1) Use the "Player - Turn on gives bounty" trigger action.

2) Use the "Destructible - Make destructible invulnerable" trigger action.

It's actually an elusive one. I believe it's called 'turn on player flag' .

Go to www.wthef-wc3.00freehost.com there is a tutorial on it called creating dialogs.

 

[bober]

ok now i read that tutorial but i want a unit certain unit to spawn based on what button they press and im having some problems with it

 

[wthef_wc3]

Use this
trigger 1
"dialog button1 "
E: button is pressed
C:button= to button one
A: turn on trigger "respawn"

trigger 2
"respawn"
E: every XXX seconds
C:none
A: create 1 {your unit} facing point

NOTE THE SECOND TRIGGER MUST BE INITAILY OFF For This To Work
hope this helps

 

[bober]

no i didnt mean to revive a hero i want one to be created for the hero that clicks the button can u help me? thanks anyway i may have to use that later

First trigger - for the dialog;

Events - Elapsed game time is x seconds
Conditions - None
Actions -
Create a new dialog with title Choose your hero
set Dialog = Last Created Dialog
Create a new button for Dialog with name x
set Btn1 = Last Created Dialog Button
Create a new button for Dialog with name y
Set Btn2= Last Created Dialog Button

etc.. until you put all your heroes there... now, to show the dialog:

For each integer A from 1 to (number of players) do actions:
  If player [Integer A] is Controlled by a     Player Controller then Show Dialog to Player[Integer A]

Second trigger:

Events - A Dialog Button is clicked
Conditions - non
Actions - if (Clicked Dialog Button Equal to X) then Create 1 herox for triggering player at <region> facing default facing degrees.

Do that too, until you have all the heroes covered.

ok i no im gona sound like an idiot but i cant freakin find set button ive ran the search and everything!!! lol

 

[wthef_wc3]

its not set button its called:
set - variable
there are two fields one to select the varaible u want to set (in this case your button variable) the second is wat to set it to (you can only use "last created dialog" and it must be right under the create new dialog action)
