Help with timer

[Firezy]

Just wondering how would I make it so that the timer doesn't repeat every time a hero moves into the region

• Send

    • Unit - A unit enters Gauntlet0 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • ((Entering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set p_Gauntlet = (Center of GauntletStart <gen>)
    • Unit - Move (Entering unit) instantly to p_Gauntlet
    • Game - Display to (Player group((Owner of (Entering unit)))) the text: |cCF0041FFYou have ...
    • Countdown Timer - Start t_gauntlet as a One-shot timer that will expire in 20.00 seconds
    • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for t_gauntlet with title |cFFFFCC00Ice Gaunt...
    • Wait 20.00 seconds
    • Countdown Timer - Destroy (Last created timer window)
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_p_Gauntlet)

Tell me, what does the trigger do?

I think you should remove the Wait 20.00, and set the Countdown Timer - Destroy (Last created timer window) to a new trigger.

It'll be finished.

It's for a dungeon, basically what happened is that

1. Unit enters region
2. Unit is instantly moved into another region
3. A timer is created counting down (20 sec) until the time that step 1. doesn't work

But what happens is that more than one timer window is created, & the timer is reset and I want that to not happen

Create a Variable/Type:
t_gauntlet_window/Timer Window

• Send
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Gauntlet0 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • ((Entering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set p_Gauntlet = (Center of GauntletStart <gen>)
    • Unit - Move (Entering unit) instantly to p_Gauntlet
    • Game - Display to (Player group((Owner of (Entering unit)))) the text: |cCF0041FFYou have ...
    • Countdown Timer - Start t_gauntlet as a One-shot timer that will expire in 20.00 seconds
    • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for t_gauntlet with title |cFFFFCC00Ice Gaunt...
    • Set t_gauntlet_window = (Last created timer window)
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_p_Gauntlet)

• NewTrigger
  • Events
    • Time - t_gauntlet expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Countdown Timer - Destroy t_gauntlet_window

That was what I meant.

It still doesn't solve my problem of the timer not showing up multiple times and resetting every time a person enters the region

When you disable trigger it can not fire again until you enable it.
'isGauntletWinVis' is boolean variable with default starting value.

Okay that works for the multiple timers but is there a way to make it so that if a unit enters that the timer doesn't reset everytime a person enters?

And yes I want it to turn off after all this happens and it gets turned on after a boss is defeated
