Variable Help

Hello, I am a new member on this website and I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong place. I have exhausted all solutions that I can think of. Anyway, this is my problem:

In my map there is a builder who will build structures symbolizing units in Region A. I need help to create a variable (and using it in a trigger) that will match the structure with a unit and spawn x amounts of this kind of unit in Region B. This type of unit building/spawning can be seen in the Blood Tournament map.

Just an example of what I would like to see happen:
Player 1 builds 1 Footman (Building) in Region A. When the Timer expires create 2 Footman in Region B. Or Player 1 builds 2 Footman (Buildings) in Region A. When the Timer expires create 4 Footman in Region B.
All help is very much appreciated and thank you very much in advance, if any of this is unclear I will be watching the thread closely to answer any questions.

You dont need to register the buildings in the area when they are built. When the timer runs out simply iterate over all units within region A and spawn units in region B accordingly to the unit type.

Thank you for the response. That makes sense, I guess I was over complicating it. Any Idea on how I could multiply them though?

What exactly do you want to multiply? I dont understand the question.

Im sorry, the multiplying thing was just me being dumb. But how would I " iterate over all units within region A"?
To iterate would mean to use something like the Pick Every Unit loop. But seeing your problem, I was thinking this:
Trigger:
  • Buildspawn
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Finishes construction
    • Conditions
      • (Building Region <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to True
    • Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman (Building, 3)
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit - Create 3 Footman for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Center of Spawn Region <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
        • Else - Actions

Though I would change the Point Value of the "building" units the Object Editor to reflect how many units it is supposed to spawn, then replace the Create 3 Footman with Create (Point-Value of Footman).

In pseudo-code it might look like this: (I dont have the editor installed on this pc)
Code:
set TmpGrp = units within (region A) matching ((matching unit) is alive == true)
for each unit in unit-group TmpGrp do action
    ...
end
custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_TmpGrp)

This is exactly what I needed, you have been very helpful! Thank you so much! 1 more question, is there any way to reward somebody for being helpful on this sight? Kind of like +rep?

The forum just updated, and I haven't quite figured out where all the buttons went yet. I think the rep system is still under construction, though.

Theres a like button right next to the quote and reply buttons at the lower right.
But I dont care about that.

When you edit the unit in the Object Editor, there's a field called Stats - Point Value. When you make the Create Unit action, pick the number and change the function to Unit - Point Value of Unit, where the Unit should be Triggering Unit.

@Accname Is that still there? The buttons seem to be gone for me :/

As far as I can see, the buttons are in the bottom right corner of a post. "Like" is next to #postnumber and so on.
