Good point. Thanks :)

I see, guess Im gonna have to make a dialog and make it run like a timer. I know the last 2 triggers can be combined into one, but I like them seperate, allows me to be a bit more organized. Thanks everyone :)

Hello everyone, this might a really stupid problem, however, I have a timer for every player in my map, so I have 4 players, means I have 4 timers. Now each player is supposed to see their own timer, however, for some reason, when I test I see all 4 timers. These are my triggers. This is the timer that is specifically made for player 2. I have 2 other triggers that show the timers too (posted below)

Wave Timer Bottom Left
    Events
        Timer - Elapsed time is 0.0 Game Time seconds
    Local Variables
    Conditions
    Actions
        Timer - Start Wave Timer Bottom Left as a One Shot timer that will expire in 180.0 Game Time seconds
        Variable - Set Wave Timer Bottom Left = (Last started timer)
        Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer), with the title "Next Wave in:", using Remaining time (initially Visible)
        Variable - Set Wave Timer Window Bottom Left = (Last created timer window)
        Timer - Show (Last created timer window) for (Player group(2))

Units = 0 Bottom Left
    Events
        Unit - Any Unit dies
    Local Variables
    Conditions
        (Owner of (Triggering unit)) == 4
    Actions
        General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
            If
                (Number of Living units in (Any units in Bottom Left Base owned by player 4 matching Excluded: Missile, Dead, Hidden, with at most Any Amount)) <= 0
            Then
                Timer - Start Wave Timer Bottom Left as a One Shot timer that will expire in 30.0 Game Time seconds
                Timer - Show Wave Timer Window Bottom Left for (Player group(2))
                Timer - Start Secret Timer Bottom Left as a One Shot timer that will expire in 0.1 Real Time seconds
            Else

Units > 0 Bottom Left 2
    Events
        Unit - Any Unit dies
    Local Variables
    Conditions
        (Owner of (Triggering unit)) == 4
    Actions
        General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
            If
                (Number of Living units in (Any units in Top left Base owned by player 4 matching Excluded: Missile, Dead, Hidden, with at most Any Amount)) > 0
            Then
                Timer - Hide Wave Timer Window Bottom Left for (Player group(2))
            Else

If you are wondering, every time the Wave Timer Window expires it spawn units (yes, I am making a TD) these are the only 3 triggers that show the timer windows. and yet it shows me all 4 timers. Thanks in Advance

@Charysmatic: Go

Thanks!

When you click "test document" you will play as player 1. Is there any way to test for any other player? This is because I have specific triggers for each player, and the only way I can see if they work is if I am that player, the triggers worked for player 1, but I cannot guarantee them working for the other players. So is there any thing that allows me to be any other player? Thanks

@TerranMaster23: Go

Can someone please help me solve this problem.

@FunkyUserName: Go

Thanks for your reply... but where do I find the alias name for the unit? Thanks

Hello everyone,

I seem to have a small problem :( I duplicated a photo cannon and its actor. I changed the actor and many other things and called the new tower "storm tower". Now my problem is that whenever I double click a photon cannon the photon cannon gets unselected and rather all the storm towers gets selected. Anyone know a solution? Thanks

@Topdog160: Go

Hey Topdog160, just wondering what software did you use to develop your game? Thanks :D

@StealthToast: Go

hmm... I see, that is a pretty good idea. Thanks!

@Crazio: Go

I might have not understood... but are you saying that the Zerg should be weak and give a lot of income, terran in-between, and protoss effective but give no income?

If it is that way I think it is a pretty cool idea :D

Thanks Crazio

@Mozared: Go

I was thinking about that... Zerg buildings lowers your income but also decreases # of minerals for each kill the killing player gets. I might go for that actually.

Thanks Mozared

This is a guide to morph one building/unit to another building or unit. This guide will show how to morph a pylon to an Obelisk Note: Only the Data Editor is used to do this

I hope I didn't miss anything

Hey everyone, I am working on a Tower Defense map and I would like some suggestions or any creative ideas!

• Basically, you build structures that spawn units at the other team's base, while at the same time you build towers to defend. There will be a various number of towers to build from.

• This here is the basic concept of this TD:

(link if it doesn't show up: http://postimg.org/image/qvaigonz3/)

• In the beginning of the game you will have three minutes to start defending and building structures that will (after the 3 minutes) start spawning units. Units will spawn at every minute (after the initial three minutes are over). There will be various amount of upgrades for the towers and the units.

Income:

• The default income is 10 minerals for every 10 seconds. Building terran structures (that spawn terran units) adds a good amount of income to the initial income. However, killing terran units for the killing player also gives them a good amount of minerals for each kill.

• Building protoss structures (that spawn protoss units) give no income, and the killing of protoss units give no minerals for the killing player.

• Building Zerg structures (that spawn zerg units) give some income (less than terran), and the killing of zerg units give some minerals (less than terran) for the killing player.

If anyone has any creative ideas please let me know below. Thanks in advance!
