If there were no errors in the file source.mtrigs you get two files with output information named source.trigger and source.property in the current directory. The next time you want to compile you simply hit Ctrl+F6 which invokes the last script. Notepad++ can even open the resulting file for you. To make it do so you add the following two lines to your script:

Worm. What if I wanted each key on my keyboard to represent a function? Why not just implement that for super ease?

i cant seem to attach the file which one am i suppose to attach btw? the mtrig file or the one after the f6 compilation part?

the f6 compilation one is the one i cant seem to attach.

You use v1.3 in the same way as v1.2. It only has the support for the new Memory condition.

W8 a minute, this is not the file I wanted you to attach. I want the source text file with your triggers which you try to compile. If I understand right it is called something like "The file for MacroTrigs".

so i need to compile this new file as well?

1. Download Java Runtime Environment (JRE) from http://java.sun.com and install. Probably the fastest way to find JRE it is to type the JRE download in Google and the first link leads to http://www.java.com/ru/download/manual.jsp.

2. Download and install mtrigsc.jar. Donwload mtrigsc v1.2. To install mtrigsc simply copy it to any folder on your hard drive. Remember the full path (starting from drive letter) to mtrigsc.jar, you need it to invoke the compiler.

3. Use mtrigsc from command line. The .jar file mtrigsc.jar is a java executeable file. It takes three parameters: the source file with your triggers written on MacroTriggers and names of two output files with SCMD triggers and properties respectively. The most straightforward way is to invoke it directly from the command line. To open command line you go Start->Run... and type cmd. To run mtrigsc on your source file source.mtrigger you type java -jar <full path to mtrigsc.jar> <full path to source.mtrigger> out.trigger out.property. Two specified files out.trigger and out.property will be created in your current directory.

4. Use mtrigsc with Notepad++. Notepad++ takes care of all tedious work with the command line. You write a script which Notepad++ invokes every time you hit the F6 button. Notepad++ can substitute strings with the full path to the current file and such, so you don't need to worry about it anymore. So, you open your source.mtrigs file in Notepad++ and hit F6. The dialog will open. You type the following line java -jar "<full path to mtrigsc.jar>" "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" "$(NAME_PART).trigger" "$(NAME_PART).property" and press ok. Notepad++ will substitue $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) with the full path to the file you edit and $(NAME_PART) with it's name without the extension. If there were no errors in the file source.mtrigs you get two files with output information named source.trigger and source.property in the current directory. The next time you want to compile you simply hit Ctrl+F6 which invokes the last script. Notepad++ can even open the resulting file for you. To make it do so you add the following two lines to your script:

NPP_CLOSE "$(NAME_PART).trigger"NPP_OPEN "$(NAME_PART).trigger"

I don't see any source.mtrigs anywhere so i compiled mtrigsc.jar.

I don't see any source.mtrigs anywhere so i compiled mtrigsc.jar.

You're doing fine. You've done the setup, now it is time to start programming. What do you usually do when you program? You're writing a program, right? The program is a text which you type in and then compile. Compiling mtrigsc.jar is wrong. You've said that you've downloaded version1.3 archive. There is a folder called "examples" in it. This folder contains text files "ex1.mtrigger" and "ex2.mtrigger". Open one of these files in Notepad++ and press F6. Tell me what you get.

am i making progress now? from here i can type my triggers and setup my macros?

Here is a trigger duplicator. Just load your map, open up your triggers, select the one you want, replace the numbers you want with "$x" without quotes, and set you starting value for X and your invterval (your case is 1) then finally compile it.
