Which is easier?

[MicroSheep]

I'm making a spawning trigger, and im making it so that every 5 seconds of gametime, if the spawned unit hasnt been attacked, it is removed from the game.

I want to make it so that the unit is capable of changing ownership too, so i dont think expiration timers will work here.

Is an expiration timer or adding it to a unit group, then picking every unit in the unit group and removing it easier?

make 2 triggers one that picks attacked unit and the other that checks if attacked units are the ones you spawned

easiest way:

• trigger1
  • events
    • every x seconds of game time
  • condition
  • actions
    • unit - create 1 footman for player x at <point>
    • unit group - add last created unit to TempGroup

• trigger2
  • events
    • every 1 seconds of game time
  • condition
  • actions
    • unit group - pick every unit in TempGroup and do actions
      • unit - set the custom value of picked unit to custom value of picked unit + 1
      • if custom value of picked unit equal to or greater than 5 then
        • unit - remove picked unit from the game

• trigger3
  • events
    • unit - unit is attacked
  • condition
    • triggering unit is in TempGroup equal to true
  • actions
    • unit - set the custom value of triggering unit to 0

I want to make it so that the unit is capable of changing ownership too

I'm not sure what you mean by that... does the unit change ownership once he's attacked or?

umm its a pokemon map so when he casts a spell, it changes ownership to the owner of casting unit and it becomes a variable, so an expiration timer wont work since it cant be removed.

something like this?

• trigger1
  • events
    • unit - unit starts the effect of an ability
  • conditions
    • target unit of ability being cast is in TempGroup equal to true
    • ability being cast equal to <catch?>
  • actions
    • unit group - remove target unit of ability being cast from TempGroup
    • unit - change owner of target unit of ability being cast to owner of triggering unit

Okay it works, but i just wish i could make it so that each unit stays on for 8 seconds instead of being able to be on for 2 or so seconds.
