Sentinel on a Tree

[The Nightraven]

Where can I find the option to create a "Sentinel" on a destructible tree through triggers? Sentinel being the owls that give you vision, the ones the Huntresses can cast.

I don't want to order a unit to cast it. I simply want the Sentinel to already be on the tree as the game starts.

You probably have to have a unit cast it. You can use an invisible dummy unit to do it.

Is there specific reason why you're avoiding the use of a unit to achieve this kind of mechanic easily?
Just curious, as you can't achieve that without mimicking the ability through scripting or just using a unit to simulate it perfectly.

Doesn't have to. One can create a dummy unit using the owl (sentinel) model (its path is : Units\NightElf\Owl\Owl.mdl) and place it on the tree. Then, create a trigger that remove this dummy after the tree dies.
