Methods to prevent this hardcoding?

[kaiserimpact]

Hello all. i am a noob in trigger and wanted to ask how to change it using a variable. Because of this "hardcoding" units that are on the map, once i've moved on to create a new map, the trigger will turn out to be like this(Because the following trigger is unable to find the unit on the map since i've yet to put them).. i have to manually create the units and put them on the map to fix this issue.

"gg_unit_h016_0087" is the paladin thats in the previous map
"gg_unit_h017_0088" is the dummy unit thats in the previous map

• holyPulseActive
  • Events
    • Unit - gg_unit_h016_0087 Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Holy Pulse
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order gg_unit_h017_0088 to Night Elf Warden - Fan Of Knives

Is there any method such as i can set the "gg_unit_h016_0087" to the paladin and "gg_unit_h017_0088" the dummy unit thats available in the object editor such that this following trigger will not causing the same error when i moved on to my next map?

Well, specific units can't exist in multiple maps.
However, you can scale this thing up and it'll be easier to make it work in any map.

How?
Save both units into a variable at map init. Use the variables instead, this is especially useful if you need to use them in many places, as you only need to change 1 variable per unit.
