That is a bug in everyones scmdraft. If you delete all of the text triggers and compile, it won't save.

Okay, now I used an older version of SCMDraft. It was good until I stumbled upon a wall, a wall which blocks you from adding anymore triggers to the map.
Is there anyway to fix this?

SCMD uses the error dialog box to tell people information about where it starts to compile and where it ends. If you only have these two errors (000: Started, 999: Finished), everything is alright.

This is because triggers were not actually compiled. Moreover SCMD text trigedit refreshes the text only after reload. Specifying wrong switches name is an error, this is like specifying an erroneous unit name or location.

Ummm, how is that? Explain more, please. What happens? You should be fine with the latest version.

Once more, MacroTriggers does not check switches, locations, units and etc. names for correctness. If something is wrong SCMD trigedit tells it, you modify the source .mtrigger file and recompile.

Hm.. I believe I got everything working now.
This may be the last question,
Can MacroTriggers turn text triggers from SCMDraft to a Mtrigger? (Using Notepad++ ofc).

Other than that, I really appreciate for all the help you guys gave me .

No, MT can't.

No problem, NothingZ. Always glad to help!

Gives me this:

?

I can work around it (maybe) by specifying all 8 players, but...

Awww, yes thanks Tuxlar! I think I new this though...
Sometimes I'm too lazy to fix something that is not critical

Heh.

I'm trying to remember: Was there a major difference between All Players and Player 1-8 as owner of triggers? It's been too long...

No, there was not any difference in triggers behavior during the execution.
It is considered to be essentially the same.
That is why I am so sluggish about fixing this.

Hmm. I thought there was a difference in the order that they're executed. Like where P1-8 goes before the All Players set, or something to that effect.



Real reason I'm asking is I'm thinking of making a quick script using my Trigedit parser to translate into MacroTriggers, and I'm hoping any conversions of All Players triggers to P1,P2,P3...P8 won't present any problems.

Edit: Get on gmail.

There is no difference. I assure you.

EDIT: Already wating for ya!

All Players includes players 1 through 12, but since P9-12 can't hold triggers it is the same as selecting P1-8 individually. Triggers only run player by player from Player 1 to Player 8; any triggers owned by a group like 'Force 1' are just annexed into the applicable players' sets.

Edit: Bah why'm I being so lazy I could (re)test this in 2 minutes myself.

Oh well thx anyway. In a week or so I'll have the parser ready. I think if people could easily import their Trigedit triggers to MacroTriggers, it would help current authors switch over. Not to sound religious, but I see no reason anyone shouldn't be using this tool, really.

Now for a real tutorial!

(still processing...)

Already processed!
TUX THIS IS GREAT! Head post updated!

Yay.

I was thinking of making a part 3 later to explain expressions, arrays, comments, the //> and //< groups, and anything else I (or you?) can think of.

I think for now, though, I'll get back to work on my... secret project, instead.

Very nice, these tutorials are quite helpful.

Auto-complete doesn't seem to work for me though
Edit: Nevermind, got it.

Glad you liked it.

Okay, now I am wondering how you could get all the possible outcomes from switches..

Let's say 6 Switches are randomized. There are a total of 128 possible outcomes, right?
So I tried doing this (for the first switch to test):

ARRAY lol = { "Clear", "Set" }

FOR i = 0 TO 1 BY +1 DO
Switch("Switch1", @S(lol[i]))

I also tried this:

FOR i = 0 TO 1 BY +1 DO
Switch("Switch1", @S(i))

Unfortunately, no matter how smart I thought I was going to be, none of these worked ( lol.. )

Is there a way to give me a list of all of the possible outcomes when 6 switches are randomized?

NothingZ, so far I see only one switch in your examples...
There is a neat and handy way. But I'm too tired and haven't got time now to explain.
I can give you hints (key words) yet: modulo arithmetic (operations / and %), loop, binary countoff, logical expressions. Also keep in mind you can use @ST(@True) as analogue to @Set and @ST(@False) as analogue to @Clear. The solution includes somthing like Switch(SwitchesArray[n], @ST((n / 2^n)%2 == 1).

NOEDIT
