Hi, I'm new to modding and this sort of stuff.
I'm looking to try and create a situation where you have 2 sets of units that spawn at 2 different points and converge on a third...
I can currently get them to spawn, but nothing else...
Any help would be appreciated...

Hello TeslaTrooper, welcome to this site

Just to confirm what you need to do:

You respawn to groups of units
Each group is in a specific location (point)
They have to move to a third point
And each group attack the other?

Yes, That is exactly what I would like to happen... It would also be a periodic event.
Thank you very much.

Ok, then it's really simple.

At map initialization, set player 2 and 3 as enemy, using this code:

Code: [Select]

        Player - Make player 2 and player 3 treat each other as Enemy

First define the start point for the spawning process. Let's call them Point1 and Point2
Then in the trigger module, create a new trigger, put it a name (I called it "Test") and select a new event for it (Shortcut: CTRL+E)
Select in the event window, at the left, select "Timer" and in the second list at the right select "Periodic Event" and press OK
Then select the event and in the low part of the trigger module change the value of the timer to the one required (example 15 seconds).
Create 2 locals variables, of type "Unit Group", you can call them "Group1" and "Group2"
Do the following set of actions:

Code: Text

Test
    Events
        Timer - Every 15.0 seconds of Real Time
    Local Variables
        Group1 = (Empty unit group) <Unit Group>
        Group2 = (Empty unit group) <Unit Group>
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Create 5 Marine for player 2 at Point 001 facing (Position of (Triggering unit)) (No Options)
        Variable - Set Group1 = (Last created units)
        Unit - Create 5 Marine for player 3 at Point 002 facing (Position of (Triggering unit)) (No Options)
        Variable - Set Group2 = (Last created units)
        Unit - Order all units in Group1 to ( Attack targeting Point 003) (Replace Existing Orders)
        Unit - Order all units in Group2 to ( Attack targeting Point 003) (Replace Existing Orders)
