Some questions about triggers and unit groups.

[DylanheBuilder]

Im making a map and im making temp unit groups to attack my base and i have some questions.

1. How do i make a temp unit group and add units too it.
2. How do i make a trigger that trains more units for my groups.
3. How do i make undead units collect stuff?
4. How do i make acolytes and other builders build stuff?

1. without giving you the triggers, it really is as simple as you describe it.
create variable
add unit to variable
eventually destroy the group to avoid leaks.

There is a "unit group" tag in the action menu so it should be obvious.

3. What do you mean by "collect stuff"?

4. issue order in the unit category

3. What do you meant by "collect stuff"?

Like lumber and gold. Im using acolytes.
(EDIT) Also train them from crypts and such not spawn them.

Not exactly, because you are, first, trying to give orders to a group that has no units at all (I assume), then you are adding those pre-placed units to it. That "Tempnecro1 = Tempnecro1" is not needed as it doesn't do anything.

i picked 1 crypt fiend and 2 necromancers. what do i replace with the second tempnecro1? Also my group wont move? If there was a video that would also be great\!

Move the Add Necromancer, Crypt Fiend and Necromancer 2 to the top of the trigger.
Replace the "Pick everyone in group" with the action inside it, it already does order the units to move.

The editor reads the actions in the trigger from top to bottom, maybe that's not clear to you ?

I don't know why you're declaring the variable to be itself, it's like saying
LordDz is LordDz. Like.. It doesn't do anything.
