Well, im making a UMS map when people come at intervals of time. Lets say group A was to come when the countdown timer hits zero and after they come I want group B to come when the timer hits zero the next time. Well i put in the trig Action: Countdown Timer Reachs Exactly 0 and all the groups come at once, which makes sense but i need it to happen once. Can anyone help me?

There's plenty of ways to do this, so I'm going to do it the simplest way you might understand:
(Group A)
| Trigger |
| Players: |
| ¤ Whatever Players |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ Countdown Timer Is Exactly 0 |
| ¤ Switch 1 is cleared |
| Actions: |
| ¤ Set Countdown Timer To X Seconds |
| ¤ Set Switch 1 |
| ¤ Create Group Of Units At Location |
| ¤ Issue Order Units To Move To Location |
| ¤ Preserve Trigger |
Then:
(Group B)
| Trigger |
| Players: |
| ¤ Whatever Players |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ Countdown Timer Is Exactly 0 |
| ¤ Switch 1 is Set |
| Actions: |
| ¤ Set Countdown Timer To X Seconds |
| ¤ Clear Switch 1 |
| ¤ Create Group Of Units At Location |
| ¤ Issue Order Units To Move To Location |
| ¤ Preserve Trigger |
Hope that helps.

The method Killer posted is good only for 2 waves.
I think he would like to have more waves.
For that use Killer2001's triggers but change this in the switches.
Wave 1:
Condition: Switch 1 is cleared
Action: Set Switch 1
Wave 2:
Condition: Switch 1 is set
_________Switch 2 is cleared
Action: Set Switch 2
Wave3:
Condition: Switch 2 is set
_________Switch 3 is cleared
Action: Set Switch 3
And so on and so on.
If you have more than 2 waves change his switches for mine.
