What if they take a backstep? [Move backwards]

They can't. Its all automatic. Basically I realized that if I didn't move the pieces for the players, there's a possibility they'd be idiots and just do nothing, thus wasting precious time. I tried my absolute hardest to limit the time on this map as much as possible, knowing that it could take 3 hours to finish.

Oh, btw devlin i can do copy and paste triggers with scmdraft if you want, im already gonna be doing them for my trouble map so why not

When you randomize 3 switches, you get 8 possibly outcomes. Because this isn't an 8-sided die in Dungeons and Dragons, I needed to make two of those outcomes randomize the three switches again until I get 1 though 6.
Look at it this way, keeping in mind that S means set and C means clear. The first column is Switch 1, the second is Switch 2, and the third is Switch 3.
CCC = A roll of 1 (add 1 to the death count)
CCS = A roll of 2 (add 2 to the death count)
CSS = A roll of 3 (add 3 to the death count)
CSC = A roll of 4 (add 4 to the death count)
SSS = A roll of 5 (add 5 to the death count)
SCC = A roll of 6 (add 6 to the death count)
SSC = Re-roll (randomize the three switches again to try to get 1 through 6)
SCS = Re-roll (randomize the three switches again to try to get 1 through 6)
Once you get an outcome from 1 through 6, the next set of switches (4, 5, and 6) are randomized as well in the same fashion.
It may seem confusing, but it is a really simple concept. Check the tutorial on randomizing switches if you're unclear on the whole "CCS," "SCS," thing.

Look up the randomizing switch tutorial here on SEN. Obviously you're not getting it.
You have one trigger than randomizes 1, 2, and 3. Then you have a trigger for each outcome.

Oh okay. Sounds good. 
Yeah the re-roll is pretty simple as well. Just use two of the eight outcomes to randomize switches 1, 2, and 3 over again.

I'm doing some very minute tests later today and then sending the map to fritfrat, who says he'll have some free time over the next 9 days. After that, hopefully I'll get back to making huge amounts of progress on this. This may be the boost I need to actually complete this.

7 days, now. And 6, really, since I won't be working on it much tonight... that's more my fault since I got it earlier today. But I can still get a lot done during that time I have remaining.

Oh and as for progress, I'm still waiting for Fritfrat(U) to send me the map with whatever changes he made before Christmas. I haven't seen him on in a while, which sucks. I really just want to get this over with by now.
