How do i make it so that when i bring a unit to a location, a different unit spawns somewhere else?I need it so that the trigger is preserved but i only want 1 unit to spawn every time i bring that unit to the location.

You can do it with a switch.
| Trigger |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ Switch x is cleared. |
| ¤ Current player brings at least 1 unit to location 1. |
| Actions: |
| ¤ Set Switch 1. |
| ¤ Create 1 unit owned by player at location 2. |
| ¤ Preserve Trigger. |
| Trigger |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ Switch 1 is set. |
| ¤ Current player brings at most 0 unit to location 1. |
| Actions: |
| ¤ Clear Switch 1. |
| ¤ Preserve Trigger. |

[center]Alternatively, you could move the unit that initiated the 'bring' condition out of the location.[/center]

You could also have a switch that is set whenever u bring the triggering unit to the location. You could make it so that the switch clears after a few seconds and make sure u have a preserve trigger in there.

There are 2 circumstances, and the trigger varies depending on each.
1) "Money" system, bring a certain number Civ to a location, remove those Civs, and create a new unit at a new location.
2) "Buy" system, bring a unit to a location, move the unit back to a nearby location so you won't buy more than you want, and create the bought item at a new location.
Ignore the people who told you to use switches, they're just being redundant.

But hey, using switches allows you to move the "buying" unit back and forth across it without creating more than one. Just don't leave the unit there or a new unit will spawn every few seconds!

You you can just add a 'wait' action afterwards, so it only fires again after the amount of milliseconds you waited.

Why would you need a switch for an extra step if you can just use the Move Unit action in the same trigger? Redundancy, that's why.

Move the unit or kill the unit after he gets to the certain location.

I was merely suggesting an alternative. Either way is fine.

Even though my way used switches, it does something else. I wasn't sure about what he wanted specifically, so I assumed that he wanted it so it doesn't move the unit back.
Or I'm just overcomplicating simple stuff...

It's not overcomplicating the situation, but it should be used in other scenarios like entering/exiting buildings (in that exiting puts you in the entering location), not purchasing items, where only 1 function is needed.

You could always centerview the location to another destination and once that unit is out just move the location back to its place.

Even more complicated.
