I fail at making Phantom maps

Hi, more than a year ago I decided to make a phantom map using the extra mining and shared resource concepts with the binary count-offs, but it always had a glitch where if a phantom was killed, the map wouldn't run its trigger to tell us, even though the trigger is correct. All my triggers look right. I've decided to fix this after these long months, but when I look at my map, I see nothing wrong. I don't know if it's because I'm screwing up the randomization or if it's because I'm randomly allowing for 1 or 2 phantoms...

I'm just waiting for someone to look at this and tell me my triggering is atrocious.

I can't open it right now, but here's an easy mechanism to detect any number of phantoms:

-Give each phantom 1 death of something you haven't used as a DC (Uraj Crystal, Cantina, whatever).
-When player commands exactly 0 buildings, remove that player's units and set that DC to zero. (Or defeat him directly to acheive the same purpose).
-When All Players have Exactly 0 deaths of that DC, all phantoms have either been defeated, or quit. Achieve victory.

I'm using a DC for phantom (ruins) but I think the issue is a bit more complicated than what you suggested. I also need to know how to detect when a phantom leaves, as opposed to having lost all his buildings but he gets to stay and observe.

If he leaves then the death count for the phantom would equal exactly 0.

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- Used : " [img=https://i.imgur.com/gpOjTuD.jpeg] "

ManCubuS -- Even tried with imgur, doesn't attach.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
