PassWord To Start
Say I want to make it so you to push the button "a" to start my map. How would i do this? If it is hyper triggers please post the exact triggers. I have a beta map that I want only myself to be able to host until the final version is releaed.
Its not possible to just press "A" and start the game off the bat.
However, if you have a building, say a stargate, and build an (A)rbiter, you can use triggers to start the game using that.

None.
You can make a code using a specific sequence of Marines, Medics, Firebats, and Ghosts being built at the beginning. Although it's pretty easy to just open up the map and take the triggers out.

You can't detect raw keystrokes.
However you can make a civ and several beacons to set up a password entry system. The starting triggers of your map would only fire if one visited the beacons in the right order.
You can simply do that by adding 1 to a death count when he visited the beacons in the right order. Like this:
--- 1st digit --- (pass)
If Current Player has suffered exactly 0 deaths of 'password'
And Brings Civ to Beacon 5
> Add 1 to 'password' for Current Player
> Move Civ to 'Reset'
--- 2nd digit --- (pass)
If Current Player has suffered exactly 1 deaths of 'password'
And Brings Civ to Beacon 9
> Add 1 to 'password' for Current Player
> Move Civ to 'Reset'
--- 2nd digit --- (failed 1)
If Current Player has suffered exactly 1 deaths of 'password'
And Brings Civ to Beacon 1
> Set 'password' to 0 for Current Player
> Move Civ to 'Reset'
--- 2nd digit --- (failed 2)
If Current Player has suffered exactly 1 deaths of 'password'
And Brings Civ to Beacon 2
> Set 'password' to 0 for Current Player
> Move Civ to 'Reset'
... you get the idea.
When 'password' reached a certain value - say 4 for a 4 digit code - you start the map.
The code for this simple example would be 5-9. You can easily expand this.
Drawback is, one could check the triggers to find the sequence. Protect your map to keep at least the basic bnet noob out of your map.

Sorry, forgot that you wanted exact triggers. They are along the same line as nuderaider's.
Location 1 would be the location of the barracks
Few things to note. This takes advantage of how units killed with the kill action take a trigger cycle to be cleared from Starcraft. You have to do the code backwards because otherwise if you have two of the same unit in a row for the code it will activate both. A little bit lengthier than nuderaider's but I think it's cleaner/more professional.

There's a few triggers that set the death counter to 0 when there's no marine/bat/ghost/medic. That means if you enter the code too slow (next trigger cycle starts before the next unit has been built) you have to start over. And with hypers you would have to be REALLY fast, almost impossible.
You should add the condition "brings at least 1 [men] to location 1" to all triggers that set to 0.
Btw. Gamma you don't need hyper triggers for either method but it would speed it up a little.
Oh, yup you're right. Nice catch, completely forgot about that.

He doesn't want an actual "password" he just wants to set it up so it looks like an actual game. like "Press Start" on game screens

Ah, i thought you misunderstood. I guess I misunderstood that you misunderstood
None.
Well, it's not too difficult to make a basic start system, it wouldn't be like just pressing a button, but there are several systems, like the player could move a unit to a beacon, or basically any system here.

I got another idea, which could get closer to what you want. It requires EUDs.
With EUDs you can detect when a unit is being selected. So you could use a unit or building or probably even beacon as the start button.
I'm a little confused about what I've read about it but if I understood it correctly you need to assign a control group to that unit before you can detect the selection.
But probably a EUD system would be too elaborate as a simple protection method, as elegant as it may be. Your choice.
Now that I think about it, isn't detection of control group non-shared (=desynching in multiplayer)?
Well maybe you can detect the unit selection without control group?! -lol I'm confused... Best you ask one of the EUD gurus.

I've not read the whole topic, but just an idea. To make completely unbreakeable password system seem to be impossible but I have an advice. No matter what system will you create make it exploiting rarely known among people things about triggers execution like this: Command/Bring fine point. I think few people know about this. So if you make your system rather complex people will never understand why things are executed in this way! The people that dont know the details of bring/command conditions will never understand how this is working or at least this will give them a really good challenge! Belive me.
Some.
I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.
wonderful idea wormer 
then you can add some false triggers between and some triggers that update the bring/command information like centering a location.

Still, people could just open the map and delete all those triggers. The sad part on why none of this will really work. :\

The only way to tie this into the game triggers would be to have a switch named say "Game Start" be set when the password is correct. Then the conditions would have "Game Start is Set". To get by this, just delete all the password triggers and have a trigger set the switch, or replace it with Always.
Could still work against some Bnet noobs though. :\
