What you are asking for is complicated at the least. I'll see what I can do.
EDIT: Here's how I would do it.

• ZombieRespawn
  • Events
    • Time - Every 14.90 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • (Number of units in ZombieGroup) Less than (<) 100
  • Actions
    • Set TempPointA = (Random point in (Playable map area))
    • -------- 1024 is the sight range. --------
    • Set TempGroup = (Units within 1024.00 of TempPointA)
      • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Terrain pathing at TempPointA of type Walkability is off) Equal to (==) False
          • (TempGroup is empty) Equal to (==) True
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit - Create 1 ZombieType[(Random integer number between 1 and ZombieTypes)] for Player 12 (Brown) at TempPointA facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
          • Unit Group - Add (Last created unit) to ZombieGroup
        • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPointA)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempGroup)

• ZombieDie
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is in ZombieGroup) Equal to (==) True
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Remove (Triggering unit) from ZombieGroup

what i mean is just like in Left for Dead when the special infected dies example is when a hunter dies it respawn as a boomer but its more like a ghost and you have to find a place where no one can see you and you got to press e and spawn as a real boomer
its really hard to explain but you can watch Left for Dead gameplays at youtube to see what i mean

Well that seems easier. Just make the special undead invisible and create an ability that checks for units in range just like my trigger does.

 

[Ergic]

can you please give me an example map so i can edit the triggers.

erm bump!

Does this "Zombie" controlled by Players or AI ?

 

[Xonok]

Making it. How do people change what zombie they turn to when they die? One player can only have 1 special zombie?

yeah
and players use it not ai

 

[Xonok]

yeah
and players use it not ai

But how do players choose what zombie they will be next?

 

[Ergic]

once they die its gonna be on random

 

[Xonok]

once they die its gonna be on random

In that case I'll make it choose when a (dead) player presses E. It's far easier that way.

 

[Ergic]

ya but make them spawn for about 10 seconds

 

[Xonok]

ya but make them spawn for about 10 seconds

After pressing E or before?

 

[Ergic]

how about you can only press e after 10 seconds

 

[Xonok]

how about you can only press e after 10 seconds

I made it differently. I made it so that it's possible to press it at any time, but you will start with very low health.
Also, I made it so that it allows any amount of zombies per player and that it can be used for AI if you ever decide to do that.

It works for heroes and normal units.
Try it out and tell me what you think.
