Note: ima complete nub when it comes to map making.

so im making this map called sniper arena where its basicly bald locks but in the beggining of the game u choose the arena u want to play in. i have only just started so ive got one arena done but for some reason about 5 minutes into the game all my triggers work is if i forgot to put "preserve trigger" i think it has to do with the way i used the hyper triggers or the death counts for randomization.HALP!

Perhaps if your ghost gets killed you get +1 death for "any unit". Try using "At least 8 deaths of any unit", or using something other than "any unit".

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

I think you cannot add to the deaths of "any unit". So your respawn triggers shouldn't work properly (it will work 8 times because every ghost death is inside the death count of "any unit").
you should better chose a death count unit like vespin geysir or some powerups or other units.

okay yeai think i see what i did wrong. i read the wiki on randomization and it had said "any unit" i think it ment to use any unit not use the "any unit"

You CAN add [any unit] but you should NEVER do it. It will 1 death to the death counts of each unit (used or unused).

The wait(800) definetely causes a wait block, because it's run under all players, like the hyper triggers.
replace all waits except the one of the hypers with death counters and you should be fine.

When writing triggers, it's usually best to be as specific as possible with actions and conditions, generalizing leads to errors that are difficult to find.

Alternatively, move the hyper triggers to the bottom of the list so they are executed last.

Now that I have actually looked at the map, I see that this is incorrect. Disregard my post.

haha for sure. in some ways it's even more exciting because you can play EUD maps on regular battle.net, don't need to convince someone to download your mod to play with you. what did you do?
