is there a way to count how many times i created a unit for a player? Heres the deal:

I'm constantly creating units to come out of a spawning area.
I want it so that when a player leaves the game (p12 commands at least 1 unit at the leaving player's designated area) then i would center a location on the spawning place to remove any new units that come out so that the other defenders don't have to kill it. Now I want to know if i can count how many times the units spawned if i have a trigger like this running:

Trigger

Players:

¤ P7

Conditions:

¤ death counter for p7 is at 1 academy

Actions:

¤ create 2 overlord at spawning point

¤ preserve

I know i can count the kills but I dont want to have the left over team mates have to kill them so i want to remove the units instead and then have it count to 360 so i can get the next level started. I start the next level at 360 P7 overlords. Help please?

It sounds like your going about this backwards.

I belive what you should do is have the units spawn for each player. So your trigger would instead look like this but for every human player.

Trigger

Players:

¤ Player 1

Conditions:

¤ death counter for p7 is at 1 academy

Actions:

¤ Create 2 overlords owned by player 7 at location spawn

¤ Preserve Trigger

Then since the trigger is owned by player 1 it wont' fire when player 1 isn't there.

I think thats what you were talking about. But if you litteraly just want to count how many times your trigger has run add an action to make it into a counter.

So every time you have the "create 2 overlords" action you can do something like "set custom score for player to add 2". I'm not sure why you would need this however, I guess i don't fully understand your situation.

Do you mean that you want to continuously create overlords for player 7, and then to stop creating overlords when you've created 360 altogether?

In that case,

Trigger

Players:

¤ Player 7

Conditions:

¤ Player 7 has suffered at most 358 deaths of 'counter'

¤ {conditions to start this level}

Actions:

¤ Create 2 overlords at 'location' for Player 7

¤ Modify death counts for player 7: add 2 for 'counter'

¤ Preserve trigger

To make a trigger dependent on a player being present, design the trigger to be owned by that player (as Bolt did), or have a condition that that player commands at least one unit.

LOL omg duh thanks both of u
