PLEASE HELP! (TD Spawn system)

[Droof]

I have been at this spawn system for two weeks now. I think I'm going to go mad...

I've got it to work to the point where if there are 0 units from X unit group in the map for X player number. THEN spawn next wave for that picked player.

PROBLEM: if the player leaks. They don't get their next spawn...

Next level trigger:

I resolved this by making HumanPlayers a non-array Player Group. However I have some multiboard issues...

 

[Droof]

How do I get these two to communicate?

It looks like it should work fine. Does the rest of the Wave Trigger work? One way to debug this is create a text message and have it display the value of List in your Multiboard trigger and do the same thing for the value of Multiboard_levels in your Wave trigger. This way you can see if they match.

Also, you can display those 3 text message to the Picked Player instead of "All players matching...", use Convert Player To Player Group to do so.

• Game - Display to (Player group((Picked player))) for 30.00 seconds the text: blah blah blah

And maybe go through and replace all instances of (Last created multiboard) with your MultiBoard variable.

And a small tip, if you're using (Player number of a player) a lot, use an Integer variable to make your life easier:

• Actions
  • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set VariableSet PN = (Player number of (Picked player))
      • Set VariableSet Level_Number[PN] = (Level_Number[PN] + 1)
      • Set VariableSet Round_Over[PN] = True

Just something I do to help keep things clean and easier to manage.

Another thing, what's the deal with the 7 Wave Timers? That trigger will run for ALL HumanPlayers each time ANY of those 7 Timers goes off.

It worked thanks. Any idea how to remove this space?

Remove the last Row from the Multiboard when you create it.

It looks like when you create MultiBoard you're setting Rows to MBPlayers + 2. Do MBPlayers + 1
