spawn units

[tek]

i can't figure out how to trigger an effect based on the conidition of the death of a spawned unit =/

example ... create marine/task area marine

marine is killed, so player receives 100 food

hope this helps:

(1) create Marine with Variable0 at 1.
(2) Condition: If "Marine with Variable0 at 1" does not exist, 100 Food. be sure though that the trigger is not looping, but uses the ON and OFF function with a delay of 1.


I usually do this stuff, especially when a trigger is supposed to loop.

is "1" the area it spawns from?

aw, sorry for that. what i meant is the "marine with variable0 at 1" will differentiate it from the usual "marines". you could actually do either 2 things:

(1) to spawn it in an area, so that create marine with variable0 at 1 in AREA. or

(2) to spawn within LOS of an object, if that object (or the marine) dies.

to make things clearer, here's a sample trigger:

1. Area > SPAWN
2. Object > Marine in SPAWN with Variable0 at 1 (MARINE)
3. Object > Marine with Variable0 at 1 (call this SPAWN MARINE)
4. Effect > Create MARINE
5. Effect > Create SPAWN MARINE
6. Effect > Give Food

For continued spawning after NO marine exists:

Trigger: If SPAWN MARINE does not exist, Create Marine, Give Food, Trigger OFF, delay 1, Trigger ON.
