could it be because you put "Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)" before it does the other stuff?

I will try but it will probably spam it.

No. It runs the rest of the trigger before it shuts off.

There's a command to skip the remaining actions of a trigger in the GUI, I think, but that's not needed.

When this timer ends it should spawn unit but instead it spawns unit and ignores the timer.

First thing I saw. You're changing the color of the time twice.

  • Events
    • Time - ZombieComing expires

      • Then - Actions
        • Unit Group - Order (Units in Zombie Area1 <gen>) to Attack-Move To (Random point in Zombies Attack Here <gen>)

Get rid of

• Event: Time - ZombieComing expires

Turn off Initially On.
Make a new trigger with that event and have it turn on the zombie spawn script.

Then this timer doesnt wanna work.

• Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Expiring timer) with title Rescue!

Could this be it?

You don't always have to mash everything into 1 trigger. It's okay to make another trigger to assist your main one. Hope this helps.
