Im making a bound (obviusly) and im stuck on something. I want it so when u complete the first level and step on a certin trigger the level 1 bound (like explosions) stops and then the level 2 bound starts. How i do that?

Seriously, you should know; your average! Anyways...do this.
You have to use switches. When switch 1 is set start level 1. When Force "bounders" brings at least 1 anyunit to location "level 2 beginnning" CLEAR switch 1 and set switch 2. Switch 2 is set start level two...I hope that made sense
I'm in a hurry.

Thx and no im not average, my map skills thing keeps messing up, im actually beginner

and make sure the first bound stops by doing a switch
at the beginning of the explosives trigger
SetSwitch(Set, Explosives Are Exploding);
...
...
SetSwitch(Clear, Explosives Are Exploding);
so in the conditions of the other explosives
Switch( Explosives Are Exploding, Cleared);
people usually make a block so people cant rush ahead

I'm in a hurry. switchs are one of the worst ways for bounds. dont' use switchs. instead use a counter. a death counter or any score system.
death counter:
Start level:
Set Deaths for (any unit that will not die in the game, like a nuke) for player 8(any player would work) to 1
Level Trigger
Condition
Player 8 has suffered exactly 1 death of (unit)
Action:
Bound Triggers
If they beat it, simply add 1 death with
Add 1 Death for that unit owned by Player 8
and repeat with this.

so are death counts more accurate than switches?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by CheeZe on 2004-08-17 at 14:22:43
death counts make switchs useless (except for randomizing)

Yeah, death counters trump switches in every way other than randomization.

what if you want to make lots of trigs triggered by diff switches, you cant do that with death counters if the map has lots of used units that die

every different death count(1,2,3,4...etc) can count as a different switch

you could also use a unit counter.
Force Bounders brings atleast 1 Bounder to location 'Start 2'
Create 1 'Level Crystal' at location 'Level Tracker' for Computer Player
Computer player commands exactly 1 'Level Crystal'
Explode location 10, explode location 11, etc
Simple as death counters, an inferior only in space requirements.
Though I'm sure it does have some up that makes Death Counters inferior.

Yea, but not any for counting levels. If you have several people it keeps track of something for it will be able to check the total as well as each individual count.
Of course death count has some stuff consolidated into 1 trigger like set to #.

Set Death count to 2
that would be the same thing as unsetting 1 and setting 2... I thought you were advanced?
