Limiting wards

Ok, so there's a Shadow Hunter right? And hypothetically he has unlimited mana, and a serpent ward for example only costs 1 mana, and there is no cooldown.

So, how do I limit how many wards are on the screen at one time?

ie. the SH puts down X wards, and is unable to put any more till one or more of them is killed or disappears.

thanks

Count the number of wards on playable map area each second. If the number is equal or greater than, say, 3, you don't allow making new wards.

Thanks, but now I've got another question...

When i do the trigger:

When in-game time is equal to/greather than/greater than or equal to (I use the "/"s because I've tried all three)

and the action is:

Create Weather Effect rain at region XXX

the action doesnt work.

But I did try using a message to see if that would work, and it did. (I got a unit to display the message "rain on".)

Any help?

Um... Enable Weather Effect? :) (Put it right after "Create Weather Effect").
