I need only thing like that: If Total_Levels = 2 than turn on Level2 <gen>, Total_Levels = 3 then turn on Level3 <gen>.

It should go like that:

• Trigger1
• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Total_Levels = 1
  • Set Units[1] = Footman
  • Set Units[2] = Knight
  • Set Units[3] = Dryad
  • Set Units[4] = Scarab

• creep check
• Events
  • Unit - A unit Dies
• Conditions
  • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 12 (Brown)
• Actions
  • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Number of living Units[Total_Levels] units owned by Player 12 (Brown))) Equal to 0
    • Then - Actions
      • Set Total_Levels = (Total_Levels + 1)
    • Else - Actions

• Trigg
• Events
  • Time - Every 15.00 seconds of game-time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Point1 = (Center of wstart spawn <gen>)
  • Unit - Create 1 Units[Total_Levels] for Player 12 (Brown) at Point1 facing Default building facing degrees
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point1)

Units[] is a Unit-type variable.
You don't need 4 triggers for each seperate unit-type, that you are going to spawn.
You don't need "Do Nothing" action, system will by default do nothing, if there are no actions added.
"Owner of (Entering unit)" responds to the event "Unit - A unit enters region", not "Unit - A unit dies".

Fixed my trigger; try this one :]

 

[D0W3R]

The footmans are spawning all the time. unit I kill one of them. Then it start spawning all time knights unit I kill one of brown units (no matter what kind of unit). then he spawning only dread one more kill - scarab and finally when I kill one more of brown units It stops spawning units at all.
-----------------
I need that he spawn them like this:

• level 1
  • Events
    • Time - Every 15.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of wstart spawn <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of wstart spawn <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of wstart spawn <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of wstart spawn <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of wstart spawn <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

and when units ownered by brown in all map equal to 0 start spawning knights
(This is just only demonstration how it have to spawn them. Of course your way is much better ) )
