    • Countdown Timer - Start timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds

    • Set tw = (Last created timer window)

• Untitled Trigger 029

Create a variable called timer or something and a timer window called tw.
When the timer expires, destroy the window.

if timer is a array like (Timer[custom value x unit]) and i add in 1st trigger, trigger event to second like (Time - timer[custom value x unit] expires) then if each time when i start a new timer then its register like a new event even it is same than previous or replace it? (i ask because timer[custom value ] is same to same unit)

(so i think about make timer example for dead units without TSA, and i add new event like timer[dieing unit custom value], is i use 2x then its add this event 2x?)

Timer[custom value of a unit] is the same timer even if the unit changes, if you never destroy the timer or create a new one for that index.

i understand this just if i add a new event to a trigger and this event once i already added, then what happen?

could have a trigger 2 same event?
like: 2x event Expire timer [1]

 

[Maker]

A trigger can have the same event twice. If you register an event for the same timer twice, the trigger will run twice when the timer expires.
