I've got a more personal question.

Can there be TWO options for copying triggers? One for the way triggers copy now, which is right below the trigger that was copied, and one that copies the trigger and sends it to the bottom of the list.

I really hate having to click Move Down a couple times each time I copy a trigger sometimes when I'm trying to keep my stuff sorted. xD

Sprites are basically hit n miss for now, and they need to be more user-friendly. And as for the mirroring, is it supposed to work for terrain, units, or what? My version either won't or can't do it. Either because of crappy source [SCFT site, so that's ruled out], or my computer's gay. Which it is. WinME should have never been released.

Sadly, I digress. Sprites that crash SC need to be listed as such, and have better placement and selection options. Currently, copy n paste is funky, and multiple selection of sprites still need you to select which one you want to edit individually.

EDIT: while I'm at it, a way to select and edit similar conditions of different triggers. For example:
player 1 has 1 marine and 20 minerals, create x units
player 2 has 2 marines and 20 minerals, create x units
I want a way to be able to select player 1's trigger, player 2's trigger, and change the conditions and actions for both triggers at once. This could include editing, inserting, or deleting common criteria, such as the minerals and units to be created, while leaving the different conditions alone.

Wow, now that I think about this, it's probably gonna be impossible without massive gargantuan coding. eww.

SI, couldn't you make something that takes a unit and tests it against SC's graphic drawing abilities to see whether or not it crashes? I know this wouldn't always work properly, with things like portrait crashes and such, but it would definitely help a lot. Not really a huge need, but if you have extra time, it'd be an awesome feature.

I dont think I know enough about the interdependencies of the different internal iscript stuff to pull that off easily and reliable. Possible some of the obvious crashes but thats not worth the effort of having to deal with people then wondering why it isn't perfect

Mirroring works.

Yet not for me. But that doesn't really matter now, because I still have yet to get a new computer. I'm stuck on the school's computers [which are, sadly, better than mine].
While I'm here, I'd admit that my last proposal would be close to impossible to do.
And I'll throw in the fact that SEN looks crappy in IE...

It would be nice if when I closed and opened classic trigger editor it opened to the place I closed on- useful for resuming work where I left off, or for closing, saving and reopening.

Similarly, it'd be extremely nice if you could place 'bookmarks' in the trigger listing and easily access the different areas. Better than this though, would be the ability to create expandable sections in your triggers, so we can section off places and work where we need to easily.

Not sure if it's been mentioned. For some reason I can't place minerals close to a Nexus (with the "disregard mineral distance) checked. However I can place a Nexus next to minerals.

Maybe you have an old version of scmdraft?

It's only a minor request, but it happens to me all the time. I think about how I set up a trigger, then I click the player I want to create it for and click on "new" only to realize that now I have to select the player again.
So it would be nice if when you create a new trigger automatically the player(s) is/are ticked which you selected from the list.

Bump.
I can finally say something definite about the crash bug.
It only crashes the map after I changed some triggers. If I just load the map without doing anything it's stable.
Testing with a clean map right now...

EDIT:
As I suspected it doesn't happen with a clean map in which I renamed a Marine to "<07>Terran <04>Marine" and changed a trigger to include this marine.
So there must be something special about my map, but I can't figure what it is.

EDIT:
Important feature request:
Make it so that ScmD accepts extended Players in actions.
Sometimes we do want to remove/move/whatever units of P13-255 and it's a pain in the ass to have to use Starforge just for that. Thank you.

Make Map Revealers invisible in the Fog of War layer

1. I'd like to be able to place Fog of War simultaneously for several players.
2. In text trigger editor hotkey to compile action.
3. Fast exit from text trigger editor via Esc. (Probably some other windows too?)

Ctrl-Click with fog of war will do it for all players, but I don't think there's a way to only do it for a certain group..

It would be useful if when selected on a trigger holding a button like ctrl would ignore the comment action for that trigger so you can quickly peak at it expanded without entering it.

The description to the condition Memory(P, QMod, N)

Memory at Death Table + P is QMod N

is confusing (http://www.staredit.net/147985/).

I'm not perfectly sure, but IMO the formula should be:

DeathTable + (P+1)*4

(DeathTable + (P+1)*4) mod 0xFFFFFFFF

EDIT:
Also, please, consider this problem from the thread linked above:
This is most likely SCMD problem (probably you mark Memory conditions in some way, which interfers), because the SF condition Deaths(12728, Exactly, 256, Terran Marine); works fine in that particular map.

EDIT2:
I think I found the source of the problem. It crashes when the Memory condition is compiled from SCMD text triggers. And then even if you delete/create new Memory condition in ClassicTrigedit from the trigger which included Memory condition and was compiled from SCMD text triggers, SC still crashes.

EDIT3:
How to reproduce bug:
For example, take this map: http://www.mediafire.com/?2muofowgmt5
Run it and press insert, you'll see a text message.
After that open SCMD text triggers, press compile and exit.
Run the map in SC to see it crashes.

You should infuse trigger duplicator into scmdraft2. Making multiple triggers with variables.
