Trigger to kill all of one type of unit in a region

[Thesizad]

I'm trying to make a trigger that can kill all of one specific type of unit in a region at dawn. The event is simple enough, but I can't find any way to get the game to kill the unit type. More specifically, there's a custom unit called "Zombie", and when the time of day is 6:00, I want every "Zombie" to die. Making a condition that triggering units are of type zombie, and then making an action to kill triggering units doesn't work for some reason. What am I doing wrong?

I looked up previous posts about this but they were of no help.

If the event is

• Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to 6.00

then there is no 'Triggering Unit'.

Here are the actions you need:

• Actions
  • Set TempGroup = (Units in RegionName)
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set TempUnits[0] = (Picked unit)
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Unit-type of TempUnits[0]) Equal to Zombie
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit - Kill TempUnits[0]
        • Else - Actions
  • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempGroup)

I think you should use the action 'Unit Group - Pick every unit in Region matching Condition' and use 'picked unit' instead of 'triggering unit'. Like this:

• Killing Zombies Trigger
  • Events
    • Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal 6.00
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (<Region where zombies are>) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal Zombie)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Kill (Picked unit)

Edit: You beat me Mythic!

@Sieben
It should be (Unit-type of Matching Unit), and

• Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true

is usually set before the group pick.

Thank you. I was a bit too quick, I should think more next time! I'll edit my post.
