To make a long story short, I'm having trouble spawning units where another unit is 
. Basically, i want to be able to create a trigger just like in the game "evolves" so that a unit(s) in my rpg can be created not only at a certain location, but at where an actual unit is.
EX) i repeat myself, just like the creatures spawning right beside the Science vessel in Evolves.
If anyone could be kind to help me fix this problem i thank you very much.

Requirements:
Optional Requirements (that will help the system):
Here is the first trigger:
Here is the second trigger:
- 1 location per player: spawn unit.
- You need to have a unit that is unique to the map. In other words, you need exactly 1 unit that only appears on the map at any given time. If you don't, this system has a very good chance that it will mess up.
Optional Requirements (that will help the system):
- Hypertriggers. (NOTE: Your Hypertriggers MUST be owned by a player that isn't using any waits, except for the Hypertriggers, or they must be at the bottom of the list for a player.)
Here is the first trigger:
| Trigger |
| Description: |
| This trigger will center the location "spawn unit" on the unique unit. |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ always |
| Actions: |
| ¤ center location "spawn unit" on (say,) Science Vessel |
| ¤ preserve trigger |
Here is the second trigger:
| Trigger |
| Description: |
| this trigger will create the unit at the location called "spawn unit" |
| Players: |
| ¤ the same players in the trigger above |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ always |
| Actions: |
| ¤ create X amount of units for the current player at location "spawn unit" |
| ¤ wait X amount of seconds |
| ¤ preserve trigger |

zergling.scx ( 23.91k ) Number of downloads: 12Here is a nice example of using the trigger "move location"
We have tutorials for everything!
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?tutorial=57
You just move the location onto the "spawner" and spawn at that location.
SA, I know you answered the question but I don't like to just give people triggers. I want to help them learn.

SA_Max71: what a waist of triggers. . .
2 triggers and one location per player VS one trigger and one location total.
This may be hard to belive but you don't have to have a seperate trigger to center the location and to create the unit. Also even more hard to belive is that you don't need a location for every player.
This is how i would do it with one trigger.

| Trigger |
| Players: |
| ¤ All Players you want to have units spawn for. |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ Current player commands at least one 'Spawn Unit' |
| Actions: |
| ¤ Move location 'Spawn Point' on 'Spawn Unit' owned by 'current player' |
| ¤ Create one dude for current player at 'Spawn Point" |
| ¤ Preserve Trigger |
