Tool to generate triggers to create a random unit

Maps that give random units to players are popular (and the map I'm currently creating relies on it) so I created a little tool using Javascript and decided to share it here for what it might be worth to someone. It's in a very crude state, as I created it for my specific purpose alone.

It allows the user to create and input a CSV file (created in Excel or other spreadsheet) which in turn generates the necessary trigger conditions and actions to create a random unit.

In my case, I'm randomizing 6 switches to give me one random unit out of 64 possible units. In the HTML file, I simply set the variable "x = 6", and in the CSV file, there's 64 rows which contain the unit and the number of units to be spawned.

Zip file containing the HTML file and sample CSV is attached. Just simply run the HTML file and select the CSV to see it in action.

Symmetry shouted: I did my first EUD thing today. Feels like me finding arsenal at age 8 again
haha for sure. in some ways it's even more exciting because you can play EUD maps on regular battle.net, don't need to convince someone to download your mod to play with you. what did you do?
