[Trigger] How to change unit to not unit object?

[daveldvd]

Well I have that problem. I want to make one map that will end by killing a unit(I did that trigger already) and that unit will turn into cage after death but I dont know how to turn unit into cage.

Your procedure can be described by:
- Track Unit Dies Event
- Check within specific condition if dying unit equals to your chosen unit
- Actions: remove dying unit from the game
- Action2: create "cage" (unit/dest?) on map and set its location to the dying unit's one.

In GUI there is even an action regarding to "replace" functionality, although it refers only to unit-unit replacements.

Clean memory leaks. Enjoy.

If the unit which has to die is specific (a boss), you can also track Boss Dies Event instead of Unit Dies Event.

Memory leaks are a big issue for triggers which run once in the end of the game.

Yeah I know about that replace but it is only to units so I cant use it you know I need typical cage. Thanks Ill try your tip out.

I'm confused. Are you just asking how to create a cage where the unit dies? If so, just use the event [unit - dies] and the condition [unit is equal to (your unit)] and then set Temp_Point at (position of (your unit)] and remove (your unit) then create the doodad cage at Temp_Point.

I think maybe I am missing something. That seems too easy.

You can also just make the cage a unit with Object editor and use replace unit.
