can you post the trigger where u made the timer start (with all the start, create, show, etc... things)

That way, i can see if there is a mistake in soething else then this! cause i cannot find any mistake in this one!

And is your timer used in another trigger or anything?

The timer is used no where else. Here is the trigger where i made the timer:

Start Timer
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Start Timer
    Actions
        Countdown Timer - Start timerChannelComplete[1] as a One-shot timer that will expire in 7.00 seconds
        Set timerChannelComplete[1] = (Last started timer)
        Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title Test

    Actions
        Countdown Timer - Start timerChannelComplete[1] as a One-shot timer that will expire in 7.00 seconds
        [B][SIZE="4"]Set timerChannelComplete[1] = (Last started timer)[/SIZE][/B]
        Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title Test

Ok, first, try removing bolded trigger, is 100% useless since you tell the action to create a timer for your timerchannelcomplete[1], in that case, automaticly state that timerchannelcomplete[1] = to last created timer.

And create a variable for your timer window, set this variable = last created timer window. That way, you remove the window for the timer you created in your last trigger.

Try this and if it doesnt work, tell me what happen!

Will try it out later today. Gotta go eat some lunch, thanks for the help :thup:

Adding an array won't do anything. It's useless. (Unless you actually need the array)

You should first CREATE the timer, then set the variable, then start that timer using the variable. No wonder it doesn't work

So honey.. How do i create the timer?

 

[Strilanc]

You need to initialize timerChannelComplete[1]. It starts off as 'no timer', and you can't make 'no timer' countdown.

try this

timer
event
Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
condition
(Ability being cast) Equal to Start Timer
action
countdown timer - start (variable of your timer, it doesn't need "set variable" action, just a name, no array, only the tipe, timer) as a one shot timer that will expire in 7.00
Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (timer name, with variable, same as above action) with title Test

if still don't work, maybe event and condition is the problem, because this trigger work perfect in my map, if you want, the trigger with event timer expire that i can imagine if it in your map is:

timer
event
timer - (timer name, the timer variable) expires
condition
action
Game - Display to (All players) for 45.00 seconds the text: Timer has expired.

it has different action in my map though, try it, and if it is working please give me +rep, i need it

 

[Furberg]

thanks, i will try it out now.

if it is working please give me +rep, i need it

lol you are awesome, you NEED +rep

 

[aredee]

Set timerChannelComplete[1] = (Last started timer)

You don't need this, it is useless to state this vartiable is a timer cause you say it in the first action when you start ''variable''.

Just erease this and see what happen.
