Why doesn't this work?

Why doesn't this work? Simple triggers.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Region 001 <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Trigger - Turn on Untitled Trigger 002 <gen>

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Center of Region 001 <gen>) using Abilities\Spells\Human\ThunderClap\ThunderClapCaster.mdl

Untitled Trigger 002 is initially off.

coz the game counts at the start of the game oviously and you dont need "Turn on Untitled Trigger 002 <gen>", use TIMER then RUN TRIGGER instead...

So the ''Time Elapsed'' event starts counting at the start of a game, even though the trigger is turned off. Didn't know that.

But I'll use timers then. Thanks.

I think is like this: xD

• Events
• Unit - A unit enters Region 001 <gen>
• Conditions
• Actions
• Trigger - Turn on Untitled Trigger 002 <gen>
• Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

Turn on must at the first,xD,my idea is this, xD,any problem please tell me,xD

 

[mckill2009]

Yes, it is written, isnt it? "Time - Elapsed GAME time is 5.00 seconds"...

so basically, if your unit goes to that region, say...after 10 seconds, then the 2nd trigger will of off...

Why not to use something like:

Untitled Trigger 001

Events

Unit - A unit enters Region 001 <gen>

Conditions

Actions

Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

Wait 5.00 seconds

Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Center of Region 001 <gen>) using Abilities\Spells\Human\ThunderClap\ThunderClapCaster.mdl

Btw trigger above leaks!
You need to destroy created special effect and location/point (Center of Region 001 <gen>)

You don't have to worry about leaks
The way I see it, this trigger is meant for one-shot only, correct ?
So the leak is at minimum, it doesn't effect the rest of the game
So, you can use this trigger

No, that's not it. See the text below the Trigger turn off action:

''Does not interrupt existing executions of the trigger, but prevents future executions.''

Yeah, it's one-shot. And it was just a test. I'm not actually going to create a thunderclap effect. It's just the first effect that comes up when you use the ''Create Special Effect at Point'' action.

But you're right, -Kobas-. I can just put it all together in one trigger.

OR you can do it by using Wait action (using your trigger in post #1)

Replace this:

• Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds

With wait
That can be done too
(as suggested by Kobas, using Waits action)
