[Trigger] Creating a Timer?

[Bob1897]

I can't beleive I'm asking this, but I can't seem to set up a timer. What is wrong with this Trigger?

• Events
  • Map initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for Resource_Collection with title Resource Collection...
  • Countdown Timer - Show (Last created timer window) for Player 1 (Red)
  • Countdown Timer - Start Resource_Collection as a Repeating timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds

First of all, you must have the "Start" action above the "Show"
You should also set the timer window as a Variable.

It's still not working....

• Actions
  • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for Resource_Collection with title Resource Collection...
  • Countdown Timer - Start Resource_Collection as a Repeating timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds
  • Countdown Timer - Show (Last created timer window) for Player 1 (Red)

It also does not work when a varibale is introduced to the problem.

What event to you use?

EDIT: Checked the first post..
Change the event to "Time explicate 0.01"

You can not create them at map initilization.

Yes exactly, timers and Multi-boards. Add a small wait.

 

[krisserz]

Use elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds.

 

[HaniBon]

No elapsed time is 0.01

 

[krisserz]

0.00 can be used... Check it by yourself.

 

[Starquizer]

No elapsed time is 0.01

Why can't he say

• Initializtion
  • Events
    • Map Initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait 0.01 seconds
    • -------- Create the stuff he wants --------

 

[HaniBon]

haha whatever

EDIT: Cus that event can only be used ONE time

 

[krisserz]

Cause

• Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds

Is kinda easier to do and wait-less.

No no no... thats not why...
It's cus the Melee Initialization is a "Initialization"!
It's the first trigger that launches when the map is played. If you have 2 of this this event, 1 of them wont trigger first and therefor, never trigger.

 

[krisserz]

That is another thing. But good explained.

 

[HaniBon]

Thank you

Actually its timersdialogues, multiboards, leaderboards, sounds, dialogues and quests. Creating a quest during initialization causes the game to crash.

Yee it took me about month to discover what was crushing my map, but finally by mistake I found it out.

So without that mistake it would have taken you another month
