Switches are just like something that will make you trigger work. Its like a just in case lol. Plus Check you triggers. Look for mistakes if something weird like that is happening than look them over. Or post you trigger.

You must clear the switches after

You have to set the death counter at the begining of your trigger DaarkDoom. It does not count it if the unit dies. Unless you use a trigger to set the death.

Look at the tutorial. I forgot to copy the link properly but it is there now. And you don't always need to clear the switches.

You mean the switch trigger? It should be under "Set switch". I don't really understand what you mean.

What are you talking about? It does to count if a unit dies, It just doesn't add a death if the unit dies due to a trigger. Like a bound will not drive up death counters.

Switchs are simply a usefull tool for setting a status.

If u had a trigger u only wanted to work after say 5 minutes. u can make a trigger to wait for 5 minutes then turn on switch 1

in the conditions of the trigger u wanted to work after 5 minutes you can put 'switch 1 is set'

There are other functions like toggle, clear etc. think it through. U can make complex switchs using a few combos and triggers.

Yes you are right. I was thinking about the death counters.
Wait, so if a unit dies it does count into the death? I thought it never counted and it only works if you set the death first.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by LegacyWeapon on 2005-06-15 at 16:04:13

When a unit is killed by some way other than triggers, the death is counted.

Yeah, if i dies 'Naturally' as I like to say.

the 3 triggers you wrote could be said like this. Assumeing thats what you want to do.

Conditions:
-Player 8 suffers at least one death of hydralisk
Actions:
-Create one hydralisk owned by player 8 at Location Respawn
-Set Deaths of Hydralisk for player 8 to subtract 1
-Preserve Trigger

There are no need for switches in the triggers you listed.
