Some units don't respawn i excluded some because they're bosses but only 1 unit respawn the Forest troll. and sometimes it get stuck on some point.

1) You use CR_Integer in your Setup trigger but then use Custom Value in your Respawn Trigger. This is incorrect, these values are not going to be equal to one another. The 4th picked unit could have a Custom Value of 2, but it'll be assigned CR_Angle[4] / CR_Point[4].

2) You don't need CR_Type, you can reference the Unit-type of triggering unit when it dies.

3) After respawning your unit you change it's Custom Value. This is not needed, it'll be assigned a new Custom Value automatically by the Unit Indexer.

Here's a working system that's very similar to what you were already doing.

It uses local udg_ to take advantage of local variables so that the Point/Angle of the dying unit is not lost during the 10.00 second Wait.

UnitIndexEvent is a special Event that comes with Bribe's Unit Indexer. It runs at the start of the game immediately after every single unit has been Indexed. If you aren't using Bribe's Unit Indexer then use your Elapsed Time Event instead.

CR Setup Trigger:
1) You can delete CR_Type as it's not needed/used
2) You're still using CR_Integer instead of UDex (Custom value of picked unit)

CR Respawn Trigger:
1) Your local custom script is wrong. You did: Custom script: local location udg_TempReal -> It should be: Custom script: local real udg_TempReal
2) Your second TempReal should be Facing of last created unit not CR_Angle[UDex]
3) Your first TempPoint should be Point with Offset: Set Variable TempPoint = (CR_Point[UDex] offset by (0.00, 0.00))

Look carefully at my trigger and yours, compare each line of code. If one thing is slightly off it won't work.

Ok i got it to work but now i have a little request if you mind.

I got a problem with excluding bosses timers

for example i don't want bosses to respawn as the units
and i have some triggers for the bosses spells but i don't know how to make them trigger the correct way after they're respawned.

Uncle · Apr 24, 2020

Isn't that what these conditions are for? -> (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Not equal to Forgotten Slave Knight Mars

That should exclude the bosses. Also, you should use a Variable to keep track of your Bosses, and set the Variable again after the Boss respawns.

Everybody is telling me to use a variable to keep track of the bosses and set the variable again but i dont know how!!

Use a Unit variable.

  - Set Variable PaladinBoss = Paladin 0000 <gen>
  - -------- OR --------
  - Unit - Create 1 Paladin for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
  - Set Variable PaladinBoss = (Last created unit)

Untitled Trigger 002

Does this work with already created unit?

and also how do i recreate my boss? my spells trigger off when they're on so it doesn't loop

Uncle · Apr 24, 2020

"Does this work with already created unit?"
That's what this is doing: Set Variable PaladinBoss = Paladin 0000 <gen>

And I don't really know what you mean. Are you saying you use Specific Events like these?

Events
- Unit - Paladin 0000 <gen> Dies

If so you can:

1) Change your Boss triggers so that they use Generic Events and reference the Boss variable. Like this:

Untitled Trigger 002
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Dies
- Conditions
  - (Triggering unit) Equal to PaladinBoss
- Actions
  - Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: Boss died.

OR

2) Make your Bosses Heroes so that you can revive them instead of recreating them, this way the Event still works. Like this:

Untitled Trigger 002
- Events
  - Unit - Paladin 0000 <gen> Dies
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Wait 10.00 seconds
  - Hero - Instantly revive Paladin 0000 <gen> at (Center of (Playable map area)), Hide revival graphics

Ok all of that works perfectly but 1 last question

I have based health spells

Like these

If i resurrect the boss will this effect anything? because i will turn on the spells trigger after they're resurrected.

What if its a unit and not a boss??

You will have to use Generic Events like I said. It will probably require you to rework your triggers.

yikers then well thank you for your help!

Just to clarify, when you said Boss you meant Hero, right?

Heroes can use specific events since you can revive them.

Non-heroes will have problems when using specific events because when they die and you create a new unit the Event will stop working.
