Units spawn?

[Ducati]

how do i make a certain unit spawn from a certain building and make them have a spawn duration??

 

[Darimus]

2 Triggers: 1. Unit Group - Pick every unit of type ("certain building")

and do: unit - create 1 ("certain unit") at unit (position of unit (picked unit)) for (owner of (Picked unit))



trigger 2. [event: unit enters region] unit enters playable map area
condition: unit type of triggering unit equal to "certain unit"

actions: wait "spawn duration (like 30.00)"
unit - remove (entering unit)

I have been trying to figure that out for my Death match map I am creating. But Darimus, what if the location is not a building but a region on the map. How do I set that up?

 

[Darimus]

Here's how i'd do yours Hellwolf

Make a Region Array variable, in the start trigger. Set the variables (like Spawn[1] = your region 1, spawn[2] = etc)

then do For each integer A from 1 to (the amount of regions, set this number manually)

Do: Unit - Create 1 (unit) for (player you want to have it) at Region [A]

... or you can make an invisible unit and place it at every spot you wanted, then do the easier trigger that i posted earlier, for the thread starter

Thanks, now I can respawn the items after they been picked up. I guess a shade that flys will do as the unti spawn

You can also have items that were dropped respawn at their locations when they are picked up after x seconds.

Like, say a unit drops an item and it is picked up. 20 seconds later you can have it spawn again if you wish. You just have to set an event up that catches the "hero" picking the item up. Then you just do a simple "wait" trigger to wait until a certain time has elapsed.

I love the War3 map tools, they are so powerful.

That would require either a region or an item there at the start. Either way, you still need regions to create the triggers.

Could u plzzzz show me how the entire could would look?

 

[Ducati]

actions: wait "spawn duration (like 30.00)"
unit - remove (entering unit)
and by (entering unit) do u mean the units that will be spawning??

 

[ChrisH36]

Entering unit refers to the unit that has entered range or comes into that location or was created there.

 

[Ducati]

i can't find the ''wait'' scroll down??

 

[Ducati]

so the entering unit would be my ''certain unit'' right??
