I order you to forgive yourself!

Last year, I made a bound for a member of my clan to show him how I made my bounds. I think it could help you. The bound triggers are under player 7.

Oh, you used death counters, I'm sorta lazy to delete everything and do it all in death counters. I was looking for a way to just use another switch for the ob to go over 64 actions.



None.

Your method works. Well that is if you're clearing the switches somewhere because if not, both triggers would run the same time instead 1 after another.
Otherwise you're probably running into wait blocks or you're not using hyper triggers.

If you really want to keep your waits (With all what comes with it), you can just use a death counter at the end (the 64 action) and make a the next trigger based off that death count.

Example:
If bound 1 is going and if Death of a unit == 0, do your first 63 actions.
If bound 1 is going and if death of a unit == 1, do your next 63 actions. (And so on)

I remember seeing a wiki article about the method I'm explaining.

That doesn't make sense. Switches work just as well.

I use death counts because they seem to be more useful. If I decide I want to have a sequence of explosions I can use a single death count instead of multiple switches.

Ohh, I'm so stupid, I forgot to make a trigger that clears the switches. Thanks.

By the way, one reason why I'm not using death counters is because I'm not willing to spend a heck load of time on this, and I'm using Angelfarto's BoundMaker.

Once you plan your bound, I think it goes faster having everything on different triggers since it's easier to spot mistakes if there are any. It took me less than 20 minutes to make the first 4 obstacle (There are 5 in the whole map). The map only took a couple hours to make after having done all the little details (Make a computer be able to bound at the side, music and so on.)

Uh yeah I would too prefer dcs for it, my point was that this isn't the problem.

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.
