Can't say anything about your first question, I haven't tried timers yet..

But for your second one, here's what I would do to solve your problem: (bear in mind, other people are sure to have more effective methods than this crude one.. you can use arrays, I'm sure)

Create a trigger that runs on unit - enters region, and have it set a variable depending on what hero enters.. that is, one for each hero. You'd probably need one for each hero unless you make it more efficient (again, with arrays..) Have it increase the variable by 1.

Also, you'll need a counterpart for these.. the unit - leaves region triggers, that do the same except they decrease the variable by one. So when a hero leaves it, it won't think he's still there.

Then, create a final trigger.. Unit - enters region, have it wait 0.1 seconds, and then check to see if the variable == amount of heroes necessary.. if so, do whatever you wanted it to do.

I hope that helps (and that you could understand what I wrote..)
