help with trigger

Thought this would be easy but seems like no matter what I put it dont work
Heres what I want

When I buy a hero from a tavern to choose a hero for my map, as long as every player also has a hero already to start a timer to start the game, thats it.......

I dont want the map to start unless every1 has a hero, well I will add like a start anyway in 30secs or so, but I want my timer for the game to start if every1 chooses early

Alexander244	Make a boolean array. When a player selects a hero, set their slot on the array to true. If a player isn't playing, or leaves during selection, you would probably also want to set their slot on the array to true. When you set a value, check the rest of the array. If the whole array from 1 -> no. players is true, start your timer.

Something like this is what I was thinking:

Trigger:

Events

Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit

Conditions

((Trained unit) is A Hero) Equal to True

Actions

Set HeroSelected[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = True

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

HeroSelected[(Integer A)] Equal to False

Then - Actions

Skip remaining actions

Else - Actions

Countdown Timer - Start (YOUR TIMER) as a One-shot timer that will expire in XX.XX seconds

Trigger:

Events

Map initialization

Conditions

Actions

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

((Player((Integer A))) slot status) Not equal to Is playing

Then - Actions

Set HeroSelected[(Integer A)] = True

Else - Actions

Trigger:

Events

Player - Player 1 (Red) leaves the game

//...

Player - Player 12 (Brown) leaves the game

Conditions

Actions

Set HeroSelected[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = True

311	Doesnt work either :(, and the only differnce my trigger has is in the first trigger I added create timer window for last created timer since I'm pretty sure I need that. Btw Is there a way to make a timer count up instead of down?

Opps, it's from a tavern, so:

Trigger:

Events

Unit - A unit Sells a unit

Conditions

((Sold unit) is A Hero) Equal to True

It can be mimicked, on a multiboard for instance. By having a 1 second repeating timer increment a variable.

311	nope, im guessing because of players not playing? not sure

Alexander244	It may be that the array is not initialized to false for first 12, or that there is a computer player in slot 1->12? Otherwise try putting text messages everywhere that show the current values of the variables when each action is finished. Edit: Oh, and with the sold unit, you must also change the (Owner of (Triggering Unit)) to (Owner of (Sold Unit))
