I need help creating a trigger where when you MC the "ling"...ling spawn at your base ...same things with zealots, and marines, BUT when u MC ling, any spawning of lots/rines stop...what i have gotten so far it the ability to select 3 units...zealonts marines and lings...MCing them DOES cause the unit that was MCed to spawn units at base and stop spawn of the other units.. but MCing in the future does not cuase the unit to spawn at bass. so it only works once...-_-

any help very well appreciated

hmm i think this should work

*ling spawn*:

\\conditions//
(player) brings exacly 1 ling at (location ur mcing the ling)

\\actions//
set switch : spawn ling ex: (switch 1)
clear switch : spawn zealot ex: (switch 2)
clear switch : spawn marine ex: (switch 3)
preserve trigger
comment (optional)

*ling spawn switch*

\\conditions//
switch spawn ling (switch 1) is set

\\actions//
create ling at (location)
wait (number of milliseconds of there is a wait)
preserve trigger
comment (optional)

then u simply repeat those triggers for other units but always clearing all the switchs that dont involve the unit u are trying to make spawn.

Those switches are a waste. Just set a death count value to when you mind control a new unit and give the other 3 back to their original owner.

ah but if the switch is cleared, they wont set anymore?
so like if i choose ling...and want to change unit...then go to lot...but find out lots suck...then go back to ling...i can MC the ling but no longer get that unit spawn and the zealot spawn doesnt stop

Maybe you forgot to preserve the trigger.
Just try O)MG's triggers, they should work.

Yes, he's right, Death Counters would be so much more helpful.

If you aren't using switches for anything else it wouldn't matter.

They may be true, but you should always try to maximize trigger efficiency in anything you do. Using three separate switches for something that can be done with one death counter (which can also be more than just the three) is hardly efficient at all.

Okay, this topic is going on for way too long on a simple trigger.

Basically, you have one death count, which keeps track of which unit you are spawning.

So I'll show a simple example for 3 units:

Trigger
Players

  • P1
  • Conditions

  • If Current Player brings 1 Zerg Zergling to "MC Area"
  • Actions

  • Set Deaths of Kakaru for Current Player to 1
  • Give all men owned by player 1 at "MC Area" to Player 2
  • Preserve Trigger


  • Trigger
    Players

  • P1
  • Conditions

  • If Current Player brings 1 Protoss Zealot to "MC Area"
  • Actions

  • Set Deaths of Kakaru for Current Player to 2
  • Give all men owned by player 1 at "MC Area" to Player 2
  • Preserve Trigger


  • Trigger
    Players

  • P1
  • Conditions

  • If Current Player brings 1 Terran Firebat to "MC Area"
  • Actions

  • Set Deaths of Kakaru for Current Player to 3
  • Give all men owned by player 1 at "MC Area" to Player 2
  • Preserve Trigger


  • Now you simply make a trigger that simply creates a unit that corresponds with the amount of kakaru deaths.

    What you could do is make the MCable thing a hero and have it
    conditions: player 1 commands 1 raynor marine
    Actions: Creat 1 terran Marine at location x
    and
    conditions: player 1 commands 1 devouring one zergling
    Actions: give all raynor marine to player 2
    creat one zergling at location x
