[Yet another problem] Spawning In Region

[Deso]

Spawn Level 1 Creeps
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Round = (Round + 1)
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Create Round (Unit-type of (Random unit from Level1Units)) for Neutral Hostile at (Center of SpawnRegions[(Integer A)]) facing 0.00 degrees

Round is an Integer variable that I increase every level which in turn increases amout of units spawned. Level1Units is a unit-group.

Can anyone tell my why this trigger does nothing

Edit: Spawn regions is a twelve-count region array.

You dont have an event.

 

[Deso]

I have another trigger that runs this trigger.

 

[Tinki3]

The problem could most probably not be in the trigger you gave us.

Please post the trigger that runs the one you have already posted.

Tried debugging?

I wasn't aware you could debug, but here are all related triggers.

>Trigger - Run Spawn Level 1 Creeps <gen> (checking conditions)

Try running the trigger with 'Ignore Conditions'.

As for the event of that action's trigger, does the timer even expire?
Or should I say, does that trigger even run at all?

 

[Deso]

I'll try it, and yes, it does.

NormalBreakTimer
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for NormalBreakTimer with title Break Time
        Set NormalBreakTimerWindow = (Last created timer window)
        Countdown Timer - Show NormalBreakTimerWindow
        Countdown Timer - Start NormalBreakTimer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 60.00 seconds

Edit:
Adding ignore condition didn't help.

Edit 2:
It must be the way I setup the unit group, because when I just use one unit, it works fine. Any idea what I did wrong with the unit group?

 

[Tinki3]

Try adding the timer expire event to the 'Spawn Level 1 Creeps' trigger,

See if that works.

 

[Deso]

I actually already tried that. I had another post up.. but I've no clue where it went -- I've come to the conclusion that it's my unit-groups because when I just add a specific unit it works. Any ideas on why my unit groups wouldn't be working?

When I do this:

Spawn Level 1 Creeps
    Events
        Time - NormalBreakTimer expires
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Round = (Round + 1)
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Create Round Bandit for Neutral Hostile at (Center of SpawnRegions[(Integer A)]) facing 0.00 degrees

It works.

Edit ----
Also I noticed that a bandit spawns in regions belonging to players who are not playing, how do I correct this?

 

[Ghan]

Not to sound offensive or anything, but this is ridiculous. Why do you need a unit group? You're trying to store certain unit-types, right? Then why don't you use some unit-type variables, perhaps arrays? That way, you don't need to depend on what units are already on the map in order to create them.

 

[Deso]

Erf.. I feel ridiculous, don't worry - it is. I am new at this! Anyway, I use unit-type arrays for bosses, I just didn't know I could use them as a reference to create multiple, random units from it. Also, as for the double post, I assumed this one was ignored because the subject was changed. :banghead:

Sorry, I'm not the most common-sense-endowed person around. I'll try the array and see what I can come up with trigger-wise. I have a feeling it won't work. Also.. while I'm thinking about it again.

Also I noticed that a bandit spawns in regions belonging to players who are not playing, how do I correct this?

 

[Ghan]

Ok. Here's what you should do. Create one Unit-Type Array variable for each level. Store your units for that level into it. Then do this to create a random unit from the variable:

Unit - Create 1 UnitTypeVariable[(Random integer number between 1 and 5)] for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees

See the random integer? That picks a random unit from the array.

 

[Deso]

Great, thanks - Sorry for the slow response, cooking and cleaning whilest I try to figure this one out - Is there any way to incorperate my 12 player array while still checking if the player is there, so I don't need twelve triggers?

 

[Tinki3]

>any way to incorperate my 12 player array while still checking if the player is there

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12:
---Loop - Actions
----If:
------Player[(Integer A)] slot status equal to (Is playing)
----then:

 

[Deso]

You guys really are a god-send for us 'noobs' Thanks, so much.

Edit: Even if I do feel stupid.. and burnt my food.
