[Joker(Div)]

what he wrote is fine except

Countdown Timer - Start (Expiring timer) as a One-shot timer that will expire in 120.00 seconds

should be

Countdown Timer - Start *YourTimerVariable* as a repeating timer that will expire in 120.00 seconds

also, just change the event to

event
 After 1 second of time

its something like that idk b/c i dont have WE up

[Masterfrog]

you shouldn't base it one a two minute basis, because it's not accurate. you should instead make two triggers, one that starts it off teh first time, and another that makes it restarts when it reaches 0

 

[Prometheus]

Or you can use my way which uses a repeating timer making the amount of lines of code less.

Player - Add 300 to (Player((Integer A))) Current lumber

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)...how do i get the (Actions)??

its "red" wich means i cant leave it at actions

RoC doesn't have "multiple" actions.
You'll have to use two loops, one for gold and one for lumber.

Alternatively, use "trigger run" to call an otherwise unused trigger with both actions.

okay so i have this so fare, ignore the changing of the message and the changing of the gold and lumber
my problem now is that WC shuts down as soon as timer hits 0

> Trigger - Run (This trigger)

Endless loop...


Event:
Conditions:
Actions:
- Player - Add 1000 to Player(Integer A)'s Gold
- Player - Add 1000 to Player(Integer A)'s Lumber

And have your current trigger call that one.

okay so yeah i got
>trigger - run (this trigger)

i just cant find the endless loop or how to get it or where.
or am i just totaly not understanding what you are trying to say?

 

[AceHart]

See that trigger in post #13?
Create a trigger that looks exactly like that.

Once done, find this line:
> For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Trigger - Run (This trigger) (checking conditions))

And replace "This trigger" with the new one you created.
You also don't need to check any conditions, there aren't any.
