Mysterious Creeps spawning Problem

I have made a rpg level based map that ive been beta testing for the last few nights called 'Tomb of Jarahcon', so far feedback has been very good and already have a list of 9 players that are helping beta testing on east. Its taken me a couple of weeks to create and everything is operating perfectly...

Until level 7 some of the creeps fail to spawn, strange considering it uses the exact same trigger that every other level uses:

Code:
spawncreeps
    Events
        Time - spawn_timer expires
    Conditions
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                combatmusicO Equal to False
            Then - Actions
                Sound - Stop music Immediately
                Sound - Play Combat <gen>
                Set combatmusicO = True
            Else - Actions
        Set creep_wavecounter = (creep_wavecounter + 1)
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                creep_wavecounter Equal to 6
            Then - Actions
                Trigger - Run BOSS <gen> (checking conditions)
                Countdown Timer - Pause spawn_timer
                Set creep_wavecounter = 0
                Set combatmusicO = False
            Else - Actions
        Set TEMP_POINT = (Center of spawn1[map_number])
        Unit - Create 5 creep_core[LEVEL] for Player 12 (Brown) at TEMP_POINT facing Default building facing degrees
        Unit - Create 2 creep_support[LEVEL] for Player 12 (Brown) at TEMP_POINT facing Default building facing degrees
        Unit - Create 1 creep_heavy[LEVEL] for Player 12 (Brown) at TEMP_POINT facing Default building facing degrees
        Set TEMP_POINT = (Center of spawn2[map_number])
        Unit - Create 5 creep_core[LEVEL] for Player 12 (Brown) at TEMP_POINT facing Default building facing degrees
        Unit - Create 2 creep_support[LEVEL] for Player 12 (Brown) at TEMP_POINT facing Default building facing degrees
        Unit - Create 1 creep_heavy[LEVEL] for Player 12 (Brown) at TEMP_POINT facing Default building facing degrees
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_TEMP_POINT)

This is the spawn trigger that im using and for the other levels of the map it works perfectly, EXCEPT for level 7, where only the core creeps spawn and the end of level boss.

If anyone can shed some light on this peculiar accurance that would be much appreciated.

Code:
Initialization
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        ...
        Set creep_heavy[5] = Overlord 5
        Set creep_BOSS[5] = Crypt Lord 5
        Set creep_core[6] = Tzeench 6
        Set creep_support[6] = Slanni 6
        Set creep_heavy[6] = Knight of Nurg 6
        Set creep_BOSS[6] = Lord of Lightning 6
        Set creep_core[7] = Khornate 7  <--------spawns
        Set creep_support[7] = Eye Fiend 7  <--------fails to spawn
        Set creep_heavy[7] = Flesh Keeper 7  <--------fails to spawn
        Set creep_BOSS[7] = Bruizer Contraption 7  <--------spawns
        Set creep_core[8] = Faceless Ones 8
        Set creep_support[8] = Wraith 8
        ...

With upmost positivity, i have indeed set the creeps for level 7 :p

To me and everyone else I presume this is unsolvable as I have looked over the triggers numerous times and it all seems absolutly legit:banghead: .

But considering that, there has to be a reason why its acting the way it is, or does Warcraft editor occasionally do random things like this?

Eye Fiend

Flesh Keeper

What happens if you replace those 2 unit types by other unit types?
Same bug?

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
