignoring conditions)
have anything to do with it?

Also make the part with the conditions in a Or - conditions

Your checking if ThePoint is in ALL of those regions at the same time, i suggest you put them as Or

Set ThePoint = (Random point in (Playable map area))
Set Integer = 0
For loop Integer A from 1 to 4 do...
   Loop - Actions
      If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          If - Conditions
              (YourRegion[Integer A] contains ThePoint) Equal to True
          Then - Actions
              Set Integer = Integer + 1
          Else - Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
   If - Conditions
      Integer Equal to 4
   Then - Actions
      Trigger - Run (This trigger) (ignoring conditions)
   Else - Actions
      Unit - Create 1 Peasant for (Owner of (Dying unit)) at ThePoint facing Default building facing degrees

Not sure how much difference does this make, but worth a try. Hope it doesn't cause critical error.

Edit:
You need to set all your regions to arrayed variables.

I changed it to checking conditions, and everything is already in an "Or" condition.

• Spawner
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
  • Set ThePoint = (Random point in (Playable map area))
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
        • Conditions
          • (EastCOP <gen> contains ThePoint) Equal to True
          • (WestCOP <gen> contains ThePoint) Equal to True
          • (NorthCOP <gen> contains ThePoint) Equal to True
          • (SouthCOP <gen> contains ThePoint) Equal to True
    • Then - Actions
      • Trigger - Run (This trigger) (checking conditions)
    • Else - Actions
      • Unit - Create 1 Peasant for (Owner of (Dying unit)) at ThePoint facing Default building facing degrees

Units are can still spawn in the four regions.

Edit: Okay, it turns out that when they do spawn in the regions, it's only the very edge. So, I can just make four more regions that are just outside the boundaries of the current regions I have to negate this. Thanks for your help.

The Checking and Ignoring conditions is USELESS as it doesnt apply to if's.

Just something to note, but if you run the trigger a second time, how does the game know who the (Owner of (Dying Unit)) is? Unless im being rather stupid, there isn't a Dying Unit if its run another time.
