Okay so here is a map i made. At the begining you chose what time you want but my triggers are

Trigger

Description:

Timer Trigger

Players:

¤ Force 1

Conditions:

¤ Switch( switch 1 set); <----not the problem

¤ ElapsedTime is atleast X seconds

Actions:

¤ Create ( X units at X location)

Well, it takes time for the guy to chose the time so while he is waiting the elapsed time is counting down so the timing will be off. Is there a way to "Cancle" the time? Because at the begining of the map (Before i used elapsed time) i used countdowntime and it seemed to screw up so i used elapsed time. It took me a while to figure out why my timmer was always off (was very VERy pissed) until now. So, if there is a way please tell. Thanks

I'll attach map.

Edit: I don't think we can add attachments yet. Cause SEN just came back up?? i'll atttach when i can

You use "exatcly x" Since starcraft only checks triggers every 2 seconds, it is skipping over your trigger. Add hypertriggers or change condition to a range.

Oops, it is supposed to be atleast. I had problem with exactly before so i cahnged it to atleast, typo.

Edit: Also, i can;t use hyper triggers cause then the AI script will mess up.

Nonono, you dont understand the porblem. I know what the problem is i want to know how to fix it. My triggers are elapsed time is X seconds. While we wait for the guy to chose the time, we can't do anything but, the time is counting down. So I want to know if there is a way to "cancle" the time while we wait for the guy to choose.

I wan't to know if there is a way to stopped the elapsed time while the guy chooses a time. Or else i guess i'll have to use count down timer...and switch everything...

YOu can also have a hypertriggered resource count going down; one "klick" is exactly 84 milliseconds. Only other thing I can think of.
