Countdown Timer
I need a repeating countdown timer. It's going to be for a defense map to show the time in between each level. Sorry if this is common question. I just can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. I mainly just need to know the format of the trigger.
Try:
[TRIGGER]
[DESCRIPTION]Set a switch first[/DESCRIPTION]
[CONDITIONS]
[*]Elapsed time 0.
[/CONDITIONS]
[ACTIONS]
[*]Set Switch 1.
[/ACTIONS]
[/TRIGGER]
[TRIGGER]
[DESCRIPTION]Start 1st countdown[/DESCRIPTION]
[CONDITIONS]
[*]Switch 1 is set.
[/CONDITIONS]
[ACTIONS]
[*]Set countdown timer at x.
[/ACTIONS]
[/TRIGGER]
[TRIGGER]
[DESCRIPTION]End of countdown/start of wave[/DESCRIPTION]
[CONDITIONS]
[*]Countdown timer is at 0.
[*]Switch 1 is set.
[/CONDITIONS]
[ACTIONS]
[*]Clear Switch 1.
[*]Spawn x units at y location, give z order.
[*]Set Switch 2.
[/ACTIONS]
[/TRIGGER]
For the next countdown start, have the condition be 'Switch 2 is set,' so then you can have different units spawn each time. Continue until you have all of your waves.

None.
Use DC, this is more accurate and they will not glitch (wait blocks).
None.

Combine Nimitz' and Fatal's ideas:
Rename an unused unit like neutral - neutral - cantina to "LEVEL" and use it as a deathcounter to determine the level.
Init:
Computer Player
Conditions:
Always
Actions:
Set Death Counts for Computer player 'set to' 1 for LEVEL
Set Countdown timer to x seconds
(So ppl have time to build 1st defense)
Level 1:
Computer Player
Conditions:
Countdown Timer is at at most 0s
Current Player has suffered exactly 1 deaths of LEVEL
Actions:
» Do whatever you like «
Set Countdown timer to x seconds
Set Death Counts for Computer player 'set to' 2 for LEVEL
Level 2:
Computer Player
Conditions:
Countdown Timer is at at most 0s
Current Player has suffered exactly 2 deaths of LEVEL
Actions:
» Do whatever you like «
Set Countdown timer to x seconds
Set Death Counts for Computer player 'set to' 3 for LEVEL
... and so forth

Oh_Man -- because it adds anotherr level of player decision-making where u dont wanna walk too far away from the medic or u lose healing value[05:01 am]
Oh_Man -- initially I thought it was weird why is he still using the basic pre-EUD medic healing system, but it's actually genius[03:04 am]
Ultraviolet -- VraelVrael shouted: I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff
With the modern EUD editors, I don't think they're calculating nearly as many offsets as you might imagine. Still some fancy ass work that I'm sure took a ton of effort[2024-5-05. : 9:35 pm]

Vrael -- I won't stand for people going around saying things like im not a total madman
