Try to explain a lot better. It is hard to tell exactly what you want.

I think he wants unit to spawn and then last for 3 minutes before it disappear and then no one will get items from it.

• Actions
  • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
  • Unit - Add a 180.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

I'm not sure. But you should also mention that your trigger leaks.

What do you means with "loot"?

loot is a general gaming term, it basicly means items

I expect him to know that.

Easiest way is to start a timer at the beginning of a game. When your unit is created, put a timestamp on it. When it dies, compare the current time to the time stamp. If there is a more than 180 second difference, no loot.

Another way is to start a timer for the specific unit. If the time remaining on the timer is > 0, then give the player loot, otherwise don't.

i think you got what i want , actually i working WE for 2 month and its hard for me to understand what you said, can you tell me your mean with trigger? please.

Well yes, the only reasonable way to interpret this correctly is that the spawned unit disappear from the game (as to the reward are also gone along with it). Who would even try to kill that spawned unit if there's no rewarded therefore after ..?

He meant to say that if you kill the unit within 3 minutes, you get loot. If 3 minutes has transpired and you kill the unit, you will not get loot (the unit will die without giving the player any loot). I just happened to read it right : P.

I don't do GUI, only plain code, so no =). Someone else can likely write it up for you though.

yea true ;( but no idea why someone would kill it when timer is expired ;(((

Then you should think about it for awhile longer. Just because you can't see the reason doesn't mean that the reason doesn't exist . The op wouldn't be wasting their time on something pointless . You'll see the merits of something like this in due time =).

I could give you examples, but that's not my style.
