Timer window trouble

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

        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.

    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
