thank you! I needed this too! now I don't have to go ask!

but I ran into some more trouble trying!

What I want to happen:

• Events unit dies

I keep having a problem specifying the array which the tutorial does NOT cover.

My Variable:

• Variable Name: Peasant
• Variable Type: Unit
• Array? No
• Size: 1

In the Triggers menu I decide that I want to use the following:

Unit - Unit Specific Event

This takes me to menu of Unit Dies. But Unit is red underlined.
So I pick Unit and I go into variables.
I pick the peasant.
All of the trigger windows close down, and the selection tool pallette comes out.
So I pick the peasant again.
Nothing happens and the trigger i just tried to make resets.

and tags stopped working for me again. I don't know why.

specific unit works only for preplaced units which you select using the button you pressed (whick creates a "generated variable")

you have two solutions:
solution one: trigger fires for every unit and check who it fired for...

• Events
  • A unit dies
• Conditions
  • (Triggering Unit) equal to MyUnit [color=blue]<- a variable[/color]

solution two: you CAN use specific unit event for your variable. here's how: make your trigger WITHOUT EVENTS and once the variable is assigned, use "add this event to [this trigger]" action to register an event.
