So, i just made a variable as a timer. Made a trigger to start the timer, and another to expire after thirty seconds and turn off related triggers. Why isnt this working? Is there something i need to do with the variable?
It depends on what these "related triggers" do... If they spawn units constantly (just an example), the trigger is in a loop that can't be breaked just by telling it to stop the spawning trigger. You also need to do "Trigger - Stop all instances of trigger BLABLABLA".
If it still doesn't help, did you check if your timer actually works (as a whole)? You should just test a timer which will add a text message on screen when it starts, and another message when it stops. If you don't see any of these messages, one of your trigger is wrong (and you'll probably know which one).
did you set it up so it displays the Timer to all players? You should make a new action->functions->Timers->look for show timer->search for the one to show timer. This way you can see the timer. As stated above too it could be that the trigger it self is not being started. what does your trigger look like, can you paste it here for us to see?
