Creating a Repeating Timer

[MattNJ]

I was wondering what the triggers for a repeating timer would look like.

I want to create a repeating timer that adds a value equal to the total number of Outposts(a custom unit of mine) owned by a player multiplied by 500 to both each players gold and lumber.

I got everything to work up to the resources being collected when the timer expires.

Hopefully you guys can help! Thanks!

What do you need to do? Do you mean you just need to make the timer restart? You should be able to just switch one option in the action that starts the timer. It should look something like:
"Start timerVariable as a one-shot timer that expires in 5 seconds"

Switch one-shot to repeating.

Or, make a 1 second periodic loop.
set counter = counter + 1
if counter is greater than or equal to number of outposts owned by player X * 500
do stuff
set counter = 0

For the first trigger I initialized my timer and timer window variables, created the window, started the repeating timer, and showed the window to all player.

For the second trigger I added and player group action that increased the gold and lumber of each player for the amount of Outposts they controlled when the repeating timer expired.

Maybe I have to use an array in my action, for the timer expires event, but I am not sure how to do that.

I'm confused what your problem is. Your description makes it sound like it should work. Can you post your triggers? And can you describe what you want to happen and what part is not working?

Your 'picked player' actions aren't inside of the loop. Just click them and drag them up into the loop and it should work.

Are you making an Income Generator system ?
Why don't you check out my system in the signature and move from there.

Remove "Set TaxesTimer = (Last expired timer)"
