Periodic event, Use variables as the units set em at initalization, for instance
Every 10 seconds spawn Varible1 (footmen?)
Order last spawned unit to attakc move to target area, somthin along the lines of this, u get the general picture? or u need me to write the code?

I know about triggers, but nt Battle.net abbreviations... What's TOB? AOS is Aeons of Strife, right?

TOB is Tides Of Blood, AOS is like a map where ur a hero and u have other teammates that are heros, and spawned units, u make a push on the enemys base, who also have heros and units...like in TIdes of blood...come to htink of it wats AOS mean?

Do you take care about the 5 different spawn location and 5 different units types and each spawn location get independent units type quantity.
I don't know if you understand the complexity of this systems, but if you can help i will be so happy to make it work.
I finally completed my death/reviving systems and it work really well ... he he.

Thank you!

Diffrent Variables for each unit, Diffrent Triggers for Each Spawn location, HEres a example
u need these Variables
Varible1-Unit
Varible2-Unit
Varible3-Unit
Varible4-Unit...Etc...
OK Now for the triggers
Initialization, Set ur variables here
Event-Map Initialization
Action-
Set Varible1=Footmen
Set Varible2=Knight
Set Varible3=Priest
...Etc...
Now for the actually spawn triggers...
Do a periodic event, first the Top spawn location
Event-Every 10 Seconds
Actions-
Spawn 2 (varible 1)
Spawn 2 (varible 2)
Etc....
Then add all those to a unit group varible...
Trigger 2 you need to attack move the last created unit group to Region 2 or watever...Do you get it now? Do a diffrent Trigger/Varibles for each spawn point.

Aeon of Strife was a StarCraft map (One of my favorite SC maps). Then Warcraft started to make them more into mainstream and they have been named after it.
