Is there a trigger that allows you to create a random unit when you bring 4 civs to specific spot. I got the conditions, but i need the action trigger. If is possible please post the correct trigger or how to accomplish this.

Switches. Is the only thing that can be random.

Ok but what if you are using switches for other things. It could activate a different trigger by accident, correct?

That's why you have 255 of them.

You have 255 but when you activate the switch couldnt it activate a switch that didn't give out units? Is there a way to make is only activate one of the switches that deals with the units?

At the beginning of the game, randomize the switches you will be using for randomness. Make sure you are only using these switches for randomizing. The amount of randomizing switches you have, the more options there will be.
Correct me if i'm wrong
1 Switch = 2 Options
2 Switches = 4 Options
3 Switches = 8 Options
4 Switches = 16 Options
5 Switches = 32 Options
etc. etc.
Now for your trigger use these conditions
Conditions
- Current Player brings at least 4 civilians to "! Buy Rnd Hero"
- Random Switch 1 is cleared
- Random Switch 2 is cleared
Actions
- Create 1 Marine at "create hero"
- Randomize Random Switch 1
- Randomize Random Switch 2
- Preserve Trigger
Example of second trigger
Conditions
- Current Player brings at least 4 civilians to "! Buy Rnd Hero"
- Random Switch 1 is set
- Random Switch 2 is cleared
Actions
- Create 1 Zealot at "create hero"
- Randomize Random Switch 1
- Randomize Random Switch 2
- Preserve Trigger
You would have to copy that for each random hero you would want. Like if both switches were set.

I havent tested this yet so it probably doesnt work but go to starforge and make your trigger in there and when it asks you what unit you want to create put in "any unit".

Tsk Tsk Tsk.
Switches dont go as the square of the number. Those who understande this quuote will understand what im going to say.
Create a binary number using switches and say if switch this... etc then makje this unit. It takes usually between 33 and 129 triggers so have fun.
I made a scenario that deals cards (52 units moved randomly) I was making a card game, but I gave up as nobody knows it and there was too much to do. But it still deals your cards fine.
For the mathematically brain dead, (which Vindexus obviously isn't) heres the numnber of binary numbers swithces create:
2x where x is the number of siwtches. So:
1 switch = 2 numbers
2 switches = 4 numbers
3 switches = 8 numbers
4 switches = 16 numbers
5 switches = 32 numbers
6 switches = 64 numbers
7 switches = 128 numbers

Swap you dope. It just doubles every time you add a switch.

If you want to know why it doubles, it is because when you add a switch you have all the old combinations + SET and all the old combinatios + CLEAR, so it is the double

Okay, I'm going to make this easy to see and list all possibilities for a number of switches so you can see how this works.
1 = Switch Set, 2 = Switch Cleared
One Switch.
0, 1
Two Switches..
00, 01, 10, 11
Three Switches...
000, 001, 010, 011
100, 110, 111, 101
Four Switches....
0000, 0001, 0010, 0011
0100, 0110, 0111, 0101
1000, 1001, 1010, 1011
1100, 1110, 1111, 1101
Five Switches.....
00000, 00001, 00010, 00011
00100, 00110, 00111, 00101
01000, 01001, 01010, 01011
01100, 01110, 01111, 01101
10000, 10001, 10010, 10011
10100, 10110, 10111, 10101
11000, 11001, 11010, 11011
11100, 11110, 11111, 11101
If you didn't notice I started copy/pasting after three. Just pasted them twice and add a "0" at the start to half of them, and a "1" at the start of the other half. You can see the amount doubling each time. Using that method you could spell out all possibilities of 256 Switches, but that would take a long time.

The basic formula is 2^[the number of switches]. It will always be an even number.
I believe we had a discussion with this earlier. *goes to look for other switch thread*
