This is my timer winow start (its run from another trigger)

Code:
Mission 1 Red Timer
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Hero - Make Player 1 (Red) Heroes gain 0.00% experience from future kills
        Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for Mission_Red_Timer with title Time Left
        Countdown Timer - Start Mission_Red_Timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 300.00 seconds
        Countdown Timer - Show (Last created timer window) for Player 1 (Red)
        Wait 300.00 seconds
        Countdown Timer - Destroy (Last created timer window)

The timer starts in the top right but as soon this trigger starts spwaning units it disappears.

So pretty much as soon as a unit is spawned in the area the timer dissappears but the timer still runs you just cant see it.

Code:
Five Minutes 20 Kills Red
    Events
        Time - Every 5.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Create 5 Ghoul (01) for Player 12 (Brown) at (Random point in Red Spawns <gen>) facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees

Code:
        Wait 300.00 seconds
        Countdown Timer - Destroy (Last created timer window)
Remove the timer window destroy function?

This will cause leaks by the way.

so putting the wait 300 seconds (5 minutes) it skips it and just destroys the timer window ?

I think yes; the countdown timer is already set to expire in 300 seconds. The Destroy function is for example: (Quest type map): "You have 300 seconds to leave the city!" Now, If unit leaves specific region before those 300 seconds, destroy last created countdown timer.

Waits aren't accurate.
Make a global real variable called ticker.

As you can tell, my GUI isn't the best. I code in Jass 100% of the time. :)
Code:
Five Minutes 20 Kills Red
    Events
        Time - Every 5.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        if ticker == 300 then turn off(this trigger)
        destroy timer window
        skip remaining actions
        Unit - Create 5 Ghoul (01) for Player 12 (Brown) at (Random point in Red Spawns <gen>) facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
        Set ticker = ticker + 1

By the way, kc102, how can you know Jass better than GUi? GUI is silly compared to Jass, lol!

Theres this phenomenon with some Jass users. GUI becomes hard to read.

And I haven't made anything in GUI, in ages. But my code gave the basic idea, just not the exact function calls.

    Recently tried out ChatGPT about WE triggering. Wow it's capable of giving a somewhat legitimate response.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am sure it has read all the info on the forums here
  • The Helper The Helper:
    i think triggering is just scripting and chatgpt is real good at code
  • vypur85 vypur85:
    Yeah I suppose so. It's interesting how it can explain in so much detail.
  • vypur85 vypur85:
    But yet it won't work.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    it does a bad ass job doing excel vba code it has leveled me up at my job when I deal with excel that is for sure
  • vypur85 vypur85:
    Nice! I love Excel coding as well. Has always been using Google to help me. Maybe I'll use ChatGPT next time when I need it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    yeah whatever it puts out even if it is not perfect I can fix it and the latest version of chatgpt can create websites from pictures it will not be long until it can do that with almost all the tools

    A lot more low quality content, a lot more half-baked stuff.
  • jonas jonas:
    If you're good enough to spot the mistakes of the answers you don't need it in the first place. If you aren't good enough, you're gonna rely on some half-correct stuff
  • The Helper The Helper:
    the earlier AI is and has been used extensively for publishing news and other content for a while now
  • jonas jonas:
    I used to be active on quora, it's now flooded with extremely similar, superficial answers that often miss the point of the question
