i have this Time - Every 95.00 seconds of game time and i want to set "95" as a variable so I can increment it as time goes by adding var + 1 after it's executed each time. how can I set such a variable? i tried string, real, integer, and none worked :( can? or can't? |

What exactly are you trying to do? Do you want a timer that increases its expiration time each time it expires? (Lol say that 10 times fast) |

I know what your saying.. To fix it, you have to (post-initialization) use the action "Add Event". Then, you'll be able to select a real variable. |

post-initialization?? |

post- prefix 1.) After; later: postmillennial. 2.) Behind; posterior to: postaxial. Initialization- tr.v. 1.) To set (a starting value of a variable). 2.) To prepare (a Warcraft Map) for use; boot. 3.) To format (a storage medium, such as a disk). |

Add a trigger through triggers. For example, add this: Trigger - Initialize Timer Event - [Time - Time Elapsed] - Elapsed game time is 1 seconds. Condition - None Action - [Trigger - Add New Event] - Add to Timer the event [Time - Every 'Timer' seconds of game time] Action - [Trigger - Turn On] - Turn on Timer Trigger - Timer (initially off) Event - None Condition - None Action - [Set Variable] - Set 'Timer' to 'Timer' + 5 Action - Whatever else is supposed to happen.. By the way, for this to work, you must (of course) preset the 'timer' variable using the Variables function. Default to whatever you want, type must be 'Real'. |

Here, its an easier way. I also haven't found a way to use a variable for a periodic event... X_x |

I didnt look at eternals but just use the unit DEATH timers. I dont have WE open but there is an action that allows you to set a death timer for a unit you created. You could do this and then have your trigger be: Event: Unit dies Cond: Unit Type = SPECIALTIMERUNIT then if you want to increment the next time to trigger this event you just increment the length of the death to unit. If this isnt clear let me know I will get out the WE :> Good Luck |
