Show me your trigger.Or try using Boolean False (Default).

This is not the trigger but it's why I'm trying to get a variable into:

• Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time

I'm trying to make a trigger that detects how many units the player owns, and then automatically makes a unit every 2 seconds depending on that.

under 50 would spawn 3 units per 6 seconds, 50-79 = 2 units per 6 seconds, 80-100 = 1 unit per 6 seconds.

Using

• Wait 2.00 seconds

causes the posted trigger to only produce 1 unit per 6 seconds no matter what. It skips the rest of the trigger.

if you need more of an explanation for why i need a variable in periodic event i can explain....

 

[cHeRoL]

I dunno,i never make a trigger like that,I'm sorry.

 

[Ghan_04]

That's going to need some tweaking....

First off, you can add a variable to an event if you removed the event from the trigger, then use ANOTHER trigger with the action Trigger - Add Event. You can add the event through a trigger and it will allow a variable.
However, this does not help you. Here's why.
Event are only registered once. They are registered when the trigger is created. So, it will make the periodic time whatever the variable is right then, and it will not change with the variable.

I would suggest using a timer. That will allow you to specify a new timeout period every time you restart the timer.
