Could you please be a little bit more specific ? I think I have an idea of what you need and doesn't look hard to implement but I am not really quite sure of what you want.

Basically, he wants those triggers:
1) A 'Difficulty Selection' menu
2) Based on the chosen difficulty, spawn 'x' number of observers in the map (x increases with difficulty)
3) If the player (which has only one unit) touches an observer, it musts die and wait for others to finish the level (reach the end) before respawning

None.
This is what I use in my map, the difficulty is a number between 1-100, with 100 being the hardest (granted, the highest selectable is 70. We've never been able to take 100 
). The selectable difficulties are Easy, Medium, Hard, and Impossible:

Awww, And I was just about to make a map for him with all the triggers. I'll just explain them here instead, the way I did it.
Part 1: Setting the difficulty
- Creating a dialog menu, with three buttons (Easy, Medium, Hard)
- Creating a trigger to detect what the player clicks and runs one of three triggers afterwards.
Part 2: Spawning the observers
- Place a region on the area they can spawn in.
- Use trigger - create x unit @ random point in region for player #
Part 3: Unit dies if near them.
- Put the enemy player, with the observers in a unit group.
- Use trigger - Unit within 1.0 range of units in unit group enemy player - then kill unit and write game over.
There are a lot of custom options you can add to this. Multi player features like vote on difficulty, text to players when someone dies etc etc .. If you still need the map "coded" despite the help here, and in the o.p. just let me know and I'll help you through, and finish all the triggers for you in whatver way you want 'em.
Regards,
Deev

Oh_Man -- because it adds anotherr level of player decision-making where u dont wanna walk too far away from the medic or u lose healing value[2024-5-06. : 5:01 am]
Oh_Man -- initially I thought it was weird why is he still using the basic pre-EUD medic healing system, but it's actually genius[2024-5-06. : 3:04 am]
Ultraviolet -- VraelVrael shouted: I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff
With the modern EUD editors, I don't think they're calculating nearly as many offsets as you might imagine. Still some fancy ass work that I'm sure took a ton of effort[2024-5-05. : 9:35 pm]
