Simple Trigger...

[OMGOMGOMG]

Lawls, I can't believe I'm posting this here... I'm pro with the Trigger Editor and all but:

• Build
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes construction
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Constructed structure)) Equal to Firepit
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add a 60.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Constructed structure)

OK so the base of this is that it detects if a unit finishes construction, it Identifies what the constructed construction is then it adds a 60 second expiration Timer. BUT It's not adding the 60 second expiration timer to the unit. So, when the firepit is constructed, it works, but it doesn't show the expiration timer. Maybe It's because it's a Generic expiration timer... I don't know.

I believe the timer won't show. But it does die after 60 seconds, right?

Does it need to be a structure specifically? You could make it mechanical, add the Structure classification and set its movement speed to 0, simulating the effect of a structure without actually being one.

Hmm try making one Trigger for testing purposes like this

• varFirePit
  • Unit - A unit Finishes construction
  • (Unit-type of (Constructed structure)) Equal to Firepit
  • Set varFirePit = Last Constructed Unit
  • Unit - Add a 60.00 second Generic expiration timer to varFirePit

that was a raw code,but you get the point, my idea is that this Test Trigger will Specify the Firepit you require the Timer to be added to. Hope i helped a bit

Ps. edited to correct known mistakes

Try using Triggering Unit instead of Constructed Structure.

Try adding an expiration timer to a preplaced structure. It doesn't show, but the structure dies after the timer finishes anyway. I think that's the problem here.

Yes, Kaerf is right, I just tested it and expiration timers do work on buildings, they just don't show the timer bar.

OK, thanks all.

 

[KaerfNomekop]

Yes. Normal units work fine with expiration timers.

@ Dianamod: I know it works and all and

@KaerfNomekop: Thanks
