The timer window will show but the timer itself wont.

My Code:
Trigger:
  • Wave1
    • Events
      • Time - Timer[1] expires
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Countdown Timer - Destroy TimerWindow
      • Countdown Timer - Start Timer[2] as a One-shot timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds
      • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title Wave 1 Ends In:
      • Set TimerWindow = (Last created timer window)
 
Trigger:
  • Wave1
    • Events
      • Time - Timer[1] expires
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Countdown Timer - Destroy TimerWindow
      • Countdown Timer - Start Timer[2] as a One-shot timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds
      • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for Timer[2] with title Wave 1 Ends In:
      • Set TimerWindow = (Last created timer window)


I think that's your problem. Change (Last started timer) to Timer[2]
Not really sure cause I don't work with timers ATM
 
Trigger:
  • Countdown Timer - Show (Last created timer window)


What do you mean it won't show? You mean like, the thing will show, but not countdown?
 
Two more things,
one: i did the same thing with timer[1] and it worked fine.
two: it turns out that the timer itself wont even work.
 
Do you have the timer variable array in the variable editor to 2
 
Change it to at least 2 :D Since that's what you're using when it expires:
Code:
Countdown Timer - Start Timer[[COLOR="Red"]2[/COLOR]] as a One-shot timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds

Change it to the maximum number of timers used, else they wont function either.
 
you need to make the order like this
Trigger:
  • Timer
    • Events
      • Time - Timer Expires
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Countdown Timer - Destroy TimerWindow
      • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for Timer with title Wave 1 ends in:
      • Set TimerWindow = (Last created timer window)
      • Countdown Timer - Show TimerWindow
      • Countdown Timer - Start Timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 30 seconds

it makes it simple to have Timer as a plain variable, not variable array, plus you have to create the window, set it to a variable, show it, then start it.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
