just make timed event at 1:50
then under actions create unit where you want them to spawn.

  • Untitled Trigger 001
    • Events
      • Time - Elapsed game time is 110.00 seconds
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees

^This is true , But he said buildings spawn ( train) units as understood
U mean like this
  • Events -
    • Timer - Your Timer expires
  • Actions -
    • Unit - Order 'Your Building' to train 'Your Unit'

In this case, you would probably want to scrap the timer as training units is essentially a timer anyway--it takes time. But this is the way you would do it in a Gang Wars (that old, old map) styled map.
