Title: spawning enemys when trigger is activated
Post by: Ice Man 3:16 on 13 Apr 2004, 04:16:51

Is it possible to have a trigger that continuously spawns  enemys when you activate the trigger, and possibly a trigger to turn off the enemy spawn when you leave?

I'm mainly interestd in the trigger to spawn enemys, shutting off enemy spawn is not as important.

There are some spawning scripts in the editor depot.  You could make a trigger that when activated would execute one of these respawn scripts.  You could also put a createunit command in the trigger, but this would only make one unit at a time. Eg. in the on activation filed:

Code: [Select]

"SoldierWB" createUnit [getMarkerPos "barracks", groupAlpha
For MP make sure you make also have game logic called "server" and this line at the begining of the script:

Code: [Select]

?!(local server) : exit
If you put the createunit command directly in the trigger for MP you will have to put in the condition field of the trigger:

Code: [Select]

this and (local sever)
Hope this helps (you might want to double check my command syntax also).
