there is problem with the mineral gain now only one person recives minerals and thats the player who is in front of the person who is second can someone help me with this?

Make your triggers run for players like this:

Force 1

Current Player does blah

Add mins for Current Player.

it works fine on that just it might be the timer going to fast anyway to slow down the timer?

Please, these run on sentences are killing me.

There is no way to slow down the timer short of slowing down the game. The timer will always run at 1 second ever 16 frames (note you can't play starcraft at 16 frames per second, only 15 and 18). Post triggers or describe your problem more in depth. If you have a switch or something which says that the player has gotten money, that could be a likely problem.

You can, however, use a behind-the-scene deathcount timer to control the real one within the increments of ~1/12 of a second.

at 1 second it gives everyone there minerals but it only gives it to the first for some reason and the timer resets at 1.

You want the Preserve Trigger action at the bottom, for the third trigger, and put the first trigger down to the bottom.

preserve trigger doesn't care where it goes. I generally put mine first.

It gives it to everyone, but only the first everyone? only one person can own a city (that's the limit of switches, death counters can avoid this). You're still too ambiguous for me to answer.

Are you using hyper triggers?

Yes i am using hyper trigger's, only the first player gets money.

I think I might know what's happening, but it's just a theory:

You're using the Countdown Timer here, and the conditions for much of your triggers are the same:
Countdowntimer(at least, 1)
Countdowntimer(at most, 1)

This is the same as
Countdowntimer(exactly, 1)

Since the only value that satisfies both conditions is 1.

Now, if we think about the way triggers run, SC checks from top to bottom first for P1, then for P2, then P3, ect, up to P8.

What happens, is first, for P1, the "Timer Reset" conditions are fulfilled so it resets the timer. This SHOULD mean that NO ONE gets money, so here is my speculation:

Since its the countdown timer and not a death count timer, it takes longer than 1/12 second (since you're using hypers) to reset the countdown timer to 240 seconds.
If it happened instantly, NO ONE would get money, since after the "reset" trigger runs, "Countdowntimer(exactly, 1)" is no longer satisfied.
If it isn't happening instantly, it still happens quickly, which would explain why only one player is getting the money.

Basically, this is happening:

Trigger 1, Player 1:
Timer is exactly 1.
Reset Timer to 240

Trigger 2, Player 1:
Timer is exactly 1. <-- still true due to delay
Set switches, give money, ect

Trigger 1, Player 2:
Timer is exactly 1. <-- no longer true because P1 reset the timer
Reset Timer to 240 <-- never happens, cause conditions werent true

Trigger 2, Player 2:
Timer is exactly 1. <-- not true
Set switches, give money, ect <--- never happens

ect.

um during a trigger cycle there's no game time passing. Values either change immediately or the next trigger loop. But not somewhere within.

EDIT: After looking at the triggers I think I found the problem:
All players should run triggers during a global event (countdown timer = 1). But the first player to have his condition true already reset the countdown timer, so all following players didn't have the condition true. Setting a death counter (dc) for the players and letting them reset their own dc individually should fix this.

- Set up a dc and in the first trigger which resets the timer set this dc to 1 for all human players and 1 computer.

- Then in all other triggers below remove the countdown timer condition and replace it with the dc:
In both town switches triggers check for at least 1 dc for computer and
in the 2nd town switches trigger set the dc to 0 for computer.
In all give money triggers check for at least 1 dc for current player and do not reset the dc just yet.

- Add 1 trigger in the end for all humans that sets the dc to 0 for current player if current player has at least 1 dc.

Should you have no computer player in your map, you can replace the dc for the comp with a switch.

ok i did what you said and now it only makes the second player get the money insted of the first is there somthing that im doing wrong?

Yes, because Nude's system should work.
Search for your used death count and verify the order of the changes.

You need to know that P1 runs all of his triggers first, then P2, then P3, ..., then P8.
Triggers have an order. They are checked from top to bottom for each player.

If you can't solve your problem, you can still post your latest triggers and someone here will solve the problem by looking at it.

(I guess that your triggers set the DC at the bottom of the trigger list. then p1 never checks his money triggers and P2 checks them. After P2 checked them, P2 disables the DC for all because that trigger is above the activation trigger.)

I added it and it turned out that this caused the other bug and when i disabled it, the triggers started to function fine without it. Shouldit really matter to have the triggers cleared when the turn is over. thanks for the help tho

It does matter in one case: A city hasn't been conquered yet, so the switch remains set. Before the timer ends a player takes that city and immediately gets money. And gets money again, once the timer reaches 1.

You could make that a feature if you wish, but I'd rather find the bug in your triggers.
A few hints that may help you find it:
- Trigger order is very important here. Mark each player individually, all forces and all players, then check if the triggers are ordered as you've shown above and that the new reset dc trigger is at the end.
- Make sure you added the changes exactly in the trigger I told you to
- Check if you have the players that set / check for the dc

If that doesn't help, then just repost the modified triggers.
