Describe what you want, and what is the problem always if you open here a thread.

Set Timer[1] = Last created timer ... Countdown Timer - Start Timer[1] as a One-shot timer that will expire in 0.50 seconds ^A timer is never created.

Edit:

In your second trigger there does not exist a unit that triggers the triggers, so (TriggeringUnit) does not work.
In GUI we use not timer method but this instead: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...279/mui-spells-using-artificial-waits-223315/

Oh so what should I do?

Edit: How do I create a timer for the countdown then?

You can not merged thread, but you should not create a dublicate.
If you have a problems with posts/thread which you can't solve it yourself you can contact us in staff contact or report it.

Oh so what should I do?

Read the linked tutoruial.

I just accidentally double-clicked the post thread because of internet lag.


Oh I really have no idea how to make variables for indexing.. what type of variable should I use.. I searched everywhere in the internet but as far as i have read throughout every single forums, none of it that I can seem to understand completely.. Like they always speak gibberish to which causing for me to have a hard time understanding.


Edit: I really want some simple demonstration on how to do indexing.. Like using simple words and easy-to read descriptions and what it do, preferably examples which makes sense. Preferably a tutorial which a stupid person can understand.

Are you doing it for a submission or for your map?
Anyway, you can go easy or not easy ways.

Easy way:
- http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/trigger-gui-editor-tutorials-279/mui-triggers-waits-218354/
or
- Working with "Wait Game Time" action and with http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/local-udg_-248534/.

Advanced way:
- The tutorial I linked before.
or
- Hashtable and timer. (but it needs most tutorials probably to get used to hashtables etc.)

I'm using it for my map.. it doesn't have to be MUI cause I'm not intending on modes which players have the same set of ability.. Although I think I want it to be a multiplayer map but since I think not MUI spells in multiplayer maps seems a bad idea.
