Random Amounts Of Bounty Without Using Bounty?

Would it be possible to award an amount of gold to a player when they kill another unit; this amount being a random number between X and X (min and max) amount. I know I could achieve this by setting the same bounty for every unit one by one and turning bounty on. But is this possible to achieve with just a trigger or two?

Yea, but their would be so much extra codeing and waisted time, you are better off adding a bounty and turning bounty on. Basicaly it would be done the same way people did cash in starcraft, When a unit dies, add X gold to a player, but instead of just using X, you would pick a random number between Y and Z. But trust me, using the built in system is alot better.

What you says is possible. Although I have never looked at that built in system. I will look at it when I get home.

I finally found a solution on another board. Here is that solution:

Events:
-A unit owned by player 1 dies
-A unit owned by player 2 dies
-A unit owned by player 3 dies
(one for each player)

Actions:
-Add (Math - Random Number between 30 and 75) to (owner of killing unit) (current gold)

I hate maps that do that. I prefer bounty more because it shows you how much gold you earned.
