Do you have any JASS coding? If not, you might want to look into [Lua] Perfect PolledWait (GUI-friendly)

That way, you can just use the polled wait without fear.

No, and it requires coding in lua? I can only understant gui

 

[Lt_Hawkeye]

No, it doesn't require coding in lua. Just copy the lua script into its own trigger, then use wait-game time second as shown in the gui example.

Edit: Do what Pyrogasm said

As far as I know those don't work. Or at the very least I could never get them to work.

Timer arrays have to be initialized using the size field in the variable editor. Trying to start a timer beyond the size you specified won't work because they don't exist (are null).
