im trying to make a zombie-type map. you have one unit. you can switch between "weapons" (ex. ghost is shotgun, marine is ak-47) with the same person. this is all fine but if your unit is injured, i dont want it to become healed just by changing weapons. so i decided to make my units have 1 health and every time they die they are recreated in the exact same spot but theyre "health" (custom score) goes down 5%. the trigger is firing (i know this because the health drops down 5 when i die) but for some reason it is not recreating the unit... it may be a problem with the location but i dont know

Trigger("Player 1"){
Conditions:
Deaths("Player 1", "Terran Ghost", At least, 1);
Score("Player 1", Custom, At least, 1);

Actions:
Create Unit("Player 1", "Terran Ghost", 1, "p1");
Set Score("Player 1", Subtract, 5, Custom);
Set Deaths("Player 1", "Terran Ghost", Subtract, 1);
Preserve Trigger();
Comment("DB Shotgun Hurt");

the p1 location recenters on p1's unit constantly (as long as p1 HAS a unit)

The Ghost should be created with these triggers.
Maybe there is another trigger that removes units from that player or sets/subtracts the death counts.

If you post all triggers or better, the map, we will find the solution quickly.

If you hear a sound and see a yellow warning/error, you have problems with centering the location.

ok i figured it out. i think the problem is that the location was centering on a unit in that same location. i looked around at another map that did the same effect i was tryin to create and borrowed that particular trigger so its all good now. thanks

You must not have looked very hard
Trigger("Player 1"){
Conditions:
Command("Player 1", "Men", Exactly, 2);

Actions:
Move Location("Player 1", "Any unit", "p1", "p1");
Preserve Trigger();
Comment("Center Location");
}

the location is being centered on your factory.
