What kind of timer? What are you trying to accomplish?

 

[Kunfury]

a countdown timer it starts as soon as people leave a certain room

Example trigger:

• LeaveRoom
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit leaves MyRoom <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Countdown Timer - Start MyTimer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds
    • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for MyTimer with title My Countdown Timer
    • Set MyTimerWindow = (Last created timer window)
    • -------- Turn off the trigger so that it won't get fired repeatedly unless you want that. I suppose you could also destroy the trigger too with custom script. --------
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

• TimerExpires
  • Events
    • Time - MyTimer expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Countdown Timer - Destroy MyTimerWindow
    • -------- Do things here --------

Try this,

Create a region in the room and check via the A unit is leaving a region event whether they are leaving the room and then start the timer.

o and how do i get a pic of a trigger on hive workshop
and how do i get the thing you called (MyTimer)

Use [TRIGGER]*text goes here[/TRIGGER] tags. There's an icon for it also.

Right click the trigger's name on the right pane in trigger editor, and select "copy as text". Then paste it.

To create the variable, open trigger editor (F4) and then variable editor (Ctrl + B). Then create new variable of type timer and give it some name.

 

[ZIR]

Just select the trigger and strg+c use the

• tags and copy it into these tags.
• MyTimer is a Timer variable. Just create one in the variable editor.

Why are you posting the triggers? Does something not work?

 

[Kunfury]

Try adding

• Countdown Timer - Show (Last created timer window)

after the

• Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for MyTimer with title My Countdown Timer

Edit: I think you can't display timer windows at map initialization. Try using a different event or the Time - Elapsed event.

• Eggs Are Lain
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit leaves Region 001 <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Countdown Timer - Start MyTimer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 10.00 seconds
    • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for MyTimer with title Eggs are Lain

• Eggs Hatch

    • Time - MyTimer expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Spore Eggs have bee...
    • Countdown Timer - Start MyTimer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 300.00 seconds
    • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for EndingTimer with title Eggs Hatch
    • Countdown Timer - Show (Last created timer window)
    • Unit - Create 1 Spore Eggs for Player 12 (Brown) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees

 

[Maker]

Destroy the timer window.

Eggs Hatch trigger will loop over and over again. You can start another timer and use different trigger.
