Trigger help!

[currahee]

I'm curious on how to make a trigger for this: In the map Battle for Middle Earth there's a trigger in which a city can be attacked if it's not owned by the player and if the building is not owned by the user's team.
After it's been destroyed the building appears again and this time it belongs to the person who destroyed the building.
Any ideas on how to do this? :nuts:
Thanks in Advance

use the event unit dies, or specific unit dies, and have it check if the unit is the building you want, then have it replace it with a building of the same type for the owner of the killing unit.

You may want to give this a try:

Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        ((Dying unit) is A structure) Equal to True
        (Killing unit) Not equal to No unit
    Actions
        Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) for (Owner of (Killing unit)) at (Position of (Dying unit)) facing Default building facing degrees

Try something like this

Events
    A unit dies
Conditions
    Type of Dying unit equal to (Building)
    (Killing unit) not equal to (No unit)
    (Owner of Dying unit) is an enemy of (Owner of Killing unit)
Actions
    Create 1 (Type of Dying unit) at (Position of Dying unit) for (Owner of Killing unit)

Thanks but I got another problem: When a new building is created I assume it goes by a new unit name. Because of this the unit dies, respawns under a new name and if it's taken over nothing else spawns.
How would I come over that? Would I just have to use regions then?

well if you're using the specific unit to do stuff, you can instead use unit variables, and set the new created one to be the unit variable.

The triggers as posted work with anything, pre-placed, created, renewed...

 

[currahee]

I thought they would too- but it seems like it's only working once then it stops working :banghead:

You may want to post the trigger you're using.
Someone might be able to see something...

Maybe did you use "Specific unit" instead of "Generic unit" events??
Post your code, this way we can check the bugs for you.
