Well im making a map kinda like Choose Your D, and i need help with the levels triggers. I have it working for the first level, but i cant get it working for level 2, either level 2 wont trigger, or it will go with level 1. Here are the triggers:
Thats eveyr single trigger thats part of my Level's system, but it doesnt work. When level 1 starts, Level 2 also starts so i got level 1 and 2 coming at the same time. Some body please help, and if possible supply a layout for any number of levels. If you guys can help me, i will be forever great ful.

I didn't find any problems in the triggers.
But try to change the Exactly to atmost or atleast. Triggers are checked reviewd every 2 seconds, I think so it might have a problem.

Delay isnt a problem, i have a hyper trigger set. Thats just the triggers for the levels, there are other ones, but im not going to post them cause there are about 45 of them. What i need is a way to have a levels that works for about 20 or 30 levels. A link or explanation will work.

the only thing that i could see possibly wrong is the commands 0 level 1, clear level one. try adding a level 1 is set to the conditions and it may work. so itd be
| Trigger |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ Commands 0 level 1 units |
| ¤ level 1 is set |
| Actions: |
| ¤ clear level 1 |

Ah ha! I found your problem. By default, a switch is "cleared". So, knowning this, the triggers should look like this:

That was the first method. The second method is use a death count. Basicly, instead of using switches, modify a player's death count of something. (In other words, add a death of a unit for a player. This would preferably use one of the units that crash Starcraft.
URMOM: your trigger would of fixed part of the problem, but there was more than one problem. My triggers listed above would fix these problems

Yep i figured out on my own the death count thingy just 10 mins ago, lol thanks eveyboyd for the help 
Moderators, you can lock this thread now, Problem Solved.
See to start the next level, i used this trigger:
Then the next trigger just basicly looks to see if 'Begin Level 1' Switch has been cleared and if the computers have suffered 20 deaths of the Level 1 units(reavers) and then it executes the timer for the next level. Once the timer reaces 0, and computer has suffered 20 deaths of reavers, and the 'Begin Level 2' Switch is set, it sends the next units. Works!!!

if your defence map is very hard or very long, or both, I recommend adding a feature that lets a player "skip" levels and go to the level they were at last. Of course, to "skip" a level, they would need a password.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by terrenblade on 2004-12-22 at 22:02:58
the best way to do defence levels is to have the level start if the computer commands no units from the level before it, and has suffered a death of atleast one of those units. If it's possable for the players to survive a level with the AI having no deaths of any unit you should rethink your Defence map, or add a death of the unit when you start the map.

^ignore all above posts^
The obvious reason for your problem is you are over-complicating things. i take one look at your trigger list and see many ways to shorten it. Do this:
...etc for all the levels...
and
much simpler and hard to break
