I am making a custom map and I need to kill a certan unit type in a region. I cannot make a trigger to kill each unit individually because theres too many so how can I make a trigger that will kill off the specific unit one by one?

Edit: I would also like to mention that from researching this it is suggested to use unit strings to refer to a unit and I have tried that by typing in the unit name but after testing the trigger seems to ignore it. I am not sure but I think I am using the wrong trigger action to refer to the unit type with a string.

So you want to kill all units of a specific type in a region? You can "Pick Each Unit in Unit Group" in a "Units in Region Matching Condition," where your matching condition is the unit type:



This will kill all units of a specific type in a specific region instantly. You can add a wait in the unit group actions if you want them to die one-by-one.

Ok that worked. Does anyone know if there is a way to have a variable that defines "Any Player" so i can use it with all of the triggers.

If I remember correctly, in the field you can use a 'Preset' defined as 'Any Player'.

Alternatively, you could use an integer value and run a loop which references that integer as each player.

Something like:
For IntegerA from 1 to [number of current active players in game]
Do Actions
next IntegerA

Well the field preset for any player only works for that one trigger from what ive seen. In the other triggers there is no preset for "Any Player"

Also the integer player thing was confusing. Do you have specific triggers I can look at to set that up.

What is it 'exactly' you want this trigger to do that requires use of Any Player?

Well its not that important I just mentioned it because sometimes I am making a trigger and I could use the "Any Player" preset but it isn't listed for that trigger. Theres none specifically though.
