[Trigger] Event Unit Expiration Timer Expired?

[Yours Truly]

Is there any event where you could detect when a unit dies when their expiration timer expired?

unit dies
killing unit == null

Uhm...
I don't quite understand. Do you mean like "Killing Unit Equals No Unit"

Additionaly you can add it to a group or something when you start the timer.
Just to increase the chances that it was killed by the expiration timer.

Start a normal timer that expires just before the unit expiration timer would.

If you didn't get what Draco said, it's Event - unit dies, and you put Killing unit = null in the conditions.

unit dies
killing unit == null

The reason why it would work:
When a unit dies, this is mostly because someone attacked him and dealt more true damage than he had as health.
The killing unit in triggers is the unit that applied the damage.
So if the killing unit is noone, then the unit got killed by noone.
And an expiration timer has noone to deal damage so it will make the killing unit null (aka nothing).

The reason why it wouldnt work:
Imagine killing the unit by triggers (not damage unit but kill unit) or some other way, then the killing unit is also null.
In this case, the unit didnt get killed by an expiration timer but does have a null killing unit.

The way to fix it:

Additionaly you can add it to a group or something when you start the timer.
Just to increase the chances that it was killed by the expiration timer.

Start a normal timer that expires just before the unit expiration timer would.
