Respawned Creeps that Drop Items Upon Death ?

Respawned Creeps that drop items upon death?

I have made a map and used the creep respawn trigger codes described in the thread: http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=40039
And this works very well.
Now, my question is: How would a nice respawn-creep-trigger look like, that makes the respawned units to drop items upon death?

Some Ideas or/and help would be great

Just make a trigger where it sets the unit to a unit-type variable and on it's death creates an item.

Hmm, I have tried a lot by now.. but I never undestand by myself how variables work
Well thanks anyway!

If anyone feels like explaining, in a step by step way how this is to be done, it would be great

You need to make a 'point' variable and a 'integer' variable.
When you assign a value (or several values) to a variable, it saves the value for later use. As an example: If I had one hero and I created a variable for him named 'hero1', I could use the term 'hero1' for the rest of the game instead of (casting unit) (assuming its the same character).

Ok, that was a poor, but quick explanation .

The trigger you want should look something like this:

Event - A unit dies

Condition - (unit-type of (dying unit)) is equal to (creep type here)

Actions -
set (your point variable) = position of (dying unit)
set (your integer variable) = Random number between 1 and 100

if (your integer variable) is less than or equal to (put in any value between 1 and 100)
then:
item - create an item of type (whatever item you want) at (your point variable)
else:

custom script:  call RemoveLocation(udg_(your point varibable))

Yay! you're done

Ok, i'll give you a step by step guide. You will need a unit variable call it UnitDrop

First you need this trigger which will spawn the units.

Events
   (Whatever you want)
Conditions
Actions
    Unit - Create one Footman at center of (Playable Map Area)
    Set UnitDrop  Last created unit

Then you need another trigger

Events
    UnitDrop dies.
Conditions
Actions
    Create one (your item) at Position of (Triggering Unit).
