help with timer

[kingofdeth]

im making a king of the mountain type map where i need a timer array where it keeps track of when the person becomes king and then the timer starts for that player (only that player can see it his timer) when he loses the role of the king the timer stops. can anyone help me out on these triggers.

i also need an ability where when you attack you knockback the unit you are attacking.

another question
for my map king of the mountain i am having trouble using the ramps in the terrain pallet. It is supposed to work but it doesn't. I am attaching my map to see if anyone can fix it.

 

[darkassaisin]

ok i will help u with the ramp thing. ramps can be hard u have to give them space too. i will do that when i get upstairs. and the first thing u said that u want it to store their time. u can't se a coundown timer and do u want to just make it so it adds points to a interger array and make a leaderboard show the points? i think that would be the best (and the easiest way to do it) cause i no how to do that anyway.

Ramps generally need a lot of room and need to be STRAIGHT. It can only ramp ONE level at a time.

Notice the blue dots. Thats the pathing map. Make walls straight. When doing a corner, move in 90° directions. Sometimes it doesn't take - move back and forth a couple times.

I also have a small imperfection - don't settle for that. Take your time on your map, be proud of your work. Level the terrain and try again. Practice makes perfect.

I believe there is a problem with the trigger "Timer Maker". You can't start a timer on Map Initialization. Use "Time - Elapsed game-time" as the event instead.

 

[kingofdeth]

it still defeated me but i saw it create the timer. Other than defeating me it also made two timer windows.

 

[kingofdeth]

fixed the defeat problem but now i have a bunch of timers
my new trigger

Timer Maker
Events
    Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds
Conditions
Actions
    For each (Integer A) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
        Loop - Actions
            Countdown Timer - Start (Last started timer) as a One-shot timer that will expire in 300.00 seconds
            Set KingTimer[(Player number of (Player((Integer A))))] = (Last started timer)
            Countdown Timer - Pause KingTimer[(Player number of (Player((Integer A))))]
            Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for KingTimer[(Player number of (Player((Integer A))))] with title ((Name of (Player((Integer A)))) + 's Time Left...)
            Set KingTimerWindow[(Player number of (Player((Integer A))))] = (Last created timer window)
            Countdown Timer - Show KingTimerWindow[(Player number of (Player((Integer A))))] for (Player((Integer A)))

 

[kingofdeth]

now this is better but it still creates one for each player. I want it to create one for the one player. It keeps creating a lot of timer windows. Here is my trigger.

Events
    Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds
Conditions
Actions
    If ((Player 1 (Red) slot status) Equal to Is playing) then do (Player Group - Add Player 1 (Red) to AllPlayers) else do (Do nothing)
    If ((Player 2 (Blue) slot status) Equal to Is playing) then do (Player Group - Add Player 2 (Blue) to AllPlayers) else do (Do nothing)
    If ((Player 3 (Teal) slot status) Equal to Is playing) then do (Player Group - Add Player 3 (Teal) to AllPlayers) else do (Do nothing)
    If ((Player 4 (Purple) slot status) Equal to Is playing) then do (Player Group - Add Player 4 (Purple) to AllPlayers) else do (Do nothing)
    If ((Player 5 (Yellow) slot status) Equal to Is playing) then do (Player Group - Add Player 5 (Yellow) to AllPlayers) else do (Do nothing)
    If ((Player 6 (Orange) slot status) Equal to Is playing) then do (Player Group - Add Player 6 (Orange) to AllPlayers) else do (Do nothing)
    If ((Player 7 (Green) slot status) Equal to Is playing) then do (Player Group - Add Player 7 (Green) to AllPlayers) else do (Do nothing)
    If ((Player 8 (Pink) slot status) Equal to Is playing) then do (Player Group - Add Player 8 (Pink) to AllPlayers) else do (Do nothing)
    Player Group - Pick every player in AllPlayers and do (Actions)
        Loop - Actions
            Countdown Timer - Start (Last started timer) as a One-shot timer that will expire in 300.00 seconds
            Set KingTimer[(Player number of (Picked player))] = (Last started timer)
            Countdown Timer - Pause KingTimer[(Player number of (Picked player))]
            Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for KingTimer[(Player number of (Picked player))] with title ((Name of (Picked player)) + 's Time)
            Set KingTimerWindow[(Player number of (Picked player))] = (Last created timer window)

Why doesn't that work. Maybe it is pick every player action. Maybe it needs to be a for each integer. But that didn't work either when i tryed it. I need a lot of help here. Please help. My map is almost finished except for creep spawns and items. Please help.

 

[kingofdeth]

i got it to work
