Timer showing to all players instead of triggering player

I am attempting to incorporate a respawn timer into my map which starts whenever a player's hero dies. This timer should only be shown for the owner of the hero that has did.

This is my trigger:

timer
Events
Unit - A unit Dies
Conditions
(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Survivor
Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
Then - Actions
Countdown Timer - Start timer_Copy as a One-shot timer that will expire in 20.00 seconds
Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for timer_Copy with title Survivor Respawn:
Countdown Timer - Show (Last created timer window) for Player 1 (Red)
Countdown Timer - Change the color of the title for mytimerwindow_Copy to (100.00%, 100.00%, 50.00%) with 0.00% transparency
Wait 20.00 seconds
Countdown Timer - Destroy mytimerwindow_Copy
Else - Actions


If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 2 (Blue)
Then - Actions
Countdown Timer - Start timer_Copy_2 as a One-shot timer that will expire in 20.00 seconds
Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for timer_Copy_2 with title Survivor Respawn:
Countdown Timer - Show (Last created timer window) for Player 2 (Blue)
Countdown Timer - Change the color of the title for mytimerwindow_Copy_2 to (100.00%, 100.00%, 50.00%) with 0.00% transparency
Wait 20.00 seconds
Countdown Timer - Destroy mytimerwindow_Copy_2
Else - Actions

This carries on for the rest of the players. For some reason, this trigger shows the timer when a hero dies to ALL players, no matter who the owner was. So for example, if the player 1 killed a hero from player 2's side, the timer for the respawn of that hero would be shown to every player, and not just player 2. Does anyone know why this might be happening? Thanks in advance!
 
No need to create so many if/then else.
Just make it like this.
Unit dies.
<triggers>
Show (last created timer window) for Owner of triggering unit
Haven't tried it myself but this should work.

Also no need to create so many timer variables. Create one Timer variable and set the number of arrays to number of players.
And when creating a Timer in the trigger do the following:
Start timer [ Player number of owner of triggering unit]
 
You are indeed correct! I was overcomplicating things massively! Thank you, it seems to be working a lot better now, and it definitely looks a lot neater :)

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
