You have some main unit which creates children units and you want to be able to keep track of these children: In this case, you get the UID when you create the other unit. For instance:
# Creates a bullet object :CreateBullet "CRPLCore" CurrentX CurrentY CreateUnit ->unit <-unit "WBWBullet.crpl" AddScriptToUnit <-unit "WBWBullet.crpl" "targetX" <-targetX SetScriptVar <-unit "WBWBullet.crpl" "targetY" <-targetY SetScriptVar <-unit "main" "Custom2" SetImage <-unit "main" -0.01 SetImagePositionZ <-unit "main" self "barrel" GetImageRotation SetImageRotation

You'd like to find player units that match some criteria: In this case, you can use the GetUnitsInRange function. For instance:
# Finds the nearest unit in range. # Returns the unit uid of the closest unit, or 0 if no unit is in range :GetClosestUnit 99999999 ->closestDistance 0 ->closestUnit CurrentCoords <-range GetUnitsInRange ->unitCount <-unitCount neq0 if <-unitCount 0 do ->unit CurrentCoords <-unit CONST_COORDX GetUnitAttribute <-unit CONST_COORDY GetUnitAttribute Distance ->d <-d <-closestDistance lt if <-d ->closestDistance <-unit ->closestUnit endif loop endif <-closestUnit
The GetUnitsInRange function pushes all of the UIDs of units within the specified radius to the stack. Then, it pushes the count to the top of the stack. If there are no units in range, a single “0” is pushed to the stack. So, you can look at the top of the stack to know how many other things are on the stack, and you know that each of them if a unit UID. A “do” loop becomes useful for iterating through and popping the items from the stack. In the above example, I'm looking for the closest player unit. So, I just get all within range then run through them calculating the distance to each once. Along the way I remember the one that is closest. Note that I could have made a much more sophisticated comparison criteria. I could, for instance, have added the unit's ammo to the distance so that I selected based on a combination of closeness and how much ammo the unit had on board.

You want to find the UID of some other CRPLCore based on the value of a variable: Take the following example:
"name" "Gun" GetCoresWithVar ->unitCount <-unitCount if <-unitCount 0 do ->unit <-unit CONST_MAXHEALTH 10 SetUnitAttribute <-unit CONST_HEALTH 10 SetUnitAttribute loop endif
Here, we are looking for any CrplCore that has a script with a var called “name” that is set to a value of “Gun”. This allows us to add scripts to CrplCores, create a variable like this at the top of the script
$name:"Gun"
, then get objects that have that string value. Since this is an input var in the script, it can be edited by the map author without having to touch the script. Of course the GetCoresWithVar also works with any variable, so you could use it to find Cores that have set some flag, etc.

Sometimes you want a core to be moving in a circle around a point. Attach this script to make that happen. Change precision to improve movement or make it move counter-clockwise (high values). Remove all “asfloat” and both “0 Round” to make the circle one cell smaller downwards and to the right (4 cells as center instead of 1).

The following code will allow creeper to flow around the edges of the map. That makes the map feel like a globe. Best use on terrain, that is seamless.
Add this code to a tower. As long as this tower exists, the creeper will leave the map at the left and enter at right, and vise versa.
The parameters can be used to activate or deactivate left-right or top-bottom wrap.

This script is an example of how to create an emitter that increases its output rate from a minimum value (BaseRate) to a maximum value (MaxRate) over a specified time (RampTime, in seconds) with a specified precision (NumIncrements). All variables are changeable by the user without editing the script.
This script uses Timer0 to track the rate of increase, so the tower is capable of doing other things while this is running (like moving).
The default values create an emitter that deploys creeper every 0.5 seconds starting at a rate of 25 creeper per drop and increasing to a rate of 150 creeper per drop over a period of ten minutes using a precision of 100 increments.

This script makes a “hydra-like” or “splitting” enemy that gets worse the more you hurt it, at least for a little while. When it's not just been killed, it's simply an emitter, but in theory you could add stuff to the emitting part to make it a much nastier beast, or use other scripts alongside it. The other scripts or functions of the beast, if you wanted the “children” to also have them, would require modifying the inside of the while loop in the destroyed function to add in those scripts and any relevant variables as well.
# HydraEmitter.crpl # A basic emitter at first. # Creates an emitter which spawns new emitters in random locations within a defined range when it dies, which themselves also spawn new emitters. # Note that the decay rates are multiplied, so in theory you could make them bigger than 1 and have the rate/amount/range increase with each death rather than decrease. # Note also, the spawn code checks to make sure it's not spawning on void.

With this modified version of Mistet's script, you can create circular terrain. Choose the terrain level (or digitalis, or wall, or terrain override), choose the radius, and even choose an internal radius! This script is applied to a CRPLcore. The CRPLcore generates a circle of terrain around itself of the chosen type and size. The external radius is most important: this determines the size of the circle and is measured in cells on the map. Remember it is a radius, not a diameter. The terrain variable is also important. This determines the height of the terrain that it will change to. The internal radius variable allows you to create a smaller circle within the larger. This smaller circle will ignore terrain changes and is useful for creating rings. If this variable is larger than the external radius, the script will automatically swap the two so it works anyway.
# circular_terrain.crpl # A modified version of MakeCircle.crpl from Mistet # Made by VirgilW # Modified by Clean0nion # ------------------------------------------ # HOW TO USE THIS SCRIPT # 1. Create a square map with odd dimensions. # e.g. 255 x 255 # 51 x 51 # # 2. Add this script to the map. # Go to Edit Map -> Units -> Scripts # Type "circular_terrain" into the bar. # Press Create. # Find it in the list and click Edit. # Paste in this code. # # 3. Place a CRPLcore anywhere in the map. # Edit Map -> Units -> CRPLcore # Then put your mouse anywhere on the map and press B. # # 4. Change the variables on the CRPLcore. # Double click the CRPLcore. # Open the "Attached Scripts" bar, find this code, and # click "Add". # In the new list, double click "circular_terrain.crpl" # The variables will appear. # # "terrain" is the height of the terrain you want to create. # "rad_external" is the external radius of the circle. # "rad_internal" is the internal radius of the circle. # # For example, "terrain"=5; "rad_external"=20; "rad_internal"=0 will create a circle of land that is 40 cells across, and is oh terrain level 5. There will be no gap in the middle of the circle. # # # # 5. Once the variables have been set, save the map. # # 6. Finally, run the script. # Click the red X to leave the level editor and return # to the game. # Unpause the game. # Wait until the circle has finished generating then # pause again. # Your circle is done. # # 7. If you want to, run the script again with different # variables. # # !!! If "terrain" is a value from 1 - 10, that level terrain will be placed. # If "terrain" is 0 or below, void will be placed. # If "terrain" is 11 or above, that level terrain override will be placed. # If "terrain" is "0.1", digitalis will be placed. # If "terrain" is "0.2", digitalis will be removed. # If "terrain" is "0.3", wall will be placed. # If "terrain" is "0.4", wall will be removed. # If "terrain" is "0.5", terrain override will be removed. # If "terrain" is "2.1", creeper will be added that is twice the terrain height. # If "terrain" is anything else, either nothing will happen, or something entirely unpredictable will happen. $terrain:0.2 $rad_external:70 $rad_internal:60 once PlaySound("Retro26") <-rad_external <-rad_internal lt if <-rad_external ->internal <-rad_internal ->external else <-rad_external ->external <-rad_internal ->internal endif endonce if (<-row lt (MapHeight)) @DoRow <-row add(1) ->row endif :DoRow do(MapWidth 0) Distance(CurrentCoords I <-row) ->distance if (<-distance gte(<-internal)) if (<-distance lte(<-external)) 0.1 <-terrain eq if I <-row 2 SetDigitalisGrowth else 0.2 <-terrain eq if I <-row 0 SetDigitalisGrowth else 0.3 <-terrain eq if I <-row 1 SetWall else 0.4 <-terrain eq if I <-row 0 SetWall else 0.5 <-terrain eq if I <-row GetTerrain SetTerrainOverride else <-terrain 11 gte if I <-row <-terrain SetTerrainOverride else 2.1 <-terrain eq if I <-row GetTerrain 2 mul SetCreeper else I <-row <-terrain SetTerrain endif endif endif endif endif endif endif endif endif loop

A customizable method to grab a nearest unit of any kind. Specify what types of units you want to grab, at what position, and with what radius. Strings are used for clarity to grab units that you need, you can delete or comment out units you wont be using once you copy the code. The code contains 3 methods that are commented for use on the battle-field. Contains two additional convenience methods.
