How to make levels with variables :o

[iTz Greger]

Hello

Im making a maul right now.
I've been trying to do so when the timer expires ( and food of creeps = 0 ) then a timer starts. When that timer expires next wave will begin. And it should of course be new creeps, thats my problem, to change the type of creeps. And yes it sounds easy.

Well, this is my timer trigger;

• Timer1
  • Events
    • Player - Player 10 (Light Blue)'s Food used becomes Less than or equal to 0.00
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Countdown Timer - Start Timer1 as a One-shot timer that will expire in 10.00 seconds
    • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for Timer1 with title Next wave in:
    • Wait 10.00 seconds
    • Set LevelINT = (LevelINT + 1)
    • Countdown Timer - Destroy (Last created timer window)

Tell me if you found anything wrong, I'm not the best att triggers. :<

Here is the "unit-type" changer trigger wich dosnt work. Ehm I guess you guys will know why.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (LevelINT Equal to 1) then do (Set UnitType = [LV01] Seal) else do (Do nothing)
    • If (LevelINT Equal to 2) then do (Set UnitType = Mortar Team) else do (Do nothing)
    • If (LevelINT Equal to 3) then do (Set UnitType = Flying Machine) else do (Do nothing)

Here is spawn, if it makes any sense.

• RedSpawn
  • Events
    • Time - Timer1 expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- Level 1 --------
    • Unit - Create 15 UnitType for Player 10 (Light Blue) at (Center of RedSpawn <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees

I would be really thankfull if some1 helped me!
+rep of course (A)

There's no reason to have a wait. In fact you should never use the wait command ever, because it's inaccurate (in terms of timing, since it's a polled wait) and prone to causing bugs. Set the countdown timer to a variable and do your stuff when the timer expires.

Here is the "unit-type" changer trigger wich dosnt work. Ehm I guess you guys will know why.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (LevelINT Equal to 1) then do (Set UnitType = [LV01] Seal) else do (Do nothing)
    • If (LevelINT Equal to 2) then do (Set UnitType = Mortar Team) else do (Do nothing)
    • If (LevelINT Equal to 3) then do (Set UnitType = Flying Machine) else do (Do nothing)

Well your problem is that it's at map initialization. Do it in your RedSpawn trigger. Also, never use Do Nothing. EVER. Seriously, it's even worse than Wait. It's like getting up and calling your friend over to do something, then telling him you want him to do nothing. He's going to be like "What the hell did you call me for?" Do nothing is a function that does absolutely nothing but decrease the efficiency of your code. Just leave else blank if you have to!!

You're welcome. Look at my response again though, looks like you were responding while I was editing it to make it better.
