Ok, so i made a floating text countdown and it only had one problem before clearing leaks. Thread can be found here: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/world-editor-help-zone-98/question-about-floating-text-dialogs-240770/#post2413148
Though this is not the reason for the thread.

The reason for this thread is as follows:
I started to clear the leaks in my system, after clearing the leaks in the first trigger, It stopped working correctly. What happens is the
Voting Begins in: (seconds here) seconds!
floating text appears, but the numbers no longer do. (the countdown still works as intended though)
Second, when the voting begin countdowns ends, it should delete the voting begins in: and the seconds! ftext (which it does) and it should create texts in the same spots that says
Voting ends in: (seconds here) seconds!
but it does not, and once again the countdown still works, you just no longer see the floating text.

here are the original triggers that worked

If my explanation is not clear enough, let me know i can add screen shots of the not working triggers, there is screen shots of the "working" triggers in the thread i linked.

If there is a better way of doing this, let me know.
