How you store Units in variable?

[The bezerker]

I'm making my new map village builder alliance i was wondering how you make a certain type of trigger or variable that if Alliance my King dies, the game ends? I tried unit specific events on event, clicked on unit underline, and on the varible section it said "no variable has been generated"... so i did unit select but doesn't help. How the hell you generate unit on the variable please i need help! I can figure out what to do.... any one

Under Specific Unit Event, and whatever the unit field is, you should be able to click a button (I can't remember what it says.) and then it will allow you to select a unit from the map. Is this not working? Do you have the King unit on the map or is it trained/created with a trigger later? It will have to be on the map to selectable. If it is not on the map then you can store the unit in a variable using a trigger for later use in other triggers.

Make a trigger

Untitled Trigger 001
Events
Map initialization
Conditions
Actions
Set King = Mind Boggler 0016 <gen>


In the actions tab - I used Set Variable

It will start as

Set Value = Value
Click on the first "Value"
and click on Edit Variables...

There you will see a new small window with some buttons on the top...

Click on New Variable or Press ctrl+n

Okay now there will be 2 blanks
and it will sorta look like this

Variable name ______________
Variable type ______________
[ ] array Size [ ]


Okay now thats the basic sketch~
so, create a variable name for the unit/building/integer or whatever you need

so lets say King...

So now you have a variable name.

Variable name King___________
Variable type ______________
[ ] array Size [ ]

Variable type is for what type the variable should be...
since the king is a Unit... you just look for the type Unit...

Voila... the other two are more complicated but theres a tutorial
for that by conan... so you just have to follow these steps...

Now for the last part... to set the 2nd portion of the variable...
all you need to do is click on the value and select the unit...
or... you could use triggers like,

Unit - Create 1 footman for player bla bla bla

Then

Set footie = Last created unit...

Hope this helps...
