Help with trigger

[NunuBot]

Hey guys. I'm trying to make a collision event-- Whenever a hero comes within 10 range of a zergling, he is killed. However, I can't say Enters a distance from [Any Unit

Any ideas?

I basically just have a bunch of zerglings spawning and running in random directions, and people have to dodge them. I want to make them die if they come into a close range.

I would actually do it via the data editor. You could give zerglings a passive aura ability which will deal massive damage (ie instant kill) to any heroes near it. Should be fairly simple to make. There are a few tutorials around on making auras if you are unsure on how to do it.

ye ye +1 to daves response. search ability kinda thingy that does damage of "KILL" its an option in their think its with the spell/splash/ options.
beside all that what was wrong with enters a distance from "blah zergling" or whatever? hwat problems were you running into too

I'm just having trouble making triggers in the sc2 editor that I could have made in the wc3 editor...

An example:
Wc3- Pick every unit in (unit in playable map area)
Sc2- Pick every unit in ( ???) It wont let me pick just a region. It's another unit group within a region matching a condition. It puts me in an endless chain of unit groups rather than just ending with (Units in region)
EDIT: I figured out how to do that ^

In the part up top, the problem is that I can't just say Enters a distance from (ANY UNIT); it makes me pick a single unit rather than any unit. Also, conditions are a lot harder to work with in the sc2 editor as well as custom units.

                        Environment - Deal damage using Zergling - Claws (Damage) on (Picked unit) from Zergling with 9001.0 extra damage

Not that I would recommend it... Data Editor all the way.
Still, it's sort of funny to see this in action.

And, yes, this is "good enough" for testing.
Unfortunately, doing this trigger is wayyyyyyyy faster than getting anything done in the Data Editor.

Well...
