Hello everyone, I am working on a map similar to OneTwo's tutorial on Alien Invasion. I have made waves but I want the players to know when the next wave is coming, I have made it so the waves spawn every 60 seconds. Is there any way the player can be alerted when the next wave starts? Thanks in advance!
Now its not showing up :( This is how i have it set up. If its not a problem can someone please set an action up for me? That would help me out so much.

You can't have the event "map init" for things that you want to display.
Have your init trigger, run another trigger that waits 0.5 seconds, then display your message. Because right now it displays itself just when you start the map.. Which sort of means it displays itself when you're loading the map :P
If you ever want to get real fancy with it, I recommend making a minimap ping at the start of the track. Then you can draw arrows on the minimap showing the path of the creeps. Blizzard does this in their campaign. You can open the campaign level from WoL with the Diamondback unit to see how it's done.

Use the trigger action "Text Message". :)

I will give it a try

Ok, so i got the message to work, but how do i do it that it only appears at a certain time? Sorry, I am super terrible with the triggers
@IKill11: Go
Use UI - Text Message. It should remove itself after some time.
EDIT: If you want to set it to a specific time, and with/without sound try using UI - Show Cinematic Text.
