That's 9 leaky, not effective, and simple triggers for just one player . You dont need to worry about the credits as I dont think many people will find this usefull.
If you, or anyone else, wants to see how to do the arrow movement properly, you can check blizzards map Azeroth Grand Prix. Everybody with the newest patch should have it in their maps folder. Its unprotected.
Also tutorials require more than just someone handing out bunch of triggers.
