A new sc timer question

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: N.W.A_Kid

O.K. the last post I placed didn't get the correct answers I needed. The way the mission is supposed to work:

Player brings 1 Jim Raynor to Neutral Center
Pause the game
Display Jim Raynor talking to current player for 8000 sec
Display text "Text message here"
Give all buildings from player 4 at "location" to current player
give all units from player 4 at "location" to current player
Set countdown timer to 300 seconds
unpause game
unpause timer

those work, now for victory:

countdown timer is at least 5 seconds
create 3 dropships for player 3 at location
play wav for current player
move all dropships for player 3 at location to location
wait 5000 milliseconds
end scenario in victory for current player

something doesn't work right because when i set it to exactly 5 seconds, the timer runs out and nothing happens at all, when i set it to at most 5 seconds right at the start of the mission i claim victory, and if i set it to at least 5 seconds i claim victory as soon as my timer is activated.

How do I set the timer properly so after the timer is activated I have to wait 5 minutes until the dropships arrive?

Do the dropships appear at all?

lol, that's over 2 hours, he must have alot to say

lol yes he does, he has a lot to complain about the dropping system in d2

you know i meant 8000 milliseconds, and yes the dropships do appear. It's just they either appear and no victory follows, or they appear right as the timer starts then I win, or I win before I even move one inch in the mission

try changing it to this:

countdown timer is exactly 5 seconds
create 3 dropships for player 3 at location
play wav for current player
move all dropships for player 3 at location to location
wait 5000 milliseconds
set flag 1


and make a new trigger that looks like this:

flag 1 is set
end scenario in victory for current player


That could work...
