Loot Tables for Created Units

[QuillQuickcard]

I have started a project which will rely on having huge quantities of loot dropping constantly. But I've run into a snag.

I cannot find a way to add a loot table to a unit created with triggers. Is there a way I can do this, or another method that will let me bypass this limitation?

Off the top of my head, use a Unit Indexer. Then, on Index, if unit type equal to X unit, add your items, indexed to that specific unit (using 2D arrays). Then when said unit dies, drop the items from that specific list. It's kinda simplistic, so maybe you can find a better system out there if you want something more complex like item sets and such.

Or you can use hashtables. Should probably use hashtables. I'll make an example if I have time.

Lots of Item Drop systems here in the Spells Section you can use. Here's a couple:
