Things needed
Warcraft3 TFT
Warcraft3 TFT Worldeditor


1. Spawning system
2. Leaderboard
3. Life
4. Movement (For units (Evil units) )
5. Commands (Kick and Show when air lvl's are)

Spawning system
Create a Rect//region at the point you want to spawn the enemies.
You will need 2 triggers for this one
One that enables the first Set LVL = (LVL + 1)

You need to create a variable named LVL (its an integer) (Dosent matter what name it got)

You need to create a variable Named point_of_spawn (its an point)(Dosent matter what name it got)

IMPORTANT the trigger

                        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_Point_of_spawn)

You gota write the name of your Point variable in (udg_.......) dont remove the udg!

Trigger

Start Waves
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title Waves start in
         Countdown Timer - Start (Last started timer) as a One-shot timer that will expire in 20.00 seconds
         Countdown Timer - Show (Last created timer window)
         Wait 20.00 seconds
         Countdown Timer - Destroy (Last created timer window)
        Set LVL = (LVL + 1)

Nothing special about this first one

Made this spawning triggers so you wont need to keep track of maybe 50 diffrent triggers
My self i think its easyer to use 50 diffrent triggers but it makes the lagg becomes bigger the more evens you use (RECOMENDED to use this big one :>)

This is more like a system. For a tutorial you should add more explanation.

Plus there are quite a lot of memory leaks in your triggers. You could either fix them in your triggers, or at least add a note that they are there, so someone who would want to use this, could look for a memory leak removal tutorial to keep his/her map smooth and clean.

[Sipondo]

Tooo.... muuuuch... leaaaks.....

And maybe add some pictures.

[Skargoth]

The efficiency of the triggers is way too low ....

[dan1mal]

must resist urge to purge leaks.. LEAKSS
and u can just put the entire spawning system in 2 triggers one with lotsa if then else for spawns and one to turn it on of. so kinda useless :S

[Freaky94swe]

Sorry for all the leaks but i had been up for 24+ hours so couldent concentrate, gonna change it soon enough


Edit
removed someleaks made the spawn into 2 trigger

[Dfx_iis_pro]

Well, when i done the trigger according to what you have done here nothing worked.... This need a little explanation on the variables, for example the leader board variables, should they be integer or anything else, cos im a noob at this map making business. Oh and i can see that this post is damn old but could be still more explained xDD.

Wtf? Are you serious? You can't see what the variable type is?

Stop mapping ... naoOoW!

Point_of_spawn = Point
LVL = Integer
killsred = Integer
killsblue = Integer
Chances = Integer

[Dfx_iis_pro]

Lawl,

Well dude give me a break im a nub at mappin, still practicing, if u see my map AOI... that will show that im a nub at mappin.. xDD

------------------------
Okay i done like every thing ther....appart from leader board...wont spawn anything.

Apart from that your trigger just sucks pretty much.

"Set Point_of_spawn = (Center of Spawn <gen>)" should be added to the initialization trigger. It doesn't make any sense to set the point and then remove it afterwards if it is always the same point. Your whole if/then/else structure is completely useless. Use an array to save the unit-type for each level. It should look like this:

Intialization
Events
Map intialization
Conditions
Actions
Set Point_of_spawn = (Center of Spawn <gen>)
Set Unittype[1] = Footman
Set Unittype[2] = Footman

Spawn
Events
Time - Every 40.00 seconds of game time
Conditions
Actions
Unit - Create 1 Unittype[Level] for Player 12 (Brown) at Point_of_spawn facing Default building facing degrees
Set Level = (Level + 1)
