You need to go to the building that trains the units. There are separate fields for units that are being trained and units that are being sold (as mercenaries).

Well the WC3 engine is an enigma. Rules usually do not follow logic or reason there.

There is in fact a way, I just tested it out.

Give your barracks the ability "Sell Unit" [Asud]. Remove all units from the list of units sold by your barracks. It should not sell nor train any units.
Instead, use the trigger action:
Trigger:
  • Neutral Building - Add UNIT to BARRACKS with NUMBER in stock and a max stock of NUMBER

to add the units to your barracks. All units added this way can be removed with:
Trigger:
  • Neutral Building - Remove UNIT from BARRACKS

No idea, but it's still impossible to read (we don't even know where the else clauses are ending). Maybe you could try [ code ]... [/ code ] as a workaround.

There is couple of things to note:
1) To get proper indention on your trigger you need to actually put some whitespaces in your code. If you copy the code from the editor the whitespaces should be correct already.
2) Your trigger is leaking memory quite heavily. There are numerous memory leaks which will create lag in your map after this trigger has run too many times. (each run of the trigger takes away some of your memory permanently). Do a google search on memory leaks and how to avoid them.
3) You should not be using "Dying unit". Replace "Dying unit" with "Triggering Unit" everywhere.
4) I would recommend getting the system to work in a small test map first with a single unit type. Then, expand on that and keep testing to make sure things still work out.

    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such

    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
