Hero Overload!

[Kaustilikos]

I need some help. I made a map, Fire Emblem wars. (attached) and the triggers, though innefficient work. The problem is that every unit is a hero. About the middle of the game, when units with items die, the items the unit was holding drop. I think it's becuase the game dosen't store that many heros. How can I fix this? I tried removing them from the game.
Thanks!

1. Remove the unneeded fallen heroes.
2. You can delete items with "pick every item in rect"

Thanks for the help! I already had a trigger for removing heros, but it still happened. Is the remove command enough to delete the unit? And shoud it be removes "when revivable"? The item one works, though.

removing the unit will perma it from the game

Ok. Then, one last question: how do I make the game store more heros? I think it's doing this becuase it's stored the maximum number of heros. I just need it to store the live ones until just after their death. Thanks.

function removeHeroesDelayed takes nothing returns nothing
     local unit hero = GetDyingUnit()
     call TriggerSleepAction(2)
     call RemoveUnit(hero)
endfunction

I'm sorry, I don't speak Jass. Does that make the game store more heros? Do I even need that? Also, if it's supposed to remove heros, I need to make exceptions for certain variable heros. Thanks.

all this does is create a temporary variable that stores the dying hero within the function, and 2 seconds later removes the unit stored in the variable.

By using a temporary variable (local), we can ensure it never removes the wrong unit, and can be run in multiple instances at the same time (MUI)

Hope that makes sense.

To implement it you'd just copy paste the function into the map header and then as an action do CustomScript: call removeHeroesDelayed() with the event "a unit dies"

Thanks, but I already have it delete when hero becomes revivable. Will that work? I don't want to have to import the jass and have a million bugs if I don't have to...

That works too, in that case you can change the delay by modifying death time
