Dune Map Big Trigger Pissing Me Off

Ok first of i am making a dune map. Im am having a problem with one of my triggers. [If u have seen the movies or read the book u will know what i am talking about next if not ill try to make it simple] I want the player to think worms are coming to attack them every so often. This only happens on spice patches where they are harvesting and only kills units around there. I want to represent the worm attack by creating some siege tanks there and blowing them up there. By trigger all units will die in an area around the spice patches.A message and countdown will be provided as a warning obviously. The wom attack does not affect air units.Heres what my trigger is and then ill tell u what goes wrong
-Who will trigger afect? All Players

-Conditions:Elapsed sanerio time is at least 300 game seconds.[5 minutes]

-Actions[here we go]
Display for current player [message totaling 18 words]
Show minimap ping for current player at spice 1-7[Note this is a multiple location effect. there are a total of 7 spice pataches thus making 7 differnt spice locations. Example Spice 1
Wait for 2000 milli sec.
modify countdown timer set 20 seconds. They have 20 sec to evac any units they may have on the 7 spice patches.
wait 18000 milli
create 5 siege tanks at worm 1-7[worm is just a bigger location around the spice patch that is the area of death]
wait 50 milli sec.
-kill all any unit for all players at worm 1-7
this trigger repeats itsself every 6 minutes after this by adding 400 game sconds to the condition everytime.
Here are the problems
1.Trigger time is not acurate
2.Sometimes more than 1 blast happens like after they blow up they blow up again for some weird reason. This usually happens the second time worm effect comes.
I am out of ideas of what the hell is going on i try and try but nothing is working for me i need help badly!!!
 
1.Trigger time is not acurate

This is because game time is faster then real time. The wait triggers are accurate to the real time while countdown timers use game time.
2.Sometimes more than 1 blast happens like after they blow up they blow up again for some weird reason. This usually happens the second time worm effect comes.

This is because you set the trigger for all players, if there are more then 1 players selected, and theres a create trigger for 2 units that are for 2 players each, it instead creates 4 units for the 2 players, each. To fix this, you need to change the players.
 
???

What if i just did 1 explosion for each player because I only wanted 8 and there are 8 human players.
 
???

O and you have any suggestions of how to figure that time stuff that would be sweet.

    It's actually remarkably easy to make mayonnaise though. Fun fact, it USED to kind of be a French mother sauce. I believe that Careme considered it one, it may have been aioli but that has also built a different meaning than it used to. An aioli is just mayonnaise I mixed with other shit typically, I didn't start it don't come at me
  • Varine Varine:
    It's very hard to do it on a large scale though
  • Varine Varine:
    Depending on how you pour the oil the consistency can vary wildly, but that's true for most emulsions. I can only make about two quarts at a time with my robo coup, and if I have to make several in series because I forgot to order it becomes really obvious even when I do it. We have to wait and mix them all together to make sure we have the same thing.
  • Varine Varine:
    Hollandaise is also kind of like that, emulsions require a very steady hand to do exactly the same every time.
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I live in an age with electricity so it's way fucking faster, but when I was just a boy trying to find my place I had some hardcore chefs that made use do things like that by hand. It is WAY easier to get right by hand because you control it and can feel it, but it takes soooooo much longer. And on the scale a modern kitchen requires... I serve 400-500 guests on average per day right now, if I had 100 then we could do things way better
  • Varine Varine:
    But we can't do that. In the winter yeah, but I HAVE to get people through here right now so I can afford the staff that we CAN do that. We have about 100 days of summer, and if that summer doesn't make us what it will, then I can't operate the other most of the year with my staff. The owner is talking about closing two days a week to cut down on labor, I told him he should cut down on vacations and it did not go great. I do think I won though, I have to keep my fucking core staff and they have to be gainfully employed
  • Varine Varine:
    Sure some of them might take a second job, but I can't just cut my entire staff to unlivable hours, nor can I can cut them off all winter if I want them to come back.
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, there is no fucking way I'm pulling these hours come september. I only do this right now because I have to, the second I don't have to be the one doing it I won't be
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a 5 person core staff in the kitchen, not including me or Chef Ben
  • Varine Varine:
    Though two of those people are likely not making it this year. One of them has been replaced, the other I am kind of trying to. He's being a giant bitch, today I had to get onto him because in the three hours before I left he had taken like thirty minutes for cigarette breaks
  • Varine Varine:
    And he was also complaining to me the other day that he was out of weed so couldn't smoke any before work that day, and was confused about why I was annoyed he was telling me, his boss, that he is smoking weed everyday before work.

    Like yeah I can tell. I don't need to fucking know.
  • Varine Varine:
    So now he's getting scrutinized and will not be top of the list. I know I don't have the smartest people but I do expect them to have some common fucking sense
  • Varine Varine:
    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best

  • Varine Varine:
    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it
  • Varine Varine:
    Eventually we'll get it balanced, we'
  • Varine Varine:
    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit
  • Varine Varine:
    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know
