How can i
Hello everyone. If the specific town captured, i am changing owner of the specific Garrison for the player who captured. And i am giving creature for this Garrison. But i am able to move the units from Garrison.
Is there a way to prevent that?
- Alternative -
Can i give creatures to the garrison BASED on INTEGER?
- Alternative 2 -
Can i use "combat" function and give creatures BASED on INTEGER?
Any of these will solve my problems but first one is best option for me.

Well, you could use the editor and select the checkbox in the garrison to make troops not removable.
In order to make the checkbox accessible you'll need to initially set an owner for the garrison. If you want the garrison to start out with no owner, you'll need to add a triggerable event to the garrison that changes the owner to neutral, and then you'll need a map timed event on day 1 that calls the triggerable event.
Map timed event means a timed event under Campaign->Map Properties not a timed event on the garrison 
I've tested that this works.

The question is "how" i have tried many things and i have realized units can be moved "after the garrison cleared and created unit via triggers"
In other words, if you create any unit in empty garrison "can remove creatures from garrison" function not works
But if you have 10 berserkers and if you will increase these numbers everyday, "can remove creatures from garrison" function works They cannot be moved from garrison when i untick this.
I will be happy if you can post as map file or can show me how can i do with scripts because i don't understand yet.

Buddy, did you even read my post? I literally told you exactly "how" to do it. I even said I tested it and it worked  I changed the owner and added creatures to a garrison by triggerable event, and those creatures are unable to be removed from the garrison.
Go back and read my post, then do that on your map.
Just make sure in the editor you UNcheck the box for "Can Remove Creatures from Garrison", which will make it so creatures are unable to be removed from the garrison.

I did the same thing and it not worked for me. Still i am trying to do different things and looking for solution.
Town X > Captured
If Owner is Red
Trigger custom event named "RedGarrison"
RedGarrison > Change Owner to "Red"
End Turn
Day 2
Everyday give 10 harpies to RedGarrison.
And i can move these units from Garrison.
I am looking for solution to make them "never leave"

It's apparent that you are not doing the same thing

I just did exactly this and was unable to remove any added creatures from the garrison.
Post a screenshot of the editor with the garrison open for editing.

Here.
1-) First i am "capturing" the Garrison. Because i have to clear it first.
2-) I am capturing town.
3-) After the turn ends, everyday script gives 10 harpies for the Garrison and i cannot move these creatures from this Garrison.

Then what's the problem? That's what you've been saying you wanted to do..
Edit. I just tested capturing the garrison and that does indeed seem to reset the garrison to a default of being able to remove creatures from the garrison.
Seems like you're out of luck on this one if you want creatures to remain on the garrison.

What about other 2 alternatives? Are they possible to do?

Your 2 alternatives don't make any sense in the context of this post. How would they help prevent removing troops from a garrison?
I tried placing a quest gate on either side of the garrison that requires a hero on the army to pass, and that made it so I was unable to remove creatures from the garrison (unless I visit the garrison with a hero of course).
Really it depends on what you're actually trying to do here, which is unclear from your post.

I am trying to create guarded area "any way i can"
Ok let me what "exactly" i want.
You are capturing town named X.
This town is not good because you cannot build most of the buildings.
BUT your border have a garrison. This garrison gets units everyday.
And the problem is you can move your units from garrison.
Purpose of this garrison is "guarding" only.
This is what i am trying to do.
Now currently i have created system that when the enemy enters the region, 5 behemots are attacking the enemy. But i cannot increase this number.

Not as desireable as it would be, but you could place a placed event infront of the garrison, on both sides, that will take away xx number of harpies from current army. Display som simple text, 'these Harpies had sworn to never leave the Garrison, yet they did. You decided they werent trustworthy and dismissed them'.
If you have a hero or another creature with you, all harpies will be removed. If only harpies are in the army (you could check with a conditional script), you can remove all but 1, which would give 1 harpy a day, so you could trigger a combat vs the harpies to avoid this. '100 Black Dragons came to punish the Harpies for breaking their sworn oath'. It's a work around. Cant help test other better solution atm, sorry.
As for increasing the number of Behemoth, if you want the number to for example increase over time, like increase by 1 pr week, so week 1- 5 Behemoth attacks, week 2- 6 behemoths attacks and so on, you should use a conditional script, checking which day it is, and set a condition according to it. You can use the Advanced Option Map Editor to easily copy the main script, rather than having to set up like 10 similar scripts

Last one ise good idea Karmakeld. But can you tell me how can i use variables effectively in here? I am elder mapmaker of Warcraft III and i have created lot of systems and heroes but i can do anyting in Warcraft III thanks to the World Editor.
But with Heroes 4 editor i was need something like these
This army fights TempInt Behemots
TempInt equals to current week etc etc like something this.
I mean i cannot change quantity with Integers.

Well in the placed events you make a conditional script. If Current player is human (I asume you only want it run if player is human, not AI), then if army has hero, take xx harpies. If not army has hero fight xx black dragons.
For the Behemoth event, you make a placed script (cant recall if you can choose week or only day). If current day>= 4 or current week is = 1 then this army fights 5 behemoth.
If current day>= 11 or week is = 2, then this army fights 6 behemoth. In the placed event you choose the name of the script you want to link in the map event.
If you need guidance to scripting, I can recommand the Scripting Guide
