I want a single unit to spawn every time a condition is met. For example, each time a Zergling dies, I want one more Zergling to spawn somewhere else. In testing when I kill a ling and preserve trigger is on, they just keep spawning lings nonstop. How do I solve this?

The problem is that you can't modify kills counter. Maybe death counter works for you? You can modify that.

If you post the exact trigger you're using, it's easier to help.

I can modify the death counter, but how do I use that death counter to continuously trigger an event? Do I just have to write 1,000 triggers for each possible number of deaths?

EDIT:

Trigger("All players"){
Conditions:
Deaths("Current Player", :Zerg Zerglings", Exactly, 1);

Actions:
Create Unit("Current Player", "Zerg Zerglings", 1, "Respawn");
Preserve Trigger();
}

It's a problem that I can only choose "exact," "at least," or "at most" deaths, and not just have the trigger activate for any death. But even still, this causes nonstop Zergling spawn instead of just one.

Youd need to subtract the death here

You're a genius, I love you.

Depending on the circumstance, you may also want to change the condition to "at least 1 death" versus "exactly 1 death."

This would help solve issues should 2 Zerglings die at the same time resulting in the trigger not going off in the first case (unless you wanted something different to happen in that case). I imagine this could happen in cases where you want to increase the amount of Zerglings a player can control and die, and they remain with those same amount of units. This will only mean that 1 Zergling will spawn with each trigger check though. You can always increase the amount respawning at the same time by either duplicating the trigger or just adding a new one for cases where that happens. Duplicating the trigger shouldn't cause issues in the case where only 1 Zergling dies (because the condition on the first trigger will be satisfied and the action reduces the death count. Then the next trigger isn't satisfied since the previous one already set it to 0 deaths).

Yeah the first thing I did was test with "exact" and when a group died at the same time, only one respawned. The "at least" setting fixed this.
