[Solved] Creeps spawn delay prob

[Boykillah]

I have a problem with my trigger

i don't know if the triggers in my map mixed up badly because i set that the first wave should appear after 2 minutes (yeah, like in dota) following waves (2nd, 3rd, 4th... Nth wave) will trigger each 30 seconds of the game time.

my triggers

First set of triggers:

trigger1
event: >elapsed game time is 90 second(s)
condition: >N/A
action: >turn trigger2 on

trigger2
event: >every 30 second(s) of the game time
condition: >(<barracks> is alive) equal to true
action: >Create 1 footmen etc.
>Order last created unit to attack move to <selected region>

what happened? = the creeps spawned within 90 seconds

Second set of triggers:

trigger1
event: >elapsed game time is 120 second(s)
condition: >N/A
action: >turn trigger2 on

trigger2
event: >every 30 second(s) of the game time
condition: >(<barracks> is alive) equal to true
action: >Create 1 footmen etc.
>Order last created unit to attack move to <selected region>

what happened? = the creeps spawned within 150 seconds



i'm pretty pissed about my noob-ity, sorry
will someone help me about it? thanks in advance

maybe you forgot to uncheck the "Initially On" thing above your trigger.

 

[Boykillah]

no i didn't. i uncheck it. the color of the trigger is quite gray.

thanks

For your first set of triggers, try placing a 30 second wait action just before the action that creates footmen.

if you analyze the triggers, the second set which spawns the unit after 150 seconds should really be the case. it's like this:
after 120 seconds you turn on trigger 2, which is triggered every 30 seconds after it is turned on. the units it spawns will not immediately be spawned the moment it is turned on. so in-game, it's after 120+30 seconds where the units will spawn. i'm not quite sure why the first set spawned the unit the moment trigger 2 was activated, though.

It would probably work better with timers. When everyone has chosen a hero start a timer that expires in 2 mins. Then use an event that, when your timer expires, create the footmen and start the timer that expires in 30 secs.

sorry... im noob of editing. can you show me in triggers? even just typing it of what should it look like.

 

[Mr_Bean]

No problem. I'm just not at my computer (I'm on my phone!). So I can't send the triggers now. I'm sure someone else will. Sorry!

 

[Boykillah]

It's okay... hahaha! anyway, thankyou
