Everytime you spawn 5 units, you can set a death count and increase it until it gets to a certain number like 10. Then if theres 10 death count for that unit, it will no longer spawn units...

btw, this should be in Assistance

Something like this:

Trigger
Conditions:
¤ Whatever conditions

¤ player accumulates at most 10 deaths for unused
Actions:
¤ Wait whatever time
¤ Create units at location.
¤ Add 1 deaths of some unused unit for current player.
¤ Preserve trigger.

Or you can just eliminate the use of switches by doing it like this:

Trigger
Players:
¤ Whatever
Conditions:
¤ Whatever Conditions
¤ Player Suffers At Most 10 Deaths Of Unused Unit
Actions:
¤ Create 5 Units At Location
¤ Add 1 Death Of Unused Unit for Whatever Player
¤ wait [time]
¤ Preserve Trigger


Edit: lol phatdiddy you changed your trigger tongue.gif

Yea I realized the switch was a bad Idea, at first I had 2 triggers, one where teh switch would get cleared. But I figured a better, easier way.

Trigger
Description:
unit spawn
Players:
¤ unit spawn player
Conditions:
¤ Switch "units have not respawned 10 times." is set
¤ Unit spawn player controls at most 0 units
Actions:
¤ Spawn 5 unit at location "unit spawn thing"
¤ wait 10 milliseconds
¤ add 1 razing to unit spawn player
¤ preserve trigger


And then make another trigger like this...
Trigger
Description:
unit spawn 2
Players:
¤ unit spawn player
Conditions:
¤ Unit spawn player has gained 10 razings
¤ Unit spawn player controls at most 0 units
Actions:
¤ Clear switch "units have not respawned 10 times


If that doesn't work than my feeble mind is stumped.

Jet yours will only spawn the units if the player has none at all. But there is no need for the switch, just basing it off the death count or whatever count you are using is enough.

They all have the right idea but umm... You want 10 death of ?? unit and stop the trigger or conutine trigger?

Well heres wut I would do...

Conditons
-Player ? suffers the death of 10 ?? units
Actions
-Create 5 ?? units at 'location'
-Wait ?? milliseconds
-Preserve Trigger
OR if u want it to stop
Dont do anything else

This is how I would make the trigger, Please Note that I have omited the trigger which acts to set the 'Create Spawning Units' Switch.

Trigger
Description:
Spawner
Players:
¤ Player X(Computer Player)
Conditions:
¤ Switch 'Create Spawning Units' Is Set
¤ Player X(Computer Player) Has Suffered exactly X Deaths Of 'Unit'
Actions:
¤ Create 5 'Zergling' At 'Spawn Units Here' For Player X
¤ Preserve Trigger


(Now, if your not using turbo triggers, the units will be spawned every 2 seconds. If you are using TurboTriggers, then add a 1000Ms wait.)
-Note: The Deaths Of 'Unit' can be used for a level counter (if you need it) If you don't need it, just omit the deaths.
