    Trouble recognizing a variable

    You're creating the visibility modifiers in a loop -- which means you create a new one for each player. So if there are multiple players in the SpectatingPlayers group, then multiple visibility modifiers will be created. However, each time you create one, you set the SpectateModifier variable...

    Another Trigger Issue

    You should be able to do this with only one event, like so: Exploding is Fun Events Unit - A unit Uses an item Conditions (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Explodey Item Actions Set unlucky_player = (Random player from (All enemies of (Owner of...

    View entire map?

    Pressing 'c' toggles the "game camera" on and off. So if you want to switch quickly between the regular view and your entire map view, use 'c'. If you want to reset the editor camera to the default zoom and angle, press Ctrl+Shift+C (or click the middle mouse button).

    Dialogue Crash

    Your actions for clearing the dialog box, creating the buttons, and showing it are all inside the Player Group loop, so that's getting repeated for every player. It looked like your AllyingPlayer variable was supposed to be the same as (Owner of (Casting unit)). Try this: Treaty Events...

    Need Simple Help

    It probably does leak... I gave up on looking for leaks a long time ago. I usually don't make maps that are complicated to the point where leakage becomes an actual problem. Also, I greatly favor basic and clean code over messy and efficient code.

    Need Simple Help

    ^ That's a good tutorial if you're making a multi-level map, but if you want something really simple, this should do: Untitled Trigger 001 Events Time - Elapsed game time is 10.00 seconds Conditions Actions Unit - Create 2 Footman for Player 2 (Blue) at (Center...

    Trigger Problem.. This is a tough one.. I think

    This looks like an interesting trigger, but I'm having trouble understanding what the various "AMOI" variables are being used for. If you're just going to use constant integers for the array indexes, then why bother using arrays in the first place? Perhaps you could explain what each of the...

    Leaderboard Problems!

    My guess is that the leaderboard is being updated for Player 1 before his number of kills is updated. Try removing the event from the Update Board trigger, and instead have the Kills trigger run the Update Board trigger. Alternatively, you could try putting a small wait action (about 0.05...

    About texts ingame

    There's always a way... you just might have to go in a different direction than you're expecting. If I understand correctly, you could save the multiplier for each unit in that unit's custom value. Then you could use (Level of (Killing unit)) x (Custom value of (Dying unit)) to get the...

    Infinite loop?

    The best way you can help us help you is by explaining what you intend to use this for in as much detail as possible. I recall you said that you were just using the chat message event for testing. It looks like you want the unit to be updated automatically whenever the variable changes. If...

    Infinite loop?

    Well, as long as the condition in Trigger 2 is true, Trigger 3 will run every .5 seconds. Keep in mind that the condition will only work as expected as long as there's only one unit in the region at a time. As a last resort, you could set Integer to 0 after you create the unit -- that should...
