emp_can	Now i how do you add a delay so they don't spawn constantly so they only spawn like once every 10 seconds.

Guest	Use John's other action right after the spawn action. "Order (Last Created Unit) to Attack - move to Center of your region". Also, make sure the region isn't full or is blocked by something. For example, if you have the region over water or something it won't spawn them.

elapsed

adj : (of time) having passed or slipped by; "elapsed time"

hence time elapsed 5 seconds means 5 seconds have passed
aka this trigger will run once, 5 seconds into the game
you want periodic every 5 seconds

also, pick the units and order them individually, do not use unit group - order units since this treats the units like a player picked group (ie only 12 allowed in a selection)
