I got a Diplomacy map im working on which uses switchs to make the citys give money..but no matter how hard i try it wont do it once. can anyone help me or tell me a diffrent way to do this.

You most likely are running the trigger for All players, so it gives the money 1 time for each player present.

It is on all players but i was only there with 2 other computers.

It includes computers. Seperate the "player" from "All Players" to checking all individual human players.

i did that and it still did 8x the amount insted of 250 it was 2000

Can you give us some more information about how you have your trigger set up?

Are you using "current player" everywhere you should be? (which is always everywhere)

Map is a Diplomacy
Trigger setup is like this

Condition:
Timer is at least 2 (tried at most with it)
Action:
Set Switch City
Preserve Trigger
-------------------------
Condition:
Switch City is set
Current Player brings at least one building to City
Player 7 Brings 0 buildings to city
Action:
Display City
Add 250
Clear Switch City
Preserve Trigger
--------------------------
thats how the two triggers are set

nvm, im currently dizzy.

i always use Current Player -.-

Move Clear Switch City to the first action on the list
^ This might not work, but give it a try

If you copy paste the trigger exactly from SCMDraft's text editor, it will be helpful. "Add 250" does not give us much information as a trigger action.

Since it is giving the money 8 times, that does suggest that is running once for each player 1-8, or that there are 8 triggers firing which add 250. Can you give us more information?

You're not resetting the timer in the action. So here's what happens.

Timer > 2, so set Switch City
Switch City set, so give minerals and clear Switch City
Timer still > 2, so set Switch City
Switch City set, so give minerals and clear Switch City
...and repeat ad infinitum.

If you only want it to give out money one time, and then stop forever, then do this (and I say "if" because, having never coded a diplomacy map, I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do):

In the action, find some way to reset the Countdown Timer. I've never really worked with Countdown Timers, so I'm not sure how that would be done. But you need to set it to a value below 2.

thanks i thought if i put it at 1 it would be to quick but it works now

Oh, I just got it, you wanted it to give minerals every 2 seconds.

Anyway, happy to help.
