Timed life for certein units

[calvinsvahn97]

I am currently working on a larger map and I would like some help.

Im trying to create a timed life for a milita type unit on the map, That is to say peasent arming them self and after a time dying, not reverting back to peasents but actually dying

any and all help would be appreciated

• Events
  • Unit - A unit enters (Entire map)
• Conditions
  • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Militia
• Actions
  • Unit - Add a 60.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Triggering unit)

The event is "Unit enters region", near the bottom of events.
The condition is the Unit-type comparison.
The action is "Unit - Add Expiration Timer" action, which you can find in the unit section.

I cant seem to get it working properly, it eithers gives every peasent a timed life before turning into militia or it does nothing at all. Either way thanks for the help

That was little bit tricky cause there is no real event for the transformation of the peasent -> militia.

This works according to my testings, if you use the default warcraft 3 human worker mechanic.
If an townhall uses the get to arms skill: add affected workers into a group. I call the group militiaRecruting
Or if an worker uses the militia skill add it to a group.
Frequently enum the group checking, if they became a non worker = success.
Check for beeing dead or changed the order => kick out of group.
GetToArms used from townhall and used from the worker have different orders that's why one has to check for 2 orders inside the loop.

Below you see the triggers which perform this behaviour and a downloadable testmap.
