Unit Dies-Add...

[Arcane]

is it possible to make a trigger that does this: Everytime a unit owned by player X dies, another unit of the same type is created, but with X higher defense.

I know how to do the revival part, but how about the part where everytime he is revived, he gains some defense?

 

[Husky]

Of course.

unit dies higher def
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman
    Actions
        Unit - Create 1 FootmanDef for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees

The trick is, you'd need to create a new custom unit with higher defence. He'd be the one created.
But you may mean his defence go up each time he dies. If so please say.

Yah, what I meant was that his defense goes up each time he dies, I was thinking about replacing the unit, but that would take a lot of time making, ten different forms for each unit.

The goal I'm trying to achieve is to make creeps get stronger as the game goes on, so the beginner area does not always have 100 hp creatures. But the more you kill them, the stronger they get.

I see, I did do a bit of reaserch into it, after I posted and personally I couldn't find anything.
But I did just have an idea: There's an ability/item (combined or something, it's under special in the abilties editor), it's called Armour Bonus +1 and there's a whole range of them.
You could try add that to them in a trigger, here's a very brief one:

Event:
Unit Dies
Condtions:
Unit Equal to *Unit*
Actions:
Give *unit* item.

Anyway very brief there you may need more than one trigger for it, I was looking for a trigger like it before like:

Events:
*Unit* Dies
Conditions:
Unit has died 5 times  <=== (does not exist but thats what i'd like, I think it would work for your thing too)
Actions:
Give *Armour Bonus +1* to *Unit*.

You know something like that, I will look more into it when I have time (if you don't figure it out or need help yourself)

Hope that helped in some way,

Thanx for the ideas, I'll work out the rest by myself.

I would use an armour upgrade every time it died. Only problem is you can't undo upgrades if you wanted to make them weaker.

 

[SilverHawk]

You can if you use WEU. There is an increase/decrease armor action under Advanced.

As far as the unit dies five times, I have an Idea for that.
Try this.

Trigger 01
Event: Unit Dies
Action: Turn on Trigger02

Trigger 02
Event: Unit Dies
Action: Turn on Trigger03

Trigger 03
Event: Unit dies
Action: Turn on Trigger04

Trigger 04
Event: Unit dies
Action: Turn on Trigger05

Trigger 05
Event: Unit dies
Action: Give *Armour Bonus +1* to *Unit*

That should work ^... You want triggers 02-05 to be initially off and after the unit dies five times the item will drop.

another way to do it

trigger01
event: a unit dies.
condition: unit type(of dying unit) is equal to "unit type"
action: "integer" = "integer" + 1

trigger02
event: a unit dies.
condition: "integer" = 5
action: "give unit whatnot"
