        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
      • Else - Actions
        • Do nothing

And the second,third and fourth triggers repeat 40 times at all for all levels. The 'Repair' variable makes impossible the player to type '-go1' instead of '-go2' (that's how my creeps spawn - '-go1' for level 1 , '-go2' for level 2...). The problem is that when i wait about 1 min the floating text slowy dissapears and becomes invisible i don't want that. if you give me answer - +rep for all of you guys! THANK YOU!!!

[Bannar]

Okey here your are, hope it helps, although i havent done anything with clearing/changing the text after lvl 40. If you want something else ask or you got other problem with text just ask.

CoLd Bon3 Remove DO NOTHING from your triggers actions!
There is no need to call another function that don't do nothing!

You are completely right, although i havent done this in my help map, i should. However it's not realy needed because those triggs don't do anything exapt creating one text...

Removing 'do nothing' is recomended.

 

[CoLd Bon3]

Ok, i will remove it but if it exists what will be the problem? just asking?

Do nothing does nothing but decrease the efficiency of a spell.

The only reason Blizzard added this Do nothing action is due to the presence of the single lined if/then/else action and the need to fill in the "else" part with it in case there are no suitable actions. So to avoid using the Do nothing, avoid using the single lined if/then/else action.
