Creep Respawn problem

07-02-2006, 02:06 AM

OK well im using this script made by one of the demo maps, but this is that error i get....

function Revive_Creep takes nothing returns nothing
local integer i
set i = GetUnitUserData(GetTriggerUnit())
call TriggerSleepAction( 30.00 ) // This is the time inteveral before the unit is respawned.
call CreateUnitAtLoc( Player(PLAYER_NEUTRAL_AGGRESSIVE), udg_Creep_Types[i], udg_Creep_Positions[i], bj_UNIT_FACING ) // This respawns the creep for Neutral Hostile at it's starting location.
call SetUnitUserData( GetLastCreatedUnit(), i )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Creep_Revive takes nothing returns nothing
set gg_trg_Creep_Revive = CreateTrigger( )
call TriggerRegisterPlayerUnitEventSimple( gg_trg_Creep_Revive, Player(PLAYER_NEUTRAL_AGGRESSIVE), EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_DEATH )
call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Creep_Revive, function Revive_Creep )
endfunction

then the error Line:432 Expected a Name....for this line...call CreateUnitAtLoc( Player(PLAYER_NEUTRAL_AGGRESSIVE), udg_Creep_Types[i], udg_Creep_Positions[i], bj_UNIT_FACING )

ive tried many things, but idk whats wrong plz help =]

Naakaloh	You must have the integer array Creep_Types and location array Creep_Positions in the variables section of your map.

The revival trigger you used there needs to be initilized, it is a very commonly used method for creep revival.
You need a variable called IntVar which is of type integer.

Trigger:

Events

Map Initilization

Actions

set IntVar = 0

Unit Group - pick every unit in (units owned by neutral hostile) and do actions

Loop - Actions

Set IntVar = (IntVar) + 1

Unit - Set Custom Value of (Picked Unit) to IntVar

Set Creep_Positions[IntVar] = Positon of (Picked Unit)

Set Creep_Types[IntVar] = Unit Type of (Picked Unit)

Holy_Human	intvar = interger 0(default) or is it anoter predefined integer?

Holy_Human	and one more thing..the last part of ur trigger...i cant seem to find = unit type of picked unit...is it a unit type array var?? Edit: Nvm i had the Creep_Types set to integer arrays not unit type array...solved thx=]

Holy_Human	ok so almost there...all the creeps respawn where they origionally were, but they only respawn once after that, they dont come back ne more...what to do?

Naakaloh	It might help if you showed all the changes you've made to the triggers you're using for respawn. Also, use the JASS and trigger tags and don't double/triple post.

Whoever made that revival system is not very expirienced as CreateUnitAtLoc is a native and therefore doesnt change the bj_lastCreatedUnit variable.
Replace your revival code with this and it will work

JASS:

function Revive_Creep takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer i = GetUnitUserData(GetTriggerUnit())
    call TriggerSleepAction(30)
    call SetUnitUserData(CreateUnitAtLoc(Player(12), udg_Creep_Types[i], udg_Creep_Positions[i],GetRandomReal(0,359)),i)
endfunction
function InitTrig_Creep_Revive takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Creep_Revive = CreateTrigger()
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerUnitEvent(gg_trg_Creep_Revive, Player(12),EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_DEATH,null)
    call TriggerAddAction(gg_trg_Creep_Revive,function Revive_Creep)
endfunction

Holy_Human	kk that worked shadow...thanks for everyones help/sry for double posting. wont happen again=P

Captain Griffen	Do not use TriggerSleepAction(30)! PolledWait is far better, even if it does have a marginal leak. TriggerSleepAction(30) could equate to anything between 0 and 60 game time seconds.
