I set a countdown Timer to 1800 seconds. Then i made some triggers for the timer -

Player "X"

Conditions: Countdown timer reaches exactly 1500 seconds

Create 25 SCVS at "SCvS" for Current player

============================

However, once the time comes, it never fires! Should i switch the trigger to Elapsed Time?



None.

If you only want it to happen once, use "at most" instead of exactly. Or use elapsed time.



None.

Or
Conditions:
Atleast 1495 Seconds
Atmost 1500 Seconds
---------
This gives the trigger a 5 second grace period to fire off
Downfall, it could be up to a 5 second delay which nobody wants to risk



None.

BBcode again failed me, reposting helped. See below.

This isn't enough. If it should only run once you dont need the "Atleast 1495 Seconds", if it should run once each time the timer reaches 1500 it would run multiple times.
For 1 time execution do what LW said, if it may run more than once, add an action to Bol's trigger that sets a switch and a condition that checks for a cleared switch.
Then use an extra trigger that clears the switch for at most 1490 seconds.

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.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. 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.

Mr.BurnLiquid shouted: Ultraviolet Thanks; I'm new to the site and a Spanish speaker. I must have missed the part where it was prohibited—I'll change it now.
I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
