[Solved] How to activate a trigger after killing a specific number of units?

[Abid Almashni]

Hello, I'm not new to making Warcraft 3 maps, but I don't spend a lot of time making maps so I still don't know what I'm doing, I'm trying to activate this trigger, I want two forest trolls to die, and than activate this trigger so that a few more spawn, I know it's weird but I don't want them to spawn simultaneously, this works but not properly, it activates after killing one troll even though I set it to activate after killing 2, did I use the wrong trigger or something?

For things like that you need to use a variable to make things much easier, create one like this

Integer means you will be able to store an information in the form of a number inside this variable. Then you increment it every time the unit dies, and check when it has the value you want

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Forest Troll
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet Number = (Number + 1)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Number Equal to 2
      • Then - Actions
        • -------- The rest of your actions here --------
      • Else - Actions

Thank you for replying, I've never used variable before, so i don't really know how they work, my issue now is I don't know how to set the variable in the trigger, thanks for the help.

It's here, if you hit S right after opening this window you should find it right away

It doesn't seem to be working, my variable doesn't look the same like yours, what am I supposed to do to fix it?

• Troll Spawner one
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Forest Troll
  • Actions
    • Set Number = 1
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Number Equal to 2
      • Then - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: I see you can fend ...
      • Else - Actions
        • Do nothing

That's normal, in your trigger it is always set to 1 so it will never reach 2 ^^

Use this function:

Then you can replace "value" with your variable and it will increment by 1

Thank you for clearing things for me, it works as intended now.
