Hello everyone. I am brand new at applying hyper triggers and death timers to maps (Also brand new to these forums, loving it here already!), and that is where I believe to have problems...

I have the following trigger:



To work my timing trigger thingy:



I then start to put triggers that get activated off of the timer:



Now everything works all fine and dandy until I start adding on more triggers to be activated off the same timer:



I add about 5 more of these triggers, different in spawn location and building requirements. But when I add even just the two above, all of the triggers then spawn two orc guys per trigger cycle!!!(?) I have tried very hard but just cannot wrap my mind around why in the heck it would do this.

I have tried many things. I have tried setting all the spawns to be activated at different times on the death timer. I have tried rebuilding the death timer using different unit deaths. I have tried setting them on timers of varying lengths (but always tied to the same timer). I have checked all the other triggers on the map and it doesn't seem that anything else interferes with them. I have tried other things I can't remember. Many things.

Anyway, I felt that it was finally time to ask the great gods of Starcraft mapping for help. What am I doing wrong? Why does it do this? Help is much appreciated!

Also I have hypertriggers set to wait 336milliseconds. So it should be checking triggers 3 times every 1.008 seconds, right?

Perhaps the spawn triggers are owned by a group of players? That's the simplest explanation that comes to mind from the information you've given. If that's not the case, please post (copy/paste) your triggers as they appear in the text trigger editor (in the same order, too).

What players did you give the triggers to?

Addition:
Starcraft checks the triggers top to bottom player 1 to player 8. If you have multiple players selected to own the triggers then it will run that many times every loop that they apply (granted that the conditions are still true when it get to the other players).

Another addition:
Selecting multiple players to own a trigger is the same as copying the trigger for each player and having each own it individually.

Oh crap. That was so simple!!! You guys are totally correct. I had the trigger set for 'force 3' which has two computers in it. I switched the triggers over to 'player 7' and it behaved just fine! Thank you for the help! I'll keep that information in mind.

Nothing to do with death timers or hyper triggers at all. Ha ha. I'm too suspicious of new.

Glad we could help.
