Trigger fails to fire 50% of the time.

Sleeping wolves wake hungry.

Seeing as that last attempt failed, let's try that again...

THIS IS ANNOYING.

Half the time, when you build a zealot, the triggers don't work.

What it's meant to do is make the hydralisk invincible, spawn two waves of lurkers that attack a burrowed ling under the hydra and then remove the lurkers.

Yes, I realise the entire thing is extremely messy, I don't care right at this moment.

Could someone tell me why the fudge this doesn't work?

Instead of 'exactly 12 deaths', try 'at least 12 deaths', and make another switch of course.



None.

Perfick. I guess hyper trigger cycles go too fast for the game to detect the death count, am I right?

Sorry for wasting your time.

If you weren't being sarcastic, you clear switch 1 at 24 deaths, but you reset the deaths at 36 deaths, so you actually never hit the reset (which is what you need for the triggers to run again). So, don't clear switch 1 at 24 deaths or change where you reset the deaths back to 0.

Clear switch 1 on your very last trigger (where deaths is at least 36). You could also do this whole system with no switch--by death counts only.

No, I wasn't being sarcastic.

I thought FTS' suggestion sorted it, but I guess I was wrong - it seems that there's only one wave of lurkers on each cast after the first.

Thanks, Fwop_.

No. Death count changes are detected instantaneous. Even within the same trigger loop.

Bring (if not updated with, move unit/location or remove/kill unit) and Commands are the actions that lag 1-2 trigger loops behind.

NudeRaider -- I bet it just needs another training session against pros instead of only against itself and nobody will be able to stop it anymore.

so it can be beaten by a prepared pro, even in macro games, if only barely. the muta micro in particular seems really hard to handle for protoss ground though. In the open goons can't catch them, in the base they trip over buildings, it just instantly flies out of storms and they fly circles around archons. Mass cannons do work, but can't cover the whole map with it. Probably need mass corsair to counter and hope you can outmaneuver all the scourge.
