Well, I see the problem.

You set the trigger to be turn off. That's mean that shall the trigger had been execute, it would be turn off permanently.

Wave Start 2
Events
Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
Conditions
Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(Number of units in (Units in (Playable map area) owned by Player 12 (Brown))) Equal to 0
Then - Actions
Sound - Play EndLvl <gen>
Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title Wave 2 Begins In:
Countdown Timer - Start (Last started timer) as a One-shot timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds
Wait 15.00 game-time seconds
Sound - Play Warning <gen>
Game - Display to (All players) the text: Warning! Wave 2 is ...
Wait 15.00 game-time seconds
Countdown Timer - Destroy (Last created timer window)
Trigger - Run Wave 2 <gen> (checking conditions)
Else - Actions
Do nothing
Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

Remove it and it should work fine.

Perhaps because the trigger turns itself off after 1 second of game time. The first time it triggers (1s elapsed) it runs the if statement, returns false thus does no actions, then turns itself off.

it doesn't, it just delays your trigger..

It would have been better if you just have the event (timer expires) in Run Wave 2..

But the Wait isn't before the first action and the first action doesn't execute. I have 2 waits in another trigger and it works. It's wavestart 1.

That's exactly the same as the trigger I gave you but with a wait removed. Wave 2 isn't the only trigger that isn't working its Wave 2 AND Wave Start 2. It's not even playing the sound at the start.

So, you are gonna make 55 waves through this way ? It would cause a serious major leak and increase your size map quite a lot.

I suggest you to make a variable setting for it.

How do I go about making a variable setting for this. Green TD did it this way it's got around 45 waves and I never felt any lag. Nor did any other people when I played them.
