Some Questions on Tower Defence stuff

[Agemo]

Hi, i'm designing a TD, and i'm trying to do this:

1. create an initial timer, which shows when 1st wave start.
2. Timer expires, 1st waves are spawned, Timer disappears from screen.
3. Timer reappears after all spawn's units are destroyed, Timer is resetted showing when next wave is.
4. Repeat step 2, but for 2nd, 3rd, 4th...etc wave.

i manage to do the 1st 2 steps, but i can't get step 3 nd 4 to work.

this is what i have done so far:


Step 1 trigger:

Event:

Time - Elapsed game time is 1 sec

Action:

Countdown Timer - Start (timer variable) as one shot that expires in xx secs
Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (timer variable) with title "XXXXX...."

Step 2 Trigger

Event:

Time - (timer variable) expires

Action:

Countdown TImer - Pause (Timer variable)
Countdown Timer - Hide (timer variable)
UNITS - Create XXX Units for Player Brown at (region)



so can anyone help me out here???

This is probably what you're looking for:

For the third and fourth steps I'd make an integer variable and put the units into variable unit groups. When each unit group dies have the integer increase by one and when it reaches four (for four groups as an example) then that can trigger the next wave.
If you need more help or clarification let me know.
