Is it possible to give a certain unit type a specific value - like point value in wc3

[X-maul]

I'm creating an income system that, surprisingly, gives resources to a player every 30th second.
My problem is that I want to increase the income value every time i train a unit:
like
Zerg +1
Marine +2
Marauder +3
..and so on..
But I want to keep it as simple as possible, so I want to give the marine unit type a value (1), so that I can just call that value everytime a unit is trained and increase by that value, instead of checking if it's a marine, marauder or zerg every time.

Can you give Unit Types a value in Warcraft 3?

I'd suggest either a trigger with spawn event and an Action Switch containing all the Unit Types, and raising an income value for that player depending on what type it is.
That, or make 2 array with one having the Unit Type and one having the Income value, both having the same key value to combine them.

Is it realy the only way.. so if I got 100 different units, I'll have to put 100 different conditions :S

I'd say Switch would easen the process a bit.

You'd still end up editing values 100 times. Why not through triggers?

uhm, there's no problem in it really, I just like to keep my triggers simple, and I hate having like 100 "If/then/else" in 1 trigger. I just wanted to know if it's possible, but if not, I'll just keep to my current method.

"If/then/else" is really messy. In this case you can use "Switch" with "cases", and it will look a lot more cleaner.

Example:

Switch (GetUnitType(GetTriggeringUnit())) {
case "Zerglin":
set Income = Income + 1
case "Marine":
set Income = Income + 2
case "Zealot":
set Income = Income + 3
...etc...
}
