Stopping unit attack

[AgentPaper]

im making a tower in my td that shoots rapid for a second, then stops shooting for 2, and repeats. here is the trigger i tried
Missle Towers

    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Missle Tower) or (((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Missle Tower 2) or (((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Missle Tower 3) or (((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal  and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Pause (Picked unit)
                Wait 2.00 game-time seconds
                Unit - Unpause all units
        Wait 1.00 game-time seconds
        Trigger - Run (This trigger) (ignoring conditions)

it pauses the unit but it stays paused for some reason. also i think this may be a bad way to go about it, since the tower has upgrade and pausing it makes it so you cant upgrade 2/3 of the time. any other way to stop it attacking?

Try this:

    Events
        Time - Every 4 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Missle Tower) or (((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Missle Tower 2) or (((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Missle Tower 3) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Pause (Picked unit)
                Wait 2.00 game-time seconds
                Unit - Unpause (Picked unit)

Edit: Ah yep I figured out whats wrong with that code. If you have a wait command Warcraft forgets picked units and stuff so set your picked unit to a variable and then refer to it as than instead of picked unit.

actually that is the same one i used a while ago, also didnt work, exept 3 instead of 4 secs

Make an ability based on "Phoenix fire" that shoots as fast as you want, with the missile that your towers normally would use.
Turn all attacks of your towers off.

Every 5 seconds:
- pick every tower: add "phoenix fire"
- wait 2 seconds
- pick every tower: remove "phoenix fire"


Sounds crazy, but it might just work
