Hello i have some questions about map making.
confused.gif First off,i'm new with ScmDraft because i have just used the normal StarEdit before. So my question is: Where is the trigger menu?!(In ScmDraft)
confused.gif Next question: In my map i want you to get 1 mineral every 13 seconds and one gas every 7 seconds. Now i get this problem: I get 1 gas and 1 mineral EVERY second after 7 or 13 game seconds. I want to do so that you get 1 mineral every 13 second and 1 gas every 7 second and not every second.
The triggers are this(I take gas as example)
CONDITIONS:
-Elapsed time is at least 7 seconds
ACTION:
-Modify resources for Player 3: Add 1 gas
-Preserve trigger

What am i doing wrong?

No, you need to use a timer such as a wait or death count timer. The elasped time is just how long the game has been playing for.

First of, Trigger editor is located Plugins>Classic triggedit.

Elapsed time is at least 7 seconds, means that the time is 7 sec past game start. What you need is:

Trigger
Description:
1 gas per 7 sec
Players:
¤ player
Conditions:
¤ always
Actions:
¤ give 1 gas to player
¤ wait 7'000 miliseconds
¤ preserve trigger

If you don't use any other wait easiest would be:

Trigger
Conditions:
¤ Always
Actions:
¤ Wait 7000
¤ Modify resources for Player 3: Add 1 gas
¤ Preserve trigger


Trigger
Conditions:
¤ Always
Actions:
¤ Wait 13000
¤ Modify resources for Player 3: Add 1 Minerals
¤ Preserve trigger


I you use other waits then you can use Hyper Triggers with death counts, like this:

Trigger
Conditions:
¤ Always
Actions:
¤ Modify death counts for Player 3: Add 1 for Rhynadon
¤ Preserve trigger


Trigger
Conditions:
¤ Player 3 has suffered at least 83 deaths of Rhynadon
Actions:
¤ Set deaths of Rhynadon to 0
¤ Modify resources for Player 3: Add 1 gas
¤ Preserve trigger


Trigger
Conditions:
¤ Always
Actions:
¤ Modify death counts for Player 3: Add 1 for Kakaru
¤ Preserve trigger


Trigger
Conditions:
¤ Player 3 has suffered at least 153 deaths of Kakaru
Actions:
¤ Set deaths of Kakaru to 0
¤ Modify resources for Player 3: Add 1 Minerals
¤ Preserve trigger



If rhynadons and kakarus can be killed in your map, then use a unit that cannot be killed....

ADDITION: Ouch, i didn't see yours DEAD, well he has options now tongue.gif

Depending on where you downloaded your scmdraft, you may need to dl the classic trigedit plugin for it. I think it's in the download DB under staredit files. Classic trigedit is similar to the trigger editer in regular staredit.
