Triga help

How do you make it so that a unit will respawn at a raidom location?
Example 8 diffent locations one ghost, how do u make it raidomly pick a spawn point?

 

[Oni-Sei]

do u mean like any random location or Anywhere on the map?
if anywhere on the map than put
layer 1: :Creat 1 ghost: at :anywhere:

Conditions:
-Current player Commands exactly 0 ‘unit’
-Switch ‘Random On’ is cleared
Actions:
-Set Switch ‘Random On’
-Randomize Switch ‘Random A’
-Randomize Switch ‘Random B’
-Randomize Switch ‘Random C’
-Preserve Trigger

Now what we need to do is determine how many possibilities there are. To do this you take the amount of randomized switches (X) and raise it to 2. X^2 so 3 switches gives you 8 results.

For simplicity I’ll abbreviate the different possibilities. 1 is set and 0 is clear.
001, 010, 100, 011, 110, 101, 111, 000

You will need to make a trigger for each one of these. One of the triggers would look like this

Conditions:
-Switch ‘Random On’ is set (set for all situations)
-Switch ‘Random A’ is clear
-Switch ‘Random B’ is clear
-Switch ‘Random C’ is set
Actions:
-Clear switch ‘Random On’
-Create Unit at ‘Random Location 1’
-Preserve Trigger

Then of course you would have 7 more of these.

*Twitches uncontroably*sry, can't understand what u just said. Plus, which editor are you talking about?

 

[Bolt Head]

Star Edit . . What else?

 

[Zeroth]

star edit has everything but the ability to place any unit for any player.... so... uh... ya.... switches are a very hard and long thing to learn about.....

Randomizeing things properly is a complicated subject. Although if your good at math it shouldn't be hard to figure out on your own. I mean heck I did.

randomizing isnt that complicated

eg: make 3 switches, call them A, B and C
make 3 locations, call these X, Y and Z

the objective is, when A is set, then a ghost is created at X
when B is set, a ghost is created at y
and when z is set, a ghost at Z

First of all, you must let the computer pick where it should be. This is where you make your switches random.

Condition:
(pick always for now)
Action:
Randomize Switch A
Randomize Switch B
Randomize Switch C

with these switches now random, Only 1 will fire off and the others will not be. Now the computer will randomly pick 1 switch, lets say Switch A

now you have 1 of 3 triggers that may happen
Condition:
when Switch A is set
when Switch B is cleared
when Switch B is cleared
Action:
Create a Ghost a X

Condition:
when Switch B is set
when Switch A is cleared
when Switch C is cleared
Action:
Create a Ghost a Y

Condition:
when Switch C is set
when Switch A is cleared
when Switch B is cleared
Action:
Create a Ghost a Z

This is how you make a Create a ghost at a Random place Only Once.

You may preserve the randomization trigger and the create trigger if you want to create more ghosts, but you must clear the switches... and now it gets more complicated, but i could run it through more if you need more help.

Hope that was good enough explaination:rollie :rollie
