I need help on some Triggers.
I want to create 2 different constant wave of attacking Unit. But, i failed soo hard everytime I need your help !!


First, I want to create 10-15 Units, send them to random attack, once they all die, u want them to respawn and redo the same thing over and over.

So far, im able to create the Unit and send them to their death. But, they wont respawn. I dont know what i did wrong.


Second, I want to spawn 5 units every 15 seconds. And, send them on a random attack. And, redo this over and over.

So far, im able to create the 5 units but with no delay, they just overspawn at the location and the maps getting maxed.
Im also able to send them on random attack.


I use SCMDraft map editor, so easy to use


Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.

What are the triggers you are actually using?

Something like that, im at work so i dont remember exactly what i used.

First:
Condition:
Elapse time 5 minutes
Actions:
Create 10 X units for X player at X location.
Order all X unit owned by X Player to attack X Location.

Second:
Condition:
Elapse time 5 minutes
Actions:
Create 10 X units for X player at X location.
Order all X unit owned by X Player to attack X Location.
Wait 15 seconds.
Preserver trigger.

I think its like that i made them.

These triggers would not repeat, regardless of the fact they are preserved. You would need Switches in the game to have respawns like you're looking for. I don't recall StarEdit to the exact details, but I know something along the following converted to triggers would work:

First wave type:

Start the game with this:
Condition:
Game start
Action:
Disable switch "Wave Type 1"
Disable switch "Wave Type 1 Respawn"

When you want the waves to start:
Condition:
Whatever conditions you need for the waves to start
Actions:
Enable switch "Wave Type 1"
Enable switch "Wave Type 1 Respawn"

For the first wave to spawn and move:
Condition:
Switch "Wave Type 1" is Enabled
Switch "Wave Type 1 Respawn" is Enabled
Action:
Create 10 X units for X player at X location.
Order all X unit owned by X Player to attack X Location.
Disable switch "Wave Type 1 Respawn"
Preserver trigger

To make the units respawn:
Condition:
Switch "Wave Type 1 Respawn" is Disabled
Switch "Wave Type 1" is Enabled
Action:
Enable switch "Wave Type 1 Respawn"
Preserve trigger

To end the wave 1 game:
Condition:
Your condition here to end the game, such as a player has killed 30 units, etc.
Action:
Disable switch "Wave Type 1"




For the second set, it's mostly the same with a few changes:

Start the game with this:
Condition:
Game start
Action:
Disable switch "Wave Type 2"
Disable switch "Wave Type 2 Respawn"

When you want the waves to start:
Condition:
Whatever conditions you need for the waves to start
Actions:
Enable switch "Wave Type 2"
Enable switch "Wave Type 2 Respawn"

For the first wave to spawn and move:
Condition:
Switch "Wave Type 2" is Enabled
Switch "Wave Type 2 Respawn" is Enabled
Action:
Create 10 X units for X player at X location.
Order all X unit owned by X Player to attack X Location.
Disable switch "Wave Type 2 Respawn"
Preserver trigger

To make the units respawn:
Condition:
Switch "Wave Type 2 Respawn" is Disabled
Switch "Wave Type 2" is Enabled
Action:
Wait 15 seconds.
Enable switch "Wave Type 2 Respawn"
Preserve trigger

To end the wave 2 game:
Condition:
Your condition here to end the game, such as a player has killed 30 units, etc.
Action:
Disable switch "Wave Type 2"

Wow, thx alot Lavarinth. I will try this when i get back home.

Thx again

A small question,

If i put "Always" instead of "Game Start" for the switch, will it work the same way??

I believe so, yes!
