It's pretty easy. The event is 'Every x seconds', the conditions are whatever you lie, and there are Actions (under Unit) that allow you to add a unit to the training que.

If you want them to be trained at specific moments, you can use the Conditions or If/Then/Else triggers.

Or you make 2 triggers:
1st one detects when a building is finished, then let the building train the specified unit (via if's)
2nd one is, when a building finishes training a unit, order the building to train another.

The upper function works, too and is easier i think.

There you go
  • Unit creating
    • Events
      • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type Barracks) and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to train/upgrade to a Footman

which leaks a group
  • Unit creating
    • Events
      • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type Barracks) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to train/upgrade to a Footman
here we go ;)

bj_destroy_group cause trigger malfunction in most events of type every X seconds and i think pick every unit doesn't cause leak becouse technical it's imposible to select 1 unit more than 1 time. Btw you always can use the GUI trigger unit remove last picked unit from last created unit group if you think there is leaks

1st one detects when a building is finished, then let the building train the specified unit (via if's)
2nd one is, when a building finishes training a unit, order the building to train another.

this is the better way although more complicated

No, it doesn't.
And yes, it leaves a leak if you don't destroy the group you've set up

Or you can use a skill called Factory, and another one called Rally. This does not produce the load bar, but saves a ton of work.

You also need to add in something in to stop the player cancelling the construction. Make a third trigger with the event for when a unit is cancelled.
