1. Is it possible to change the energy usage of healing by medic? I've change it to 20 and it shows 20 energy usage in-game but the medic still heal unit with 1 energy.
2. I have a problem with spawning an item to player 1 when he kills a monster. It is a 6 players game. I try using the modify death counter but it effect on other players too. It keeps spawning the item. Any ideas how to improve my trigger?
My Trigger is
Players
Player 1
Player 2
Player 3
Player 4
Player 5
Player 6
Condition
Current player kills at least 1 Squekz(monster name)
Action
Randomize "Switch 136"
Modify dearh counts for Player 8(where the monster belong):Set to 0 for Squekz
Preserve trigger.
----
Players
Player 1
Condition
Switch 136 is set
Action
Display for Current player: Obtained Shell.
Create 1 Shell at Location 207 for current player
Clear "Switch 136"
Preserve Trigger

You are not modifying the "kill" part of the trigger, you modified the "Death" part. The first player always has the kill, so it will repeat.
If you wanted it to work you could say
But there are better kill counters in the DLDB

Switches are global, When you set it it is set a switch all the players will respond to it. It doesn't matter who set it.
Also your condition for the first trigger. "Current player kills at least 1 Squekz(monster name)"
Once this condition is true, it will remain true for the rest of the game. You can't reset kills, once a killer allways a killer. So your trigger would fire again and again for that reason.
Ironicly the first thing i listed would be self corrected by your trigger order, as long as you put the triggers in the same order your listed them here. (assumeing you have a copy of it for each player)

Rantent, I don't think that will work because it is a six player map. If player 1 kill squekz players 6 will also benefit. What I want is whoever player kills a squeakz he will get that item.
Oh... that switches thing. I should use a different switches with different players huh. The condition too. I can't put Players 8 suffer at least 1 death of Squekz either cause all other players will get that trigger. Im out of idea.
How bout my first quetion?

To answer your first question, no. Atleast in my experance. this is one of the things I'd been hoping would be fixed in 1.12 so it is.
To help with the outher one, best way is a combonation of Score'kills' and deaths
I'm in a bit of a hurry, but it goes a bit like this.
killscore is atleast X
Badguys suffer death of atleast one unit Y
Do stuff
Subtract score X
Subtract one death of Y from Badguys
If your using score already, I suggest swiching it to use custom, and haveing the score:kills -> score:custom triggers also be the triggers that deal with item drops
which would involve adding a 'add X custom score' action to the above.
it does work, it's just a lot of hassle.
Oh, and makeshure theat Any player who Can kill a unit owned by 'badguys' has atleast the trigger to remove deaths and score else it's going to mess up a bit.
I'll be back in a few hours if you've got questions.

Medic Healing cost can't be changed. I've set it to 2707 on purpose in some of my maps.

After reading for 20 minutes( yeah my mind is slow ), I understand what your are tryng to say Terrenblade. The kill score and death works fine but I dun understand about the part where you we're trying to say score:kills -> score:custom 
You will gain kill score 50 by killing zerg if im not wrong but how do you gain custom score i still don't know.

Custom score can only be modified by triggers.

I have the same problem with the medic healing nrj cost. Is there maybe an other way to have the same result of not-healing-too-much ? Maybe it's possible to to decresee medics energy points from 200-250 to for example 10?
---------------------------------------
I've solved the problem
.
Heh...I loved the paladins healing system in Warcraft II. 1hp cost 6 energy points, and that was fine.
But anyway...this one will make your medic heal a little bit slower. Good luck on making your map!
