help with triggers.....

[someguy36]

I dont know what i am doing wrong ... this map was working .. then all of a sudden it wont start ... the problem is at the beginning of the game... i put a trigger in for level 1 to start when the countdown timer gets to 2 game seconds ... it was working fine until today ... I tried to play the map and nothing happens when the countdown timer reaches 2 or any number for that matter.... I have tried moving the trigger to "all players" also to force1 which in this is "the crew" .. .if anyone has the time to take a look at my triggers and let me know if I am doing anything wrong .. that would be great... I have the map linked via ftp server.... I played this map successfully on bnet for the last week and all of a sudden it does this ..

thanks for the respons guys.. i found the prob.. it was with the first triggers i have in the map .. and it was working fine the way i have it here .. but all of a sudden it stopped working.. (would not set switch 1)

first trigger...

Condition - always
Action - wait 15000ms
- set coundown timer to 120 seconds

second trigger...

Condition - countdown timer is "exactly" 2 game seconds
Action - set switch 1

now i could not use "at most" or "at least" in the second trigger because if i did .. it would set switch 1 right away, before the countdown timer even starts... and i realized it is because of the wait 15000ms command in the first trigger... so i took that out and i am now able to use "at most" in the second trigger.. and it sets switch 1 when it is supposed to ...

first trigger...

Condition - always
Action - wait 15000ms
- set coundown timer to 120 seconds

I know you fixed your problem but change this trigger to

Conditions:
-Elsapled time is at least 15 seconds
Actions
-Set countdown timer to 120 seconds


The way you had it can cause many errors and is just bad practice.

[Tuxedo Templar]

Agreed. Here's the full set you would use:

Conditions:
- Elapsed scenario time is at least 15 seconds
Actions:
- Set countdown time to 120 seconds
- Set switch "Countdown"

Conditions:
- "Countdown" is set
- Countdown timer is at most 2 seconds.
Actions:
- Do whatever.
