Credits must be given to Tank-Commander if you use this.
Modification is allowed but only for private use - do not re-release a modified version of this spell.

=Preparing for import=
Go to:
File
Preferances
General
Check the box labelled 'Automatically create unknown variables while pasting trigger data'

This will mean you will not have to create all the variables and save you a large amount of time.

=Speeding up import of object data-
Go to:
Window
make sure the 'brush list' is unchecked.
If there is a tick symbol next to the word, then it is checked - click on it to uncheck it.

=Main importing=
In order of importing:
Object data - Spell - Sentry Rocks
Object data - Unit - Rock
Object data - Unit - Rock Summon SFX
Object data - Unit - RockCore
Trigger Data - Folder - Sentry Rocks

Go into the Variables, Add 4 Real variables:
SR_TempX
SR_TempY
SR_TempZ
SR_TempZ2

These variables are important if you want the spell to work properly when imported - if you don't you'll notice the triggers being disabled when imported and trying to save.

=Modification=
All Modifications should be done in the Configuration Trigger, each configuration is explained.
