Hi, so I'm having an issue with spawning. I looked on these forums and didn't really find exactly what I'm looking for. I'm also relatively bad at trying to do these things first time and I'm working on my first map.
Anyway, I'm making a tower defense and I want to make a boss wave. The issue is I want this boss to spawn units as it moves. So, for example, a Queen that as it walks can spawn custom zerg units or hydras, roaches, etc. I know I could do this easily if I had control of the unit, but seeing that it is a boss wave, I really have no control to spawn the units on my own. I did a quick google search and found a page explaining how to make units spawn from a building. Would I be able to modify that trigger in order to achieve what I want? That would probably be a better question for the Trigger forum, but might as well ask here.
If you need anymore info as to what I'm trying to explain, just let me know, Thanks in advance!

You're at the good place. If I understood well, you will see that it is relatively easy to do.
1 Create an 'Create unit' effect that will be your spawned units (you can choose the number or units created).
2. Put all the effects in a 'set' effect.
3. Create a behavior that will periodically use the set effect.
4. Add this behavior to the queen.
I made an example map to help you understand.

Oh wow. Thanks! I figured that'd be much much harder to do than just that! Again, thanks so much!
No problem, just like my comments!

Ok, I did this and it works fine. However, the units don't seem to be moving from where they spawn. Would possibly know how to fix this issue?
