          • Countdown Timer - Start PirateTimer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 10.00 seconds

          • Set PirateTimer_Window = (Last created timer window)
        • Else - Actions

So we have a minigame in which you have 4 foot switches each with an option on them and a chest sitting on a little island. The minigame works like this: 60 seconds long, 12 seconds in-between each chest reveal, 10 seconds to pick an option, 3 being wrong, one being right. The triggers above are what relate to option 3 - our problem option. It is EXACTLY the same as all the other triggers, except the fact that it uses the region New Option 3 which is also no different from the other 3 regions. NOTE: The top-most trigger is being force-run by the minigame setup.

Our issue is: When a unit enters this region, when it is set to be the correct region, they are not gettting the gold or points, but are getting moved back correctly and paused. However all of the other options, etc, work, and they are all exactly the same setup as these.

Our question is: WTF IS GOING ON? Why can a singular region not work? We've tried the following: replacing our old region (option 3) with (new option 3). Deleting triggers, and remaking them from scratch. Moving the region slightly off the foot switch area. We also thought it was the unit being spawned on top of the region, so we replaced it with floating text, still didn't work.

If you need further information or more triggers posted up i can do that, thank you.

Ow thats a damn big Trigger, first of all it leaks a lot. You could check for the right answer in the Trigger Conditions, that will save you the if. I'm not sure what the standart for multipile conditions is, but i would add an AND - Mulitiple Conditions. I runned in some trouble with Trigger where multiple Conditions where asked and it fired always wrong. Adding AND to it will force the game to have both conditions true. (reffering to those bottem ifs in the Reveal Chest Trigger)

  • Correct Option 3
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit enters New Option 3 <gen>
    • Conditions
      • AND - Mulitiple Conditions
        • (Owner of (Entering unit)) Not equal to Player 7 (Green)
        • (RightAnswer_Pirate contains (Entering unit)) Equal to True
    • Actions
      • Set MinigamePoints[(Player number of (Owner of (Entering unit)))] = (MinigamePoints[(Player number of (Owner of (Entering unit)))] + 1)
      • Player - Add 1 to (Owner of (Entering unit)) Current gold
      • Wait 0.10 seconds
      • Unit - Move (Entering unit) instantly to (Center of WhatsintheChestStart <gen>)
      • Unit - Pause (Entering unit)
The Problem could be that the Trigger is that long. Did you try to add Debugging Message for analysing if it is Triggering Correctly? If you add some Gamemessages to the then actions of the Ifs so you can see ingame which one is taken.

Beside the leaks in your Trigger it looks fine to me

The trigger isn't too long, because we have a trigger that is even worse than this one. This one is only about 50-ish? The other one we have is about 200, and that one works fine. So the problem isn't in the length of the trigger, it's the trigger itself.

We have tried the gamemessages and that does work for all we know, otherwise we're not putting them in the right Then condition.

As for leaks go, I see your point, and will try it. The thing is though, does that mean the other 3 options that are created exactly the same as this problem trigger leaking too? If it is, why are they working like they're suppose to and not this one? It just seems rather random that out of 1 through 4 that number 3 doesn't work.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated. :); will post updates upon the issue soon.
