timer2

Countdown Timer - Destroy (Last created timer window)

change last created timer window to your timer variable

the timer variable is an "timer (timer)" or an "timer window (timerdialog)"?

I've changed it now, it should work. Bold parts is where I've changed something, so change it so it looks like the bold part instead.
Underlined is where I've added something, so just add it too.

You didn't declare the timer; you got to split the trigger into two(waits are never accurate). First, create a timer that goes as far as before the wait. Set the Dying Unit into a Unit Array variable, and then create another trigger. Also make the timer and the window arrays to make it MPI, and add the events Timer[1],Timer[2]... expires. Add the actions 1 to number of players Integer A,
If Time Remaining In Timer[Integer A] equal to 0, then do the actions you want.

 

[X-maul]

Set Timer window = (last created timer window)

the Timer Window is the variable?

hehe i really dont get it hehe

 

[Sinan2]

Yeah, I think it's the variable.

 

[X-maul]

but when 2 heroes dies 1 in 10 seconds and 1 in 20 seconds when number 1's timer has expired number 2's timer will be destroyed and number 1's timer will stand still at 0 seconds

 

[Siretu]

Yes it is a timer window variable.
