Trigger creation help requested please

[ebeny1359]

Hiya.

I'm wondering if it's passable to make a type of trigger for my game that would link to a building that could allow a race's hero to take control of said building by getting near it. In essence a race would take control of it with it's hero walking up to the building from no one to start. Then lets say after said race is driven off from the site of the said building by another race then another race's hero can walk up, and steal control of the said building from the last race.

Also I would like to set up another trigger linked to the same building that would at random times create a random unit from the creep's unit set randomly setting the owner race between the controlling race of the building, or creep at unit creation. I would much rather have it set up that the owning race can click the building, and click a button to create the random unit in the same manner, but from my xp with the world editor I don't think that's passable.

My xp with trigger creation is next to nothing except what few things I have picked up reading around the web, and the reading of triggers from other maps that I can open. Any help anyone can provide I would be most thankful for. Thank you for your time

You should be able to trigger a change of ownership. Look in the Unit or Player sections... (I'm not on my wc3 computer right now - sorry!)

Look at the last two triggers on this:

Indeed that looks like what I need for ownership change, I'll play around with it for awhile. All that ends up being a long process of trial, and error. Trouble is I lost all the few months work I had on maps due to a pc crash so I'm starting over adding things I only had in idea. Lesson learned back up. Thank you for the help on the ownership stuff
