Timer Window and Timer won't delete

[Pekisa7]

Hello. I've created some timers for extra units, corrupting the ground using plague spreaders and for runners. But when the timer hits zero the timer or the timer window won't dissapear. I have used triggers and custom scritps for the timers to dissapear but it won't work. Anybody now how to fix this. Also I am using patch 1.31.1.

You haven’t put a single timer window into a variable, and don’t use those waits also u dont have to destroy everything in a single trigger, have each trigger for each timer,
exp timer runs out for event
actually edit: u stored wrong
n your big Stop Timers trigger, you're using Countdown Timer - Destroy CountdownTimerWindow repeatedly – but CountdownTimerWindow is probably not a variable (or it's the same variable for all timers). Only the last timer window you created would be stored there, so the others can't be destroyed.

The fix:
For each timer, create a unique variable for its window. For example:

TimerFirstMessengerWindow (timer window)
TimerRunnerWindow (timer window)
RunnerTimer03Window (timer window)
... etc.

Then when you create the timer:

Countdown Timer - Start TimerFirstMessenger as a One-shot timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds
Set TimerFirstMessengerWindow = (Last started timer window)

And when you destroy it:

Countdown Timer - Destroy TimerFirstMessengerWindow
Custom script: call DestroyTimer(udg_TimerFirstMessenger)

try this out

• Countdown Timer - Start MyTimer1 as a One-shot timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds
• Set MyTimerWindow1 = (Last started timer window)
• Events
  • Time - MyTimer1 expires
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Countdown Timer - Destroy MyTimerWindow1
  • Custom script: call DestroyTimer(udg_MyTimer1)
• Countdown Timer - Pause MyTimer1
• Countdown Timer - Destroy MyTimerWindow1
• Custom script: call DestroyTimer(udg_MyTimer1)

You don't want to Destroy timers in GUI. Just don't do it.

Yeah they just run out right?

One-shot timers stop after they expire. From there you can just Hide/Destroy their associated Timer Window and be done with it.

Repeating timers will continue until you Pause/Destroy them.

OP is using One-shot timers as far as I can tell. If not, he probably should be.

It's a bit confusing since he's destroying a Circle of Teleportation in his one example but says "timers for extra units" as if they're meant to periodically spawn stuff. I suppose killing that prevents the AI from teleporting new units into the battle or something.

Anyway, his trigger(s) should probably look something like this:

• Events
  • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • // OR whenever you're ready to start this timer
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Countdown Timer - Start PlagueTimer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds
  • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title Plague!
  • Set Variable PlagueTimerWindow = (Last created timer window)

• Events
  • Time - PlagueTimer expires
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Countdown Timer - Destroy PlagueTimerWindow
  • // OR hide it if you want use it again later
  • Countdown Timer - Hide PlagueTimerWindow

In GUI, it's fine to keep it this simple, especially if you want to reuse the Timers later.
