High Loremaster	This is what I have for a creep respawn trigger: Events A unit Dies Conditions (Owner of (Dying unit)) Equal to Player 11 (Dark Green) Actions Wait 300.00 seconds Unit- Create 1 (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) for Player 11 (Dark Green) at (Position of (Dying Unit)) facing Default building facing degrees For some reason, the creeps don't respawn. Can anyone help?

After 300 seconds the unit has alredy decayed, it is removed from the game, I think you can fix your trigger by doing this:

Code:

Events
    Unit - A unit Dies
Conditions
    (Owner of (Dying unit)) Equal to Player 11 (Dark Green)
Actions
    Custom script:   local location udg_DyingUnitPoint
    Custom script:   local string udg_DyingUnitType
    Set DyingUnitType = (Name of (Dying unit))
    Set DyingUnitPoint = (Position of (Dying unit))
    Wait 300.00 seconds
    Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type(DyingUnitType)) for Player 11 (Dark Green) at DyingUnitPoint facing Default building facing degrees

Create a String variable (DyingUnitType) and a point variable (DyingUnitPoint), on the create unit action, use conversion - convert string to unit-type.I don't know if the unit keeps it's name when dies, but there is no local type for "unit type" variable.
EDIT: If you want to clean leaks, use this after all of the above actions:
Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_DyingUnitPoint)

Jeltz	You have to use local variables since several units could die before 300 seconds have passed.

High Loremaster	If I made it so units do not decay, would that work? I don't have access to WC3 at the moment, so I can't test it. EDIT: I was able to test it. I set the decay time under "Gameplay Constants" to 400 seconds, and used my original trigger above. It seems to be working fine. Thank you anyway.
