[NoName (TM)]

Um how do u make a unit turn into a variable so i can use it in a trigger like create item for hero<<< I opened up some maps n "hero" is replaced by "name of hero" <gen>. How do u do make that variable?

That was a little hard to understand exactally what you need from us as in a awnser. Can you please try re wording it or providing us with a sinario to go off of.

Also if you got ne triggers you had tried making yourself post that too ok Thanks.

Unit - A unit comes within 256.00 of Anub'arak 0045 <gen>

I wanna make something like that... (Hero name 0045 <gen>)

i think he's asking how to make variables?

go into the trigger editor, along the top you see File, Edit, New, Module, Window
below that theres a blank piece of paper (new), a folder (open) a disk (save), scissors (cut), 2 pieces of paper (copy), a clipboard (paste), arrow pointing to left (undo), arrow pointing right (redo), and then a yellow X (Variables)

click on the yellow X
then the variables window opens. click on the green "+X" to make a new variable, name it what you want, and in your case, make it a unit variable. then in triggers you have to set your unit variable equal to some unit. then you can use that variable inplace of (hero name 0012 <GEN>)

Well for that matter you just made one

If you want to add a item to the hero getting neer that one hero just add in the action, I dont remember the name exactally but I know you can add items to heros.

how do u make a variable equal to a unit in the triggers? ( can u put the steps to do)?
ex.
1. Go to event, then choose ____________
2. Go to condition, then choose ___________
3. Go to action, then choose ____________

or something like that

Ohhh, ok I get it.

If you go into the variable editor (not at w.e so I cant exactally say how to get there) then add a variable with type of Unit and leave rest as default then save that and in a trigger you want to use this in just add in:
Set (our variable) = Unit of our choice

then when we need to use that unit we just say in the trigger to that variable.

I can give and better example and info when im home in 3 hours.
