                • Wait InternalWaveSpawnDelay seconds
    • Set WaveLevel = (WaveLevel + 1)
    • Trigger - Run (This trigger) (checking conditions)

I can't for the world figure out why this loop is infinite and crashes the game.
Anyhow, the WaveLevelAmount is an Array that is defined from 1-7 for example, and then when WaveLevel hits 8 it should contain 0 and therefor quit the loop. But I don't see that happening. Anyone got any clues?

You use Run (this trigger) (checking conditions) at the end of the trigger, inside no statements, so it'll run infinite times.

 

[Razorbrain]

Poot, he wants the trigger NOT to loop infinite times, since that is what it is doing

i just needed to say that, and im currently looking into it

Edit : Have you made a Set WaveLevelAmount[8] = 0? that might be the problem, that the default value is only working on they WaveLevelAmount[1-7]

try that, and say if its not working

 

[Zelloxy]

the default value is set to 0 so it should work, but as you said, I've also tried to set WaveLevelAmount[8] to 0 just in case. But no good.

Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
...
Trigger - Run (This trigger) (checking conditions)

When you use:
Trigger - Turn off SomeTrigger
SomeTrigger will not be run from it's events.
Triggers can be run without being on.
Here's the solution:

• Spawn
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • WaveLevelAmount[WaveLevel] Not equal to 0
      • Then - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • WaveLevelAmount[WaveLevel] Equal to 6
          • Then - Actions
            • -------- BossSpawns --------
            • Countdown Timer - Start WaveTimer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 45.00 seconds
            • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for WaveTimer with title (Level + ((String(WaveLevel)) + in:))
            • Set WaveTimerWindow = (Last created timer window)
            • Wait 45.00 seconds
            • Countdown Timer - Destroy WaveTimerWindow
            • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (((Bosswave + (String(WaveLevel))) + incoming: ) + ((String(WaveLevelAmount[WaveLevel])) + ( + (String(WaveUnitType[WaveLevel])))))
            • For each (Integer A) from 1 to WaveLevelAmount[WaveLevel], do (Actions)
              • Loop - Actions
                • Unit - Create 1 WaveUnitType[WaveLevel] for Player 8 (Pink) at (Center of Bosspawn <gen>) facing 250.00 degrees
                • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Attack-Move To (Center of Mob attack <gen>)
                • Wait 0.50 seconds
          • Else - Actions
            • -------- MobSpawns --------
            • Countdown Timer - Start WaveTimer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds
            • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for WaveTimer with title (Level + ((String(WaveLevel)) + in:))
            • Set WaveTimerWindow = (Last created timer window)
            • Wait 30.00 seconds
            • Countdown Timer - Destroy WaveTimerWindow
            • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (((Wave + (String(WaveLevel))) + incoming: ) + ((String(WaveLevelAmount[WaveLevel])) + ( + (String(WaveUnitType[WaveLevel])))))
            • For each (Integer A) from 1 to WaveLevelAmount[WaveLevel], do (Actions)
              • Loop - Actions
                • Unit - Create 1 WaveUnitType[WaveLevel] for Player 8 (Pink) at (Center of Mob spawn <gen>) facing 180.00 degrees
                • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Attack-Move To (Center of Mob attack <gen>)
                • Wait InternalWaveSpawnDelay seconds
        • Set WaveLevel = (WaveLevel + 1)
        • Trigger - Run (This trigger) (checking conditions)
      • Else - Actions

 

[Just_Spectating]

its checking conditions however there are no conditions so it will run infinite times. add a condition Trigger is on equal to true also make the If - Conditions equal to 7 so that it will run the 7th time then turn off the trigger so that the next time it checks the condition it will stop

 

[Unscrewed_Magic]

do a trigger comparison and compare it to a copy of the trigger that is turned off

if they are equal then skip remaining actions
