And so one, each wave trigger sets that trigger as the active wave trigger, then the top 2 triggers turn this trigger on and off, i believe that the problem is somewhere there but can not find it?

GFreak45 · Nov 16, 2011

heres the problem:

Trigger:

Unit Group - Pick ever unit in Tempgroup and do (Actions)
- Loop - Actions
  - Do some actions
  - Custom Script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Tempgroup)

should be:

Trigger:

Actions
- Unit Group - Pick every unit in Tempgroup and do (Actions)
  - Loop - Actions
    - Do Some Actions
- Custom Script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Tempgroup)

it cant be in the loop or it destroys it when it does the actions for the first unit, then theres no group and it does nothing
same with the location

EDIT: can you put your triggers in [noparse][/noparse] tags when they are that long, took me a half an hour to scroll through it all

Slayerxx · Nov 16, 2011

So this would prevent the wave triggers turning off? i will see thankyou

Slayerxx · Nov 16, 2011

Ill be damed it work, i dont know how but it worked thankyou so much XD

GFreak45 · Nov 16, 2011

well basically it wasnt making all the units run out, so they werent being killed, so the food was never hitting 0

Slayerxx · Nov 16, 2011
