Make sure all the conditions of triggers are actually being present, like, add a text message that displays when those conditions are true and see if it ever gets displayed.

oh well all of the other triggers work, before the game starts theres an intro with like 20 display text actions. They always display.

-.- the question is not if your intro trigger works, is it?
You should add a display action in the trigger that is not firing

ok well maybe he shoulda said that. =/

First, do you have a Preserve Trigger action in your Hyper Triggers? Make sure it its enabled.

If you do, try setting the trigger that checks the countdown timer to At Most instead of exactly. If that doesn't work, try disabling the Hyper Triggers (add 'Never' as one of the conditions.)

I do have preserve trigger active in the hyper triggers, I tried doing the set the trigger to AT MOST, but that just made them spawn as soon as the game started lol. I tried disableing the hyper triggers that didnt do anything

If you're still having problems, you may consider actually posting the triggers as they are now. If you use SCMDraft2 as your editor, you can go into "trigger editor" under triggers menu. this will display all triggers in a C++ -like format (programming language), which is easy to copy (use ctrl+c there) and paste to here. I wouldn't copy everything... maybe just the triggers that look like they're involved. If you only have like 10 or less triggers, just include them all. It's sad this problem isn't fixed already. We need to know exactly what is going on in order to diagnose.
