Trigger Help: All units of Player X in region are dead then spawn X units for Player Y

[Xaidin]

I am having a hard time with the conditions of triggers and know this will come back to me at the end of completing my map by creating leaks.

Currently, I have a conquest trigger I am trying to write, where if Player X takes over Player Y's base by killing all 6 buildings in the region, then Player X gains the base with different building models.

I am having difficulty having the trigger only if all 6 buildings are killed, not just one of the specific units, and requiring it to be killed by player X.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on this? And perhaps, if they know a great resource for utilizing variables and conditions, that would be great to clean up my map as well.

Thanks

Store those 6 buildings inside a unit group variable then periodically check when all those buildings are dead.

I never thought of that, great idea. Thank you.

Will this create leaks? Or does this minimize that?

@Warseeker You don't need the Timer, just check if BuildingGroup is Empty after Removing the triggering unit in your Building Killed trigger.

No, it doesn't create leaks. But you can always destroy the group after all buildings are dead using a custom script : call DestroyGroup (udg_BuildingGroup) just to be sure.

Thank you, I'll do that just to be certain. Huge map so I am trying to eliminate as many potential leaks as I go.
