Code: 
Spawn Level 1 Creeps
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Round = (Round + 1)
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Create Round (Unit-type of (Random unit from Level1Units)) for Neutral Hostile at (Center of SpawnRegions[(Integer A)]) facing 0.00 degrees

Round is an Integer variable that I increase every level which in turn increases amout of units spawned. Level1Units is a unit-group.

Can anyone tell my why this trigger does nothing

Edit: Spawn regions is a twelve-count region array.

>Trigger - Run Spawn Level 1 Creeps <gen> (checking conditions)

Try running the trigger with 'Ignore Conditions'.

As for the event of that action's trigger, does the timer even expire?
Or should I say, does that trigger even run at all?

I'll try it, and yes, it does.

Code: 
NormalBreakTimer
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for NormalBreakTimer with title Break Time
        Set NormalBreakTimerWindow = (Last created timer window)
        Countdown Timer - Show NormalBreakTimerWindow
        Countdown Timer - Start NormalBreakTimer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 60.00 seconds

Edit:
Adding ignore condition didn't help.

Edit 2:
It must be the way I setup the unit group, because when I just use one unit, it works fine. Any idea what I did wrong with the unit group?

I actually already tried that. I had another post up.. but I've no clue where it went -- I've come to the conclusion that it's my unit-groups because when I just add a specific unit it works. Any ideas on why my unit groups wouldn't be working?

When I do this:
Code: 
Spawn Level 1 Creeps
    Events
        Time - NormalBreakTimer expires
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Round = (Round + 1)
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Create Round Bandit for Neutral Hostile at (Center of SpawnRegions[(Integer A)]) facing 0.00 degrees

It works.

Edit ----
Also I noticed that a bandit spawns in regions belonging to players who are not playing, how do I correct this?

Not to sound offensive or anything, but this is ridiculous. Why do you need a unit group? You're trying to store certain unit-types, right? Then why don't you use some unit-type variables, perhaps arrays? That way, you don't need to depend on what units are already on the map in order to create them.

Erf.. I feel ridiculous, don't worry - it is. :) I am new at this! Anyway, I use unit-type arrays for bosses, I just didn't know I could use them as a reference to create multiple, random units from it. Also, as for the double post, I assumed this one was ignored because the subject was changed. :banghead:

Sorry, I'm not the most common-sense-endowed person around. I'll try the array and see what I can come up with trigger-wise. I have a feeling it won't work. Also.. while I'm thinking about it again.

Ok. Here's what you should do. Create one Unit-Type Array variable for each level. Store your units for that level into it. Then do this to create a random unit from the variable:

Code: 
Unit - Create 1 UnitTypeVariable[(Random integer number between 1 and 5)] for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees

See the random integer? That picks a random unit from the array.

Great, thanks - Sorry for the slow response, cooking and cleaning whilest I try to figure this one out - Is there any way to incorperate my 12 player array while still checking if the player is there, so I don't need twelve triggers?

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
