Hello everyone?
I was wondering:
How can I keep the corpse of a dying unit istead of it's decayed one?
What i mean is how the corpse of a footman(e.g.) remains as it is, without changing to bones and meat e.t.c.????

Thank you.

Go to Object Editor, choose the unit you want, go to Combat - Death Type.

Then choose Can Raise / Does not Decay (if you want the corpse to be available for Raise Dead) or Can't Raise / Does not Decay (if you want the corpse to be unavailable for Raise Dead)

This is not what I mean. I'm trying to find a way so that when a unit dies he does not turn into bones but he stays lied down until 2 min. when he disappears.

Use a damage detection system to detect when a unit is about to take fatal damage (DamageEventAmount >= Life of DamageEventUnit), then make the unit invulnerable, paused, and add Locust.

Set the unit to a local variable and remove the unit after 2 minutes.

Note that you'll have to have a custom experience and bounty system, since units don't actually get killed.

Why not do as I said then just add a simple 'A Unit Dies / Dying unit Equal to Footman (e.g)' then do what you said (Set the unti local Variable and the rest)?

I'm not expert at Triggers... just had the idea and wondered if it will work.

Nope, doesn't work. The trick is that the unit must be technically "alive" until we remove it.

Anyway, attached is the testmap for any interested.

You forgot to null the tempUnit variable (because you just turned global into local, you need to null it).
