Help with a Food Trigger

I'm making a map, and in this map you start with 10 food (and can only get a maximum of 10 food), and every quarter day (120 seconds) you lose 5 food. When it reaches 0, your unit loses 20hp every 2 seconds and gets a spell effect until the unit gets his food past 0. You can gain 2 food be eating cooked meat, and 1 food for eating raw meat. I do this by using Chickens that count as 1 food (perm-invis, invulnerable, size 0, no selection, no minimap view of the unit, and no attack). I use 2 different variables for each player: RedFood (integer) and RedChicken (Unit-Group). RedFood keeps track of the actual Food count so I know when to take away food and when to start damaging the unit. At the start I spawn the 10 chickens for Red and add them to the food group and set RedFood to 10. Every 120 seconds I lower RedFood by 5 and kill 10 random units from RedChicken. The problem is that for some reason the food lowers by 4 every quarter day instead of 5, and the unit takes damage when it hits 3 instead of 0. I have 5 triggers for this:

Can somebody please tell me what I did wrong? I am really stumped here.

I appreciate the help! Thanks ahead of time to anybody who helps.
 
On trigger 8 y dont you have it Less than or equal too instead of just less than?
and in trigger 3 does the Tumman have Drunken Haze? you have to give it to him if he doesnt. (this can be done by a simple trigger but u should just edit the tumman to have drunken haze)
 
I set it to 0 so that whenever the quarter/half day ends, and it subtracts -5 from RedFood, it doesn't go into the negatives and screw up the trigger. Why set it to 0 when it already equals 0?
 
Dude im talkin about Less than or Equal to, no 0
Use less than or = not just less than...
 
But why just set it to 0 if it equals 0? Less than or equal to 0 will set it to 0 when a unit dies. So what difference does it make if it's less than 0 or less than or equal to 0?
 
Oh now i understand wat ur saying... ok ya less than is fine... :o
 
I still have the ? if the tum man has drunken haze or not...
 
Yes, he does have Drunken Haze. Well, it's actually a custom ability, but it was based off of Drunken Haze. That's not the problem though, the unit does get the "Haze" and they lose everything like they should, but instead of losing 5 a day, 4 a day is lost...and the unit starts to lose hp and gets hazed when he still has 3 food.

    Guys just a heads up I am going to be shutting the site down soon. I am just waiting on the NUON people to decide whether they want to transfer forum data and keep the discord. My email is [email protected] for anyone that wants to keep in touch and I have a facebook too. I will make an official post later. Love you guys and will miss everyone!

    Oh no - please don't lose the Nuon content

  • The Helper The Helper:
    Someone email AtariAge and see if they want me to transfer the forum data over to it
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Could probably keep NUON stuff around here if we wanted.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm what to do about the World Editor site though?
  • Stephen Stephen:
    I'd rather personally just own a backup of the Nuon data than see it go to AtariAge honestly. If it gets enshittified as per usual, or if some of the "regular" Jaguar folks get there, it's not gonna be fun
  • The Helper The Helper:
    There will be a github of the forum data so the NUON Forum Data I guess would be available there
  • The Helper The Helper:
    World Editor is technically Ryoko stuff not mine you guys can keep that I am not in that even
  • jonas jonas:
    :( end of an era :(
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Dont think of it as an end jonas - think of it as a beginning, because really my friend that is what it is.
