Timer triggers fire after a delay.
Timer triggers are by far the most common triggers in most Ashes scenarios.
Arguments
- Time - Time in seconds after this gets triggered that it takes place.
Common Usage
- Initial setup (leave active, set timer to 0)
- Recurring attack waves (use ActivateTrigger to reactivate itself)
- Delayed effects (waiting a few seconds to do something after a Nexus is destroyed, to let the VO play and the explosion be admired)
- Delayed objectives (give the player an objective after a few minutes so they're not so overwhelmed at mission start)
Examples
<Trigger Name="tEasyDefenses" Type="Timer" Timer="0" Inactive="1" > <SpawnBuilding Name="temp" Template="PHC_DroneBay" Player="1" Position="3328,-2176" /> <SpawnBuilding Name="temp" Template="PHC_Sensor" Player="1" Position="3520,-2240" /> <SpawnBuilding Name="temp" Template="PHC_DroneBay" Player="1" Position="-2688,-2176" /> <SpawnBuilding Name="temp" Template="PHC_Sensor" Player="1" Position="-2880,-2240" /> <SpawnBuilding Name="temp" Template="PHC_DroneBay" Player="1" Position="-3200,-6700" /> <SpawnBuilding Name="temp" Template="PHC_Sensor" Player="1" Position="-2880,-6592" /> <SpawnBuilding Name="temp" Template="PHC_DroneBay" Player="1" Position="3840,-7168" /> <SpawnBuilding Name="temp" Template="PHC_Sensor" Player="1" Position="3904,-7360" /> <SpawnBuilding Name="temp" Template="PHC_DroneBay" Player="1" Position="-4708,-10340" /> <SpawnBuilding Name="temp" Template="PHC_Sensor" Player="1" Position="-4416,-10048" /> </Trigger>
This is activated from a Difficulty trigger and spawns additional defenses for the player.
<Trigger Name="tIntro_1" Type="Timer" Timer="0" Inactive="1" >
<LetterBox Enable="0" />
<Dialog>
<Entry Icon="Samuel" Text="InceptionPHC_Intro_1" />
<Entry Icon="Samuel" Text="InceptionPHC_Intro_2" />
<Entry Icon="Samuel" Text="InceptionPHC_Intro_3" />
</Dialog>
<Objective Name="oSurvive_Obj" String="InceptionPHC_Survive_Obj" />
<Objective Name="oDestroyPHC_Obj" String="InceptionPHC_DestroyPHC_Obj" />
<Objective Name="oContainNihilon_Obj" String="InceptionPHC_ContainNihilon_Obj" />
<AreaIndicator Name="iDestroyWeasley" Position="8512,-8256" Color="Red" Size="300" Duration="-1" />
<AreaIndicator Name="iDestroyGamgee" Position="-8512,-5440" Color="Red" Size="300" Duration="-1" />
<ActivateTrigger Target="tCaptureWest_Breadcrumb_Timer" />
</Trigger>
This plays some opening dialog, sets up objectives, and starts the timer for a hint trigger that will fire in a few minutes.
<Trigger Name="tActualLoss" Type="Timer" Timer="1" Inactive="1" > <EndMission Victory="0" String="Altaria_LossString" /> </Trigger>
This ends the mission with a loss after being called by a ZoneCapture trigger.
