So I'm having trouble with a trigger thats for a zone control based map im working on and what the trigger is suppose to do is if a type of bunker is brought to a region then it is suppose to make a marine at another region to indicate a bunker has been placed there. Similar to how it was in zone control ultra with the flags. This is the trigger.

My Trigger

Code

A2
Events
Unit - Any Unit Enters zone_A2
Local Variables
Conditions
(Unit type of (Triggering unit)) == Hideout
Or
Conditions
(Unit type of (Triggering unit)) == Fort
Or
Conditions
(Unit type of (Triggering unit)) == Shelter
Actions
------- Player 1
General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
If
(Owner of (Triggering unit)) == 1
Then
Unit - Create 1 Marine for player 1 at (Center of mass_A2) facing 270.0 degrees (No Options)
Else
------- Player 2
General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
If
(Owner of (Triggering unit)) == 2
Then
Unit - Create 1 Marine for player 2 at (Center of mass_A2) facing 270.0 degrees (No Options)
Else
------- Player 3
General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
If
(Owner of (Triggering unit)) == 3
Then
Unit - Create 1 Marine for player 3 at (Center of mass_A2) facing 270.0 degrees (No Options)
Else
------- Player 4
General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
If
(Owner of (Triggering unit)) == 4
Then
Unit - Create 1 Marine for player 4 at (Center of mass_A2) facing 270.0 degrees (No Options)
Else
------- Player 5
General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
If
(Owner of (Triggering unit)) == 5
Then
Unit - Create 1 Marine for player 5 at (Center of mass_A2) facing 270.0 degrees (No Options)
Else
------- Player 6
General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
If
(Owner of (Triggering unit)) == 6
Then
Unit - Create 1 Marine for player 6 at (Center of mass_A2) facing 270.0 degrees (No Options)
Else
------- Player 7
General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
If
(Owner of (Triggering unit)) == 7
Then
Unit - Create 1 Marine for player 7 at (Center of mass_A2) facing 270.0 degrees (No Options)
Else
------- Player 8
General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
If
(Owner of (Triggering unit)) == 8
Then
Unit - Create 1 Marine for player 8 at (Center of mass_A2) facing 270.0 degrees (No Options)
Else

I tried to make it so it would only be 1 trigger for each zone as there are 68 zones and I would hate to have to make 8+ triggers for each zone.

I'm currently making a zone control, and the only way I found to do so far is this:

My Zone Control Triggers

Code

A-2

Timer - Every 2.0 seconds of Game Time

Conditions
(Number of Living units in (Units in (Units in Bunkers within A-2, with at most Any Amount) owned by player (Triggering player), with at most Any Amount)) > 0
Actions
General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
If
(Number of Living units in (Units in (Units in Bunkers within A-2, with at most Any Amount) owned by player 1, with at most Any Amount)) > 0
Then
Unit - Create 1 Marine for player 1 at (Center of A-2) using default facing (No Options)
Else
General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
If
(Number of Living units in (Units in (Units in Bunkers within A-2, with at most Any Amount) owned by player 2, with at most Any Amount)) > 0

The problem is that there isn't really a "unit stays in region" condition.

You could also have a trigger set the flag owners number to a variable, and have a different trigger spawn units every x seconds for the owner of the flag. I'll type that up really quick.

Alright got it figured out and I did it as a much smaller trigger and it works perfect.
