Recently as i too have become addicted to map making. I am big into rpg's and lotr's and i have a desire to make some. However im having problems with the spawn trigs. im not sure about what to do. ill give my basic layout of how i did it.
Players affected:
Player 5
Conditions:
Player 5 controls at exactly one teran academy
Player 5 controls exactly one Phsy Disruptor
Actions:
Create one marine at location 1 for player 5
Display text message
Preserve Trigger
However im not sure how i can get a countdown timer in so it spawns every 2-3 minutes determining on how i like it. And how do i get it to stop spawning like insane
Well if Player 5 always controls the academy and psi emitter...then the trigger will keep firing.
I udnerstand but how can i get it to spawn every couple of minutes instead of having it spawn simultaneously and nonstop, id just like 1 marine to spawn every 2 minutes, instead of 1 after the other every second.
After the marine is created put Wait X and it should create a marine then wait create a marine...
You get the idea...
If you want units to spawn every 2-3 minutes, you have to do this.
Trigger ONE
Players:
Player 5
Conditions:
Player 5 commands "whatever"
Actions:
Set Countdown timer:add "how much time"
TRIGGER TWO
Players:
Player 5
Conditions:
Countdown timer is exactly 0
Actions:
Create "whatever number" "unit" at "location"
Set countdowntimer:add how much time you want.
Preserver Trigger
You need to set a range for countdown time conditions like "less than 3" and "more than 0"
Thx a lot guys, it works now, i apreciate the help
