All trigger comments tell you what that part of the trigger does. The comments will always refer to the actions under it UNLESS you are changing a condition. When changing a condition, the comment will be below it.

This does not include an ending trigger. Be creative and make your own!


If you want to use a certain terrain type and don't know the jass value of it, create any condition/action with that terrain and convert it to a custom script. Then you can easily see the code.

I chose a maze runner with no death animation to make it look better actualy. I dislike playing a maze where you see dying units play their animation as it can confuse players.

I recommend that if using regions to color them based on what they are. This is great for organization purposes.
Credit Parrothead for all of the systems except the Jass slide and turn systems.
Credit RoNiN77 for the jass slide and turn systems (if used).
Fixed an error with Die On Specific Terrain
Fixed revive to work with all players.
Only the Maze Runner can grab checkpoints now.
Added some more information to Map Info.
Corrected some spelling errors.
Added a variable selection trigger for more customization.
Added more names to the Mazer.
Changed checkpoints. You can only get the checkpoint message once UNLESS you hit another checkpoint and go back.
Added burning terrain for damage over time.
Added a leaver removal system.
Very important to your map, this includes a few of the variables that you can configure for your map.
