Or if you could "uncheck" certain triggers so that it wouldn't display them (I.E. Triggers that run every loop)

Or I could have people stop what they are doing to create a program that will only be used by a select few people who will use it once and delete it by accident.

Not really for just map making, but a nice program would be a text logger that logs text displayed in a BW game. This would be helpful if you wanted to show someone they said something they were denying they said, or you could check up on the logger while you are testing your map/debugging your map in a map editor without clicking back into BW to see just a blank screen (because the text dissappears after like 5 seconds ingame), you could use the logger to see if someone had messaged you while you left your map you were testing to quickly fix something in the editor.

Also another feature would be to log everything said in a B.net channel in a seperate log

The logger would be best if it displayed text in a BW game in real-time constantly refreshing

There's already a program out there which logs the text the players send eachother in a map then displays it while playing the replay. Not sure how it is called though.

Oblivian? It logs the text and a whole bunch of other information about the other players who joined your game, but the downfall of this is its a hack, so... You can also hit the "delete" key to bring up a text box with about 20 lines of who said what, or maybe its 12-13 because StarCraft Display Text only have 12-13 lines. I think its 12.

I'm not talking about hacks. I was talking about this: http://poinsart.com/pp/

How does this work? I downloaded it before but it never worked for me.

If I remember correctly, you could see others chats in replays and cool stuff like that?

PP doesn't work on modern patches. It was last updated for 1.13e.

Show just downgrade my SC to use it?

Yeah, you could. But there wouldn't be too much of a point.

Wouldn't that mess up the replay?
I just want to see the inputed text by the players.

Mess up the replay? What do you mean? You'd have to be running PP with 1.13e when you saved the replay, as well as when you watched it.

So let me get this straight:

You need to first be running both of the programs. (StarCraft p1.13f and PP) (1.13f is the one PP uses)
Then you need to play a game
Save the replay
Watch it with PP running

I just downgraded SC to p1.13f and then watched the replay. Everything worked fine besides the text, which was the whole point...

"Lastest version: 0.4.2 FOR SC & BW 1.13e"

I vaguely remember there being a setting to save text; did you check it in the pp launcher?

(I'm not going to download it again, because the last time I did, it corrupted my SC)

Forget about it. I don't feel like messing around with it.

Something to make hyper triggers/EUD's easier would be nice

Wow, I completely missed that post, but you know, I liked all the ideas there, although I think specifically the one above would be extremely difficult to make, although I'm not Farty

Hyper Triggers? How are creating Hyper Triggers not the most easiest type of trigger system to create?

Conditions:
-Always
Actions:
-Wait 0 ms (x62)
-Preserve Trigger
-Comment (Hyper Trigger)

Thats about as easy as it gets...

O well, i don't use em, so I wouldn't know.
NOTE: Another example of a broken smily. Your didnt work.

Hacks don't mess up EUDs. Oblivion does. It was an attempt to fix EUDs from detecting the hack.

Everyone has wanted this for a long time, and it wouldn't even be hard to create. I have no idea why SF or SCMD doesn't have it yet... I could make an individual program for it. xP

..? What does that mean?

Modding tools let you do that (and edit, which I don't think mappers'd want. )

Uh, that might be a bit much.
