Is there any point to disabling triggers or using the never trigger?

The only difference I see is that when triggers are disabled, they don't run.

Whats the point??

The "never" trigger means that it will...never run.
Disabling conditions means that you can selectively pick which conditions you want to check for. Good for editing and fixing bugs.

the never condition makes sure that the trigger will never run.

I guess, that was Blizzard's early way to write comments inside the triggers. You create a trigger with a never condition and write your comment in a display text action.

So if I have a trigger creates 1 marine, I can make it not run by making another trigger with the "never" condition?

You add the Never condition to the trigger that creates the marine.

its also good for locking maps. if u add a trigger saying

always
never

end scenario in defeat for current player

when someone goes to unlock the map, the never condition in the trigger wont work

EDIT: Its great for map making too, for testing, u can uncheck the never condition and check it to test for different results. I add never conditions to most of my triggers that i make for the first time

Yes. If you have a "never" condition, the trigger will never run.

If you disable a condition/action in a trigger, Starcraft will act as if that particular trigger/action was never made at all.

No, it'll just delete the trigger, not the condition. And that's in compression, not unprotecting.

Never condition is useful if you want to turn 'off' a trigger temporarily without having to delete it and remake it, or disable all the actions.

Lulz, any protection would delete the entire trigger, because the way your map runs would change if they just deleted the condition.

Disabling them does just that, it disables the condition or action, if you disable all conditions in a trigger, it will always run, because no conditions return false.

Never is very useful when you have debugging triggers that you use when YOU are testing, it, but want to turn them off when testing it with other players, so you'd just put a Never condition in that trigger, and you can disable and enable it however you need to.

What would happen if you put a never trigger as your condition, the disabled it? How would the trigger run??

Never + comment is also useful for labeling a group of triggers. For example if you have a large group of triggers that are very similar then you can comment each one with a null or blank comment and then use a never + comment trigger at the top.

Here's an example of a never + comment trigger.

Yeah, that's exactly what I said near the end, you can disable them and it's like they're not even there.

The trigger would run because the never is disabled.

Wow, seriously guys, thats such a simple question, stop that spamfest with mass quotes etc.

Never condition is to disable a trigger temporarily without having to delete it.
It is often used in comment-only triggers.
Disabling a trigger can help bugfixing.
