hi there...
if u read my post in the UMS Production forum, u will know that i try to ressurect the Lost HGM Defense.
my mapping skills are relative good, (okay im a noob
) but i have problems with a trigger now.
everyone who played HGM know how the enemys spawn there... continous spawn of one level, after some time lvl 2 starts , and lvl 1 runs still beside lvl 2.
then, lvl 3 starts, lvl 1 ends and only lvl 2 + 3 runns.. if lvl 4 starts lvl 2 stops and so on...
now i just have a continous spawn of lvl 1 but i dont know how to make that 1 lvl stops if another begins... i never worked with switches or else...
cuz i think that this is an easy trigger, i decided to ask here ...
thx for helping
regards, PatchOne
Edit//
i tried something but im stuck...
i maded
to start switch 1 and starting a countdown for lvl 2
then i maded
thats what i maded but now, how to activate switch 2? the spawns are there, i just have to activate that switch... if i would make it by countdown, i think it wouldnt work cuz on one coundown 0 all levels would be activated
does anyone have an idea??

ok, this is simple and easy to do, you just have to have switches for each wave/level. such as lvl 1 would use switch 1, lvl 2 switch 2, lvl 3 switch 3, ect...
then when your ready to start the waves have a switch set, and then the wave's trigger add into the condition 'Switch 1' is set, and then on level 3, add a action, clear switch 1, and on lvl 4, clear switch 2, and so on. its very easy to add into your triggers.

This should do the trick
switch 1 is set
switch 1 and 2 is set
switch 2 and 3 is set
switch 3 and 4 is set
switch 4 and 5 is set
this way you'll always have 2 switches set
ADDITION:
or without the countdown timer:
you can also split these into seperate triggers.
after 80 seconds switch 1 and switch 2 will be set
after 160 seconds switch 2 and switch 3 will be set
after 240 seconds switch 3 and switch 4 will be set
after 320 seconds switch 4 and switch 5 will be set

| ¤ ElapsedTime(AtMost, 1); |

| ¤ SetCountdownTimer(SetTo, 80); |
| ¤ Comment("switch1 + countdown"); |
switch 1 is set
| Trigger |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ countdowntimer(exactly, 0); |
| ¤ switch(switch 1, set); |
| Actions: |
| ¤ setswitch(switch 2, set); |
| ¤ set countdowntimer(80); |
switch 1 and 2 is set
| Trigger |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ countdowntimer(exactly, 0); |
| ¤ switch(switch 2, set); |
| Actions: |
| ¤ setswitch(switch 1, clear); |
| ¤ setswitch(switch 3, set); |
| ¤ set countdowntimer(80); |
switch 2 and 3 is set
| Trigger |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ countdowntimer(exactly, 0); |
| ¤ switch(switch 3, set); |
| Actions: |
| ¤ setswitch(switch 2, clear); |
| ¤ setswitch(switch 4, set); |

switch 3 and 4 is set

| Actions: |
| ¤ setswitch(switch 3, clear); |
| ¤ setswitch(switch 5, set); |
| ¤ set countdowntimer(80); |

this way you'll always have 2 switches set
ADDITION:

| Conditions: |

| ¤ wait(80000); <-- 80 seconds |
| ¤ setswitch(switch 2, set); |
| ¤ wait(80000); |
| ¤ setswitch(switch 1, clear); |
| ¤ setswitch(switch 3, set); |
| ¤ wait(80000); |

hell yeah! thx a lot this helps me really 
ADDITION:
hi again. dsorry i dont want double post but i need just a small help again, and i dont want to create a new topic, because my questions are more nooblike, than other questions with higher priority...
all i want to ask is, does it give any way to count every kill and mae every kill to 1 resource?
i tried that first trigger from the "Kills to Cash" trigger tutorial, but every time more units at the same time gets killed, its just 1 resource or not even one that is added to my resources.
does it give any ideas to fix that, so i can get really for EVERY kill that 1 resource - or even a easier way to get ever 10 real kills 1 civilist for a special spawn ?

The best 'Kills to Cash' you're going to find is 'Kills to Cash Perfect'. There's no truly perfect Kills to Cash, as I've heard. This angers me so.

Did you put a Hyper trigger?? Because it will help.. I mean, the killz to cash will refresh faster and you will get more money.. So if you kill 2 guyz in same time you will still have only 1$ But if you kill two units almost in same time the hyper trigger will give you more chances to have the money..

hmm okay i never used one before, i will try it.. .but i dont check that tutorial... i should put in wait(0); as many as i can , than delete on... what does this mean? is in that trigger list a limit anyhow or what do i have to do... sorry but that hyper trigger tutorial is not clear enough for me

Not to worry. Hyper trigger make the triggers run faster. Normally triggers are run one per second. With hypertiggers it runs about 12 timeas a second. The only problem is it really screws up waits.
Ok here is how a hyper should look.
Copy this string 4 times and you have hypertriggers. Don't we value all questions as one level. We do not just say "noob" and leave it. Thanks for not double posting. Enjoy your time in sen.
ADDITION:
If you want to use the "wait' trigger anywere else in your map with hypertriggers, ask and we will help you out. What map editer are you using?

I think though in some way SCmdraft is slightly better for you, along with other epole as well. 
Have fun!
