Triggering random reigens

shocker · 04-11-2008

so far i have

Code:

timer
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        Countdown Timer - Start timer as a Repeating timer that will expire in 5.00 seconds
        Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for timer with title Spawn Time
        Countdown Timer - Show (Last created timer window)
        Set region[1] = starting spot 1 <gen>
        Set region[2] = starting spot 2 <gen>
        Set region[3] = starting spot 3 <gen>
        Set region[4] = starting spot 4 <gen>
        Set region[5] = starting spot 5 <gen>
        Set region[6] = starting spot 6 <gen>
        Set region[7] = starting spot 7 <gen>
        Set region[8] = starting spot 8 <gen>
        For each (Integer B) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set random[(Integer B)] = (Random integer number between 1 and 8)
                Unit - Create 1 Rifleman for (Player((Integer B))) at (Center of region[random[(Integer B)]]) facing Default building facing degrees

it spawns the rifleman in a random spot but i want it so it wont spawn in the same spot .

                Unit - Create 1 Rifleman for (Player((Integer B))) at (Center of region[(Integer B)]) facing Default building facing degrees

Something like that?

if you do it like that the spots well be the same every game. i want the spots to be random.

the problem with the my trigger is 2 people might start in the same spot and i dont want that.

                        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                            If - Conditions
                                (Number of units in temp_unitgroup) Greater than 1
                            Then - Actions
                            Else - Actions
                                Unit - Create 1 Rifleman for (Player((Integer B))) at (Center of region[random]) facing Default building facing degrees
                                Custom script:   call DestoryGroup(udg_temp_unitgroup)
                                Custom script:   exitwhen true

"For each (Integer A) from 1 to 0, do (Actions)" - Will make it loop forever.
"Custom script: exitwhen true" - Will exit the loop it's looping in.

what did i do wrong?

Code:

timer
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        Countdown Timer - Start timer as a Repeating timer that will expire in 5.00 seconds
        Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for timer with title Spawn Time
        Countdown Timer - Show (Last created timer window)
        Set region[1] = starting spot 1 <gen>
        Set region[2] = starting spot 2 <gen>
        Set region[3] = starting spot 3 <gen>
        Set region[4] = starting spot 4 <gen>
        Set region[5] = starting spot 5 <gen>
        Set region[6] = starting spot 6 <gen>
        Set region[7] = starting spot 7 <gen>
        Set region[8] = starting spot 8 <gen>
        For each (Integer B) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                For each (Integer A) from 1 to 0, do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions
                        Set random2 = (Random integer number between 1 and 8)
                        Set temp_unitgroup = (Units in region[random2])
                        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                            If - Conditions
                                (Number of units in temp_unitgroup) Greater than 1
                            Then - Actions
                            Else - Actions
                                Unit - Create 1 Rifleman for (Player((Integer B))) at (Center of region[random2]) facing Default building facing degrees
                                Custom script:   call DestoryGroup (udg_temp_unitgroup)
                                Custom script:   exitwhen true

it gives me a error message about the "call DestoryGroup (udg_temp_unitgroup)" line

I spelled "DestoryGroup" wrong =|. Try "DestroyGroup".

well the exitwhen true makes nothing happen so i redid some parts and got this

Code:

timer
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        Countdown Timer - Start timer as a Repeating timer that will expire in 5.00 seconds
        Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for timer with title Spawn Time
        Countdown Timer - Show (Last created timer window)
        Set region[1] = starting spot 1 <gen>
        Set region[2] = starting spot 2 <gen>
        Set region[3] = starting spot 3 <gen>
        Set region[4] = starting spot 4 <gen>
        Set region[5] = starting spot 5 <gen>
        Set region[6] = starting spot 6 <gen>
        Set region[7] = starting spot 7 <gen>
        Set region[8] = starting spot 8 <gen>
        For each (Integer B) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                For each (Integer A) from loop2[(Integer B)] to 0, do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions
                        Set starting_spot_player[(Integer B)] = (Random integer number between 1 and 8)
                        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                            If - Conditions
                                starting_spot_player[(Integer B)] Not equal to starting_spot_player[((Integer B) - 1)]
                                starting_spot_player[(Integer B)] Not equal to starting_spot_player[((Integer B) - 2)]
                                starting_spot_player[(Integer B)] Not equal to starting_spot_player[((Integer B) - 3)]
                                starting_spot_player[(Integer B)] Not equal to starting_spot_player[((Integer B) - 4)]
                                starting_spot_player[(Integer B)] Not equal to starting_spot_player[((Integer B) - 5)]
                                starting_spot_player[(Integer B)] Not equal to starting_spot_player[((Integer B) - 6)]
                                starting_spot_player[(Integer B)] Not equal to starting_spot_player[((Integer B) - 7)]
                            Then - Actions
                                Unit - Create 1 Rifleman for (Player((Integer B))) at (Center of region[starting_spot_player[(Integer B)]]) facing Default building facing degrees
                                Set loop2[(Integer B)] = 0
                            Else - Actions

it all mosy works but in the game some times it works for player 1,2,3,4 and 5-8 dont get any thing then the next time it might be palyer 1-6 and 7-8 dont spawn a rifleman

at lest now they dont spawn in the same spot
