Spawn system

From Starcraft 2

The idea is pretty simple: place Points where you want your units to spawn and then use random integers to randomize the spawn.

Spawn system
   Events
       Timer - Every 15.0 seconds of Game Time
       ------- This is the interval of time at which the units will be spawned.
   Local Variables
       Unit Type = 0 <Integer>
       Random Point = 0 <Integer>
       Selected Point = No Point <Point>
   Conditions
   Actions
       Variable - Set Random Point = (Random integer between 1 and 5)
       General - If (Conditions) then do multiple (Actions)

                       Variable - Set Selected Point = Point 005
       Variable - Set Unit Type = (Random integer between 1 and 6)
       ------- The use of If-Then-Else is just to show that both methods work.
       General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
           If
               Unit Type == 1

               Unit - Create 1 Zealot for player 0 at Selected Point using point facing (Ignore Placement)
               ------- Notice the point at which the unit is created is the "Selected Point" Point variable.

                               Unit Type == 3
                           Then

                                   Else
                                       ------- Notice I am not using the integers 5 and 6. This is simply because I wanted those two integers to represent a "No spawn" situation. More empty integers you'll have like this, less chances the spawn system will actually spawn a unit. This is just a personnal choice.
