Trigger Turns Itself Off?

Hello, I am just working on my survival map and I am just making a checking trigger which checks to see how many units owned by player 12 (Brown) are in a region, I have done most of the leaks I can see. The one thing which has stumped me is that, I have an even in it which constantly displays the ammount. Now when a unit enters the region it sets it too one, but turns it off. I have no trigger to turn it off or and other events/actions. Please help!

Trigger:
  • Zombie Count
    • Events
      • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Set TempGroup[50] = (Units in The Castle <gen>)
      • Set Zombies = (Number of units in (Units in The Castle <gen> owned by Player 12 (Brown)))
      • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Zombies: + (String(Zombies)))
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup[50] and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • If - Conditions
              • (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Zombie
            • Then - Actions
              • Set TempPlayers[2] = (All players)
              • Player Group - Pick every player in TempPlayers[2] and do (Actions)
                • Loop - Actions
                  • Player - Set (Picked player) Current lumber to (Number of units in (Units in The Castle <gen> owned by Player 12 (Brown)))
              • Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_TempPlayers[2])
            • Else - Actions
      • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_TempGroup[50])
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Number of units in (Units in The Castle <gen> owned by Player 12 (Brown))) Greater than or equal to 100
        • Then - Actions
          • Set TempPlayers[1] = (All players)
          • Player Group - Pick every player in TempPlayers[1] and do (Actions)
            • Loop - Actions
              • Game - Defeat (Picked player) with the message: There were too many...
          • Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_TempPlayers[1])
        • Else - Actions
 
This is a really bad trigger.

Start by creating a Unit Group that is not temporary. (Meaning you will not destroy it.)
Do this in a map init trigger, and do it like:
set CheckGroup = (Units in The Castle <gen> owned by Player 12 (Brown))

Now you've got your CheckGroup, add a new trigger:
E: A unit enters The Castle <gen>
C: Owner of Unit is (Player 12(Brown))
A: Add (Triggering Unit) to CheckGroup

Then finally, a check trigger:

E: Every 0.5 seconds
C:
A: If / Then / Else .. If There is more than *** units in CheckGroup do ...
else do ...


That should work better for you.
 
Maybe its because of this:
Trigger:
  • call DestroyGroup (udg_TempGroup[50])

You destroyed the group thus the trigger is "turned off"?

    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.

    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/
