Need a little help with a monster spawning trigger...

Ok I really need help bad with making this spawning trigger, so far i did the basics of setting the variables. Basically what i want to do is have 40 different types of units. Each wave spawns 3 units 30 times, once it spawns its 30 it'll move on to wave #2 which is obviously stronger and so on moving to wave #3 once wave #2 is finished spawning 30 times. Pretty much it's something like Enfos, i tried learning off of the Enfos trigger and did it how they did but mine didn't work out.

So far this is what i got, variable initialization with a unitype array of 40, setting each array to the specified unit type. Now the spawning trigger.

I didn't put an event, what i did is once the people finished choosing their hero it would run the monster spawn trigger. Since im testing it out, im only doing the first 2 waves

Well basically the action is
For each (Integer INTEGER_Monsterspawn) from 1 to 30, do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Unit - Create 1 UNITTYPE_MonsterSpawn[INTEGER_Monsterspawn] for Player 11 (Dark Green) at (Random point in West Left Spawn <gen>) facing 90.00 degrees
Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Triggering unit) using Abilities\Spells\Human\MassTeleport\MassTeleportCa ster.mdl
Unit - Create 1 UNITTYPE_MonsterSpawn[INTEGER_Monsterspawn] for Player 11 (Dark Green) at (Random point in West Left Spawn <gen>) facing 90.00 degrees
Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Triggering unit) using Abilities\Spells\Human\MassTeleport\MassTeleportCa ster.mdl
Unit - Create 1 UNITTYPE_MonsterSpawn[INTEGER_Monsterspawn] for Player 11 (Dark Green) at (Random point in West Left Spawn <gen>) facing 90.00 degrees
Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Triggering unit) using Abilities\Spells\Human\MassTeleport\MassTeleportCa ster.mdl
Wait 2.00 game-time seconds

Now the problem i get is, once i start the game, it spawns wave #1 once, and then moves onto wave #2 without spawning wave #1 30 times.

Anyone know anything that would help? thanks in advance

ThyFlame	You have not shown enough of the triggers for the cause of the problem to be shown.

PhaT	Oops sorry Well that's the whole trigger, the event is map initialization and there is no condition

Maybe this trigger will work:

Code:

Spawn Trigger
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 30, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Create 3 <UnitTypeVariable> for Player at (Center of Region <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
                Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Last created unit group) and do (Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Picked unit) using <SpecialEffect>)
                Unit Group - Order (Last created unit group) to Move To (Center of Region 2<gen>)
                Wait 2.00 seconds

Then make a second trigger that, every 60 seconds, changes the unit type variable and re-runs the above trigger.
