Respawning killed units

Drek-ker	I'm doing a map for me and my friends and they wanted a trigger that when a unit dies in a region they get respawned in the middle of the same region.Any triggers for that?

Thunder_Eye	Trigger: Respawn Events Unit - A unit Dies Conditions (<Your Region>) contains (Dying unit)) Equal to True Actions Wait 30.00 seconds Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) for (Owner of (Dying unit)) at (<Your Region>) facing Default building facing degrees

johnfn	That wont work 100% of the time. You have to set Dying unit to a variable and then recreate a unit based on that variable for it to work, because otherwise other units can die and then the respawned unit will be the wrong type of unit.

iNfraNe	Thats not true. DyingUnit() is a local variable. It is true you should save the unit type tho, cuz the dead unit MIGHT be removed from the game before the 30 sec wait is over.

Drek-ker	i'll do a wait for 20 seconds and see if it works and i'll add the variable if it doesnt work it doesnt matter

Thunder_Eye	Oh yeah also If you just want it for a specific player youll have to add that to the conditions. Trigger: (Owner of (Dying unit)) Equal to <Your Player> and you might want to change the "Wait 30 seconds" to "Wait game-time 30 seconds"

DyingUnit is not a local variable it is a thread variable

Still that method is not safe, cause if the unit is exploded and doesn't leave a corpse, The dying unit will be removed - there won't be any unit after 30 seconds. So Unit type of Dying unit will return 0 and create unit will not respawn anything.

Trigger:

Respawn

Events

Unit - A unit Dies

Conditions

(<Your Region>) contains (Dying unit)) Equal to True

Actions

Custom Script: local integer t=GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit())

Custom Script: local integer p=GetPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()))

Wait 30.00 seconds

Custom Script: set udg_Utypev = t

Custom Script: set udg_Pv = Player(p)

Unit - Create 1 (Utypev) for (Pv) at (<Your Region>) facing Default building facing degrees

Thunder_Eye	Yeah my trigger was very basic, wasnt really sure how he wanted it.
