Use this. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/miscellaneous-tutorials-456/how-easily-post-triggers-163285/
Also show the triggers that you set those strings in.

 

[RupTure_QS]

Do you have the units initialized so that they are able to be shown in the string?

@TO
You shouldn't use last created unit in anything unless you just created that unit.
If you remove last created unit before the trigger fires it returns null / blank.
If you create a new unit it will display the wrong units name.

hmm.. can you give me a trigger? and some examples?

this is my spawn trigger.

hmmm.. i think, yes ??
Not sure with the units, but i have trigger, Creep spawn.

Use the link I posted above to learn how to post triggers. Then post the trigger the triggers the correct way.

Problem is most likely the wait. Don't use wait in a loop. Don't use integer A/B they are slower and less efficient.

Add the two triggers that fire from the same timer ending together.

 

[RupTure_QS]

Well first of all, do what death said and merge the triggers that have the same event and also instead of using the name of the last created unit use the conversion from unit-type to string:

• Game - Display to (All players) the text: (|c00FCC430Level|r + (- + ((String(LevelCount)) + ( |c00F27AD0 + (String(CreepArray[LevelCount]))))))

i tried what u'd said guyz, but this is what happened

Take this out of the loop.

• Game - Display to (All players) the text: (|c00FCC430Level|r + ( - + ((String(LevelCount)) + ( |c00F27AD0 + (String(CreepArray[LevelCount]))))))

It is displaying multiple times because it is in the loop.
Don't use integer A/B. Use your own variable or it will bug in the future.
Don't use waits. They are inaccurate and can fail.
If you want to spawn units like this use a counter to count the units spawned. You need another trigger to do this with a second timer. Make that timer fire every .5 seconds. In the new timer end trigger increase the counter and spawn a unit. When the counter hits the number of units you want stop the new timer.
Then set the counter to 0 so it can be used next time.

This will make the spawning run better and prevent any future bugs.

Can you make me the trigger?
or make it in my map?
dunno how to do it sorry,

I can try to type it up as close as possible.

hi friend, is it ok for you that i will give the map to you
and make the trigger?

[deathismyfriend]

I showed exactly how to do it. Copy what i have and test it. I can't look at map for a while.

hi friend, this trigger is only my problem,
can you make me like this..?
