[Trigger] Hero Defense Trigger!

[BeatMySkill]

Hi Hive,
I'm making a Hero Defense map, and I want to make a trigger when:

1 minute elapses to spawn units in some regions...
and when all units are dead, a count down timer appears and when 30 sec elapse another wave spawns and so on... Can any one help me?

+REP for the helper

Such system is great if you propose a test map along with it.

Dead unit doesn't remove itself from unitgroup, so if all the units from WaveGroup are dead, the WaveGroup won't empty.

Use counter may cause bug which make the game never be continue, but it's rarely.
Better: check how much units is alive in WaveGroup.
