dead structures dissapearing

Ok, here's my problem:

There are some "venom weed" structures, that basically just sit there and attack. When one is killed, triggers are supposed to respawn it after 8 seconds. However, it suddenly dissapears about 3 seconds after it dies, apparently making it impossible to reference again (so it doesn't respawn). If I set the wait so it respawns 2 seconds after it dies, then it works. There are also other buildings in the map that do the same thing, except respawn after 12 seconds, and it works for them. I tried it with a model that has a decay animation, and it still didn't work, so that's not the problem. The only difference I can think of between the buildings that work and the ones that don't is that the vemon weed is walkable. Any ideas for how to fix this?

maybe add reincreation ability to it (no cooldown/effect) so its respawned automatically after 8 seconds.

I'm sure it has something to do with "Death Time"
Object editor --> unit --> death time (somewhere up top)

I hope that help.

I'm not so sure.

What kind of "Combat - Death Type" does the Weed object have (i.e. is it Can Raise, Does Decay or Can Raise, Doesn't Decay, or what)?

Yep, it was the death type. It was on "does not decay" before, but now it works with "does decay". Thanks a lot!

The building is removed from the map after it decays, therefore you can't reference it. Considering you didn't post the triggers, I have no idea what you're doing that's not making it work, so I'll just guess. What you have to do is store the location of the destroyed building into a local variable, wait 8 seconds, then create the building at the local location, then destroy the location.

The problem is fixed Sentry, he had it on "Does not decay" which means the unit is removed when it finishes its death time.
