I've started making a map making trivia. I know someone had one some time ago but it probably got lost, so I started making a new one. Feel free to post any other question and I'll add it to the trivia file :) The trivia file so far: [code] CHK Section: Where triggers are stored.*TRIG CHK Section: Where mission briefings are stored.*MBRF CHK Section: Verification code.*VCOD CHK Section: Stores information to create isometric terrain.*ISOM CHK Section: Where sprites are stored.*THG2 CHK Section: Where fog of war is stored.*MASK CHK Section: Where locations are stored.*MRGN CHK Section: Stores the name of each switch.*SWNM CHK Section: Where the final terrain is stored.*MTXM CHK Section: Stores a terrain copy to be internally used by StarEdit.*TILE Tool: Editor made by MM-Heimdal.*StarForge Tool: Editor made by SuicidalInsanity and DarkWizzard.*SCMDraft Tool: Protection program made by Clokr_.*PROEdit Tool: Protection program made by LegacyWeapon and MindArchon.*Uberation Tool: Protection program made by GoldenUrg.*GUEdit Tool: StarEdit mod made by GeneralMensk.*SCXE What does SEN stand for?*Staredit Network What does SF stand for?*StarForge What does EUDs stand for?*Extended Unit Deaths What does NEO stand for?*Next Ending Occurrence What does MPQ stand for?*Mike O'Brien Pack What does vHP stand for?*Virtual HP/Virtual Hit Points/Virtual HitPoints What does FOW stand for?*Fog Of War What does SCXE stand for?*StarCraft X-tra Editor Concept: Technique used to make SC check triggers more often.*Hyper Triggers Concept: Grid system that uses multiple preplaced stationary units or locations as the coordinates of the grid.*Static Grid Concept: Grid system where an X and Y value for the location of a unit are determined by rows and columns of locations.*Coordinate Grid Concept: Grid system that utilizes the formation of certain units created in perfect squares to calculate relative positions.*Mobile Grid Concept: Technique used to detect the status of several StarCraft variables in trigger conditions.*EUDs Concept: You can use it to subtract/add HP for several units.*vHP Concept: Type of terrain that can only be walked over if it is covered by creep.*Null Terrain Concept: Occours when a wait makes another wait longer.*Wait Block Concept: Type of terrain which lacks edges.

Those seem like very subjective questions, often using terms that specific people have made up. I would test more your knowledge of starcraft and mapmaking more than knowledge of our own community's terms.

How many waits are in a Hypertrigger? 63

63 or less. most often it's 62 in order to make space for a comment.

You don't have to use 63. You could do it with any number, it will just affect the number of types it will run before they all finish. There is also the other method for perpetual hyper triggers that uses two triggers, three waits, and a switch.

The StarEdit limit is 1650, StarCraft's is 1700.

Fine then do something not so subjective. Max amount of actions in a trigger. 64
