I'm not exactly sure what you have going there. I would do this:

  • courier travel
    • Events
      • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Set VariableSet CurrentHero = Heroes[(Player number of (Picked player))]
          • Set VariableSet CurrentCourier = Couriers[(Player number of (Picked player))]
          • Set VariableSet CourierPoint = (Position of CurrentCourier)
          • Set VariableSet HeroPoint = (Position of CurrentHero)
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • If - Conditions
              • (Distance between CourierPoint and HeroPoint) Greater than or equal to 400.00
            • Then - Actions
              • Unit - Move CurrentCourier instantly to HeroPoint
            • Else - Actions
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_CourierPoint)
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_HeroPoint)
of course this is assuming you have one hero per player, and that you are storing the heroes and couriers in unit arrays.

edit: - maybe this is intentional, but 400 distance is not very far. this means the couriers would pretty much be useless...

Edit:
I use this in an ORPG, after i tier up, shall i set the hero again to the variable, so the courier still moves after the hero? Because when i tier up, the initial hero get's removed from game, and another one is created, so i set
  • Set Courier_YourHero[(Player number of (Owner of (Buying unit)))] = (Buying unit)
    • Set Courier_Your_HeroTempPoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Buying unit)))] = (Position of Courier_YourHero[(Player number of (Owner of (Buying unit)))])

You can ditch the Courier_CurrentHero and Courier_CurrentCourier variables seeing as how they're just copies of variables you already have.

Also, in your first trigger, you were referencing (Triggering player) in a Periodic Event trigger. Who exactly would that player be? How would the game know which player you're referring to?

Event Responses are set in response to Events:
A unit dies -> Dying unit
A unit is attacked -> Attacked unit, Attacking unit
Player X types a chat message -> Triggering player

Without an Event that involves a player, there is no (Triggering player).
