unit waves in defence maps
can some one explain to me how to make wave of units in a defense map? I can't figure it out at all!
In many defense maps, the maker simply has a trigger that is like this:
Always
Create 5 'Defense Unit' for Player 8
Preserve Trigger
And this will spawn 5 marines about every 2 seconds, however, if you have Hyper Triggers you'll need to use a Death Count Timer to create the pauses in between, or you can use a wait if you know what you're doing.

None.
By waves I assume you mean after all enemies are dead, a timer starts and after the timer is down a new wave appears. This is pretty simple, without hypers.
Here's how you'd do it:
The first trigger spawns 10 enemies and then sets the progress to 1, to show that wave 1 has been spawned.
The seconds trigger detects when all of the marines are dead and when the progress is 1, which makes it only fire after the first trigger fired. It then starts a 30-second (well, really 29-second) countdown timer to give the players room in between waves.
The third trigger detects when the countdown timer falls to 1. It's set at 1 to be safer on glitches, as does the other condition, then it spawns 10 of the second wave.
Here's how you'd do it:

Oh_Man -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.

Oh_Man -- arty's done another vid. he's also announced he's going to organise showmatches with pro, with NO maphacks, so we can see its actual capabilities[2026-9-23. : 10:09 am]
NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games[2026-9-23. : 2:30 am]
Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition
