Timer expires[array]

[RedOrb]

Hi all,

Is there a way to use this event and refer to players 1-10? And then in the conditions/actions refer to the triggering array element?
Say if I wanted to detect when any player's timer had expired, and upon expiring, create a new unit for that player at a center of region, would that be possible? Or would I need to create a separate event (and trigger!) for each player?

You can use timer arrays, but there's no way to detect which one's expired if you put them all into one trigger's events. A separate trigger will be needed for each player.

Ok Thanks Kaerf ;]

I hope you understood ;/ I did it by mind, it's maybe not the right spelling of the actions

Awesome find. Never knew there is such thing as 'Expiring Timer' in GUI until now. I guess Timers are relatively GUI friendly now.

 

[KaerfNomekop]

Oh. Never knew that.
In that case, you could put them all into one trigger and add conditions to it, checking for the expired timer.

But you couldn't ask for the 'array of expring timer', so by using this you can
Com'on guys, tricky. Be tricky!
