If I understand it correctly, this trigger adds a birth animation to a building that has no birth animation.

But the conditions at the top of the trigger, there are 3 buildings called "Building (20 sec)" and so on.

I don't understand that part.

What shall I add in these fields?

 

[Pyritie]

those are just names I made up. If your building takes 20 seconds to build, for example, use the trigger to wait 20 seconds. That's all.

This trigger will never work on 1.24 because of the custom scripts part
it uses locals as globals. Use Hashtables instead

Is there anything I can do different with this trigger to get it to work in 1.24?

What is Hashtables?

 

[M4stah]

Sorry, but this trigger will not work in 1.24, the locals(The custom script) cannot be used like this with the new patch.

What can I do instead of use this trigger, to add a birth animation to a building?

Why do you need an already created variable to be local?!?

Why do you need an already created variable to be local?!?

It used to be an easy way to make triggers MUI

 

[ikillforeyou]

Toobad you cant shadow variables anymore, it doesn't make sense, why would they make it so you cant..?

 

[Kabel]

We have reached a dead end, boys.

How would you do to add a birth animation to a model without such animation?

Use Hashtables instead

Where can I find such a wonderful table of hasch?

 

[M4stah]

In patch 1.24.
There is a tutorial on it
