Is it possible to revive dead units with triggers?

[SAUS]

Basically the title. I want to know if I can reanimate units without using the built-in abilities (resurrection and animate dead). Or would I need to fake it and spawn new units of the same unit type as the dead ones?

What? lol

What jwx555 said is that it is impossible to do so.
However, there is not a direct way to do it but you can recreate the unit.

Set TempUnit = (your dead unit)
Set TempLocation = (Position of TempUnit)
Unit - Create 1 (unit-type of dead unit) at TempLocation facing (Facing angle of TempUnit) degrees.
Unit - Remove TempUnit from the game.
Custom Script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLocation)

Give the dead unit the reincarnation ability if you're trying to make it so they respawn after a certain time being dead.

Just give it a cooldown if you want them to stay dead after using it.

Nah, they need to die for real and be revived by a spell. You get money by killing them and reincarnate doesn't trigger "unit dies". They may also revive under another player's control.

Jass is fine. Seems like I need to fake it, but that is fine with me.

ReviveUnit uses resurrection iirc.
Creating new unit does create a new unit which might have a few drawbacks when you want to retrieve stored data on that unit.
