I have an interesting idea for a unit. I would like to have a spawn unit ability. Is there a way to do this in the data editor without using triggers? If so, how complex is this procedure?
If you want it to spawn a unit at a point, then make an Effect - Target ability that has under its Effect - Effect field a Create Unit effect. In the create unit effect put the unit you want to spawn in the Unit - Spawn Unit field. If you just want the ability to spawn the unit at the caster then use an Effect - Instant ability and follow the rest of my steps.

Any details as to what else happens with the ability/spawned units?
