Most defence game use switch to stop the previous units from coming out (i think)
Basically i want the previous trigger to stop working after its been completed like im most defense games or bounds. I know the switches do that but they still confuse for some reason lol. Can someone give me an example to switch off and back on and a brief explanation of wat these do.?

A switch is a simple on/off value. Basically, you can setup defense triggers like this (this is as an example for levels4-5):

Trigger

Description:

Level 4

Players:

¤ A single computer player

Conditions:

¤ Switch 3 is set

¤ Other conditions

Actions:

¤ Create N Unit X at 'Y'

¤ {Repeat as needed}

¤ Set Switch 4

Trigger

Description:

Level 4

Players:

¤ A single computer player

Conditions:

¤ Switch 4 is set

¤ Other conditions

Actions:

¤ Create N Unit Z at 'Y'

¤ {Repeat as needed}

¤ Set Switch 5

Notice how after Level 4 ran, Switch 4 was set. A switch can be either Set or Clear, and they have no direct effects in-game (only as trigger actions or conditions). You can set conditons for a given switch's state, or you can set actions to clear, toggle, set, or even randomize switches.

If you are having trouble working with switches, then use death counters. Death Counters work like 20 times better and easier for games (like defences) with levels in my opinion.

You should know what they are, but if you don't click on this:
