I want to make a trigger so when unit A dies Unit B spawns in its place instantly. How'd i do that?

 

[tommerbob]

• Events
  • Unit - A unit dies
  • Conditions
    • (Dying unit) equal to <Unit A>
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint = (position of (Dying unit))
    • Create 1 <Unit B> at TempPoint for (owner of (Dying unit)) facing default degrees
    • custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

Isn't this doable without calling the temp point?

 

[tommerbob]

Yes but then it will leak a point.

 

[madd_999]

the leaking point is already solved in this example..

so you wont be leaking.

    • custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

What's "Unit A" and "unit b" meant to be put in as? Unit variables?

in this exampl "unit a" would be a unit variable, however you can change it to be a unit-type variable as well if you dont want it to work for a specific unit but for all units of a type.

"unit b" however got to be a unit-type variable, though you can get the unit-type out of a unit if you like.

so in this example "unit a" is a unit, "unit b" is a unit-type though you can basically use both for both.

Rotten was right when he said there was a way to do it without setting a variable:

• Replace02
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman
  • Actions
    • Unit - Replace (Triggering unit) with a Knight using The new unit's default life and mana

Unit A is specified in the condition, and in this example is the Footman. You should change the Footman to which ever unit you want to be Unit A, the one that dies and then is replaced.

The only action immediately replaces the triggering unit (the unit that died) with Unit B, which in the example is a Knight. Similar to the Footman, you are to change the Knight into which ever unit you want to be Unit B.

Some people may think this doesn't work, because a dead unit cannot be replaced. I have tested this and it works fine, so long as you make sure to include that you replace the unit with "The new unit's default life and mana" or "The new unit's max life and mana", then it should be fine.

wouldnt the corpse vanish if replaced? what if he wants to keep it?

 

[BAkil]

I wouldn't know if he wanted to since he didn't say anything about it.
If you do want to keep the corpse there, then use tommerbob's example above.
