If anyone's interested, I have this idea, that will involve similar triggering ideas to TD's (including spawning monsters, levels, etc.)

If anyone would like to help, post here, or email me:
[email protected]

I'm on MSN Messenger too.

tHanks.

Ok cool. Basically, my idea is that there is a Shadow Hunter, and he has numerous types of wards that he can use. Monsters spawn, and different wards do different things, much like a tower defense.

Are you using an IM?

I'm on both ICQ and MSN.
If you give me your email, ill send you the map.

Basically what I need from you is a monster spawning system. Thanks

You can use this email adress Mister-Peepers Email Address: [email protected] to send me map and more info.

So you want me to set somthing up so that when the hero places a ward it creates the next level of monsters like in a td. Do you want the monsters created at the ward or at another point, how many levels do you want how many wards do you want what units per ward?

I can do something like:
If Ward 1 is placed create xx amount of unit-type
If Ward 2 is placed create xx amount of unit-type
<or>

If Ward 1 is placed create xx amount of unit-type=level_Unit_Type
If Ward 2 is placed create xx amount of unit-tpe=level2_Unit_Type

Now with the first one it creates the same units over and over again when the same ward is placed but in the second one it will place a different every time the same ward is placed if a certant event happens. Eather way it will probly take a few hours to do from when i get home from work/school.

Lol sorry I must have described it wrong. What I meant was, have a spawn point, and monsters spawn from there after a certain amount.

ie. 20 monsters spawn, after they are all dead, wait 10 seconds, then spawn the next set/level.

I confused you with the wards lol. I've decided that I'm going to use wards rather than towers.

Different wards will do different things. Eg. the sentry ward will uncover invisible creeps.

Basically, the Shadow Hunter will put down wards and they will attack the monsters.

So this is basically a TD with the SH replacing the builder, and the wards replacing the towers. Except it will be different in that the wards run out after time, they don't stay forever until they are torn down or sold.

I hope you've got the idea now.

Sorry about confusing you, lol.

Well spawning monster look pretty simple to me i don't see where you get stuck? is it your first TD, i am quite newbie too , but i used to look allready done td and learn a lot form other trigger thanks to duke wintermaul and other td maker who are kind enough to not protect their map...
Well the most basic and simple way to make spawn monster is to use the triggerman trigger...
first build an units u call triggerman wich use at least 1 food and make it the smallest as possible it should be like invisible...
in the map ini u put xx s time elapsed kill triggerman.
put an event if player x(comp) food = 0 then creat timer window 30s for all player, etc, show timer, etc , etc...
event: timer expire do action: create monster_ammount of monster_type at center of region XXX.
monster_ammount = variable (entier)
monster_type= variable (unit type)
after u do when units enter region XXX order unit to go to , etc, etc, etc .....like in any TD

i don't know if i was some help...if u don't understand it or if u wish to have more info write again something and i will try to email u if u need...

Lol ABM that didn't make much sense. If you're saying that you reckon I can do this without getting someone to do the triggering for me, then sure, you can email me and explain to me how to do it. Thanks
