                        LanternTimer[1] Equal to 2
            Then - Actions
                Special Effect - Destroy Lantern[1]
                Game - Display to (All players) the text: ((Name of Player 1 (Red)) +  Your Lantern has Died out.)
            Else - Actions


In the trigger above after LanternTimer hits 0 the special effects remain.. i have no clue why...

the actual trigger (i edit above) has the same thing 3 times 1 for each player. someone told me it might be because the death animation might be over 1 second, i dont think thats it.

LanternTimer is a Intiger Array(3)
Lantern is a special effect variable.

I suspect these two are conflicting somehow. I also suggest you set the variable in each condition. It not getting destroyed sounds like your losing the special effect somehow. (Especially considering your doing this every second.)

Every second, you create a new special effect and set the value of Lantern[1] to that special effect, leaving all the previously created effects without variables, leaking them

Either you create 1 special effect at the very beginning of that timer, and not create any other effect

Or delete it every second before replacing it with another

its clearly already doing that

Special Effect - Destroy Lantern[1]
Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the chest of Player 0007 <gen> using war3mapImported\TorchHumanOmni.mdx
Set Lantern[1] = (Last created special effect)

variable Lantern[1] should never have to be set unless lanterntimer[1] is greater then 1, because after it hits lower there shouldent be any special effect to set anymore.
if i Set LanternTimer[1] = (LanternTimer[1] - 1)
theres no point in using that in all conditions either, as then it would be just pushing itself into nagative numbers.

you also have to remember ALL of those if/then/else are used no matter what, none of them are put in each others "Else" position.




Edit: Trigger fixed, i remade the entier thing, the trigger is also now 1/4th the size and 3 times better working.

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.

    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled
