How to create units with timed life?

[IronForge]

Help!! As part of a trigger animation, I'm creating a unit for its art. Gave it locust ability, so it can't be selected or damaged.

However, now I'm having trouble removing it.

Is there any ability or whatsoever that can give units TIMED LIFE?

Yes there is, In Triggers Look for Unit-Add Timed Life or something of that sorts, Its near Unit-Remove Unit i think

You can either do what Spartan1one7 said, or you can do "Wait- XX" and "Kill/Remove Last Created Unit".

(Spartan1one7's way is far easier and much smarter to use.)

Use this line as above ppl stated:

• Unit - Add a 60.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Triggering unit)

 

[Slaydon]

when your making the trigger, make these into

• Unit - Create a YOURUNITTHATSGOTLOCUSTect... Position of unit
• Unit - Add a 00.00 second Generic Expiration timer to last created unit
• Unit - order blablaba

or u can setup unit so its life regeneration is negative value, and it work always.
so unitlife/regeration would be its life time

The expiration timer is the most efficient way to deal with that problem, yet should the unit not have locust and need to be summoned for a user, I recommend using a dummy Feral Spirit ability.

expiration timer isn't the most efficient way...
Use markone's negative HP regeneration, give it -1 per second and it's HP will be the time (set negative values by holding SHIFT while clicking on the field).
Just make sure to make it invulnerable and magic immune (so it can't be killed or healed).
