Those are often scripted triggers.

As against stealing triggers and scripts from maps as I am, I would reccomend that, because typing out the script is tedious, and annoying as hell.

There's a GUI method of creating units... Create (convert string to integer) unit of type: (convert string to unit-type [Yes, this exists as a GUI function]), at [wherever]

If Player 1 types -orc grunt 4 as an exact match, create 4 Grunts at location. Other than that, you need to master Python or a scripting language to do that.

Python? That's ridiculous

Why would you need to know python to make a trigger in the world editor? That was the dumbest thing i've heard in a while.

No you would need a trigger that can "cut" apart input from a user then change them from cut up strings into unit-types, an integer, and then use a "Unit - Create units (your variables)" to make the units.

Ok so maybe not Python, unless you want to make a game of your own. You still need to know/learn how to script properly though
