copying triggers/variables

[rolovis]

importing triggers.

i got a really really good spell on one of my maps, but the map itself is a little too small...is there any way i can copy all of the triggers and variables without doing them one by one, constantly switching between maps?

Trigger Editor: click on the menu : export triggers.
You can also export units and items and all kind of stuff, I think abilities too.

BUT

You can just simply make you map bigger in:
Scenario / Map Size and Camera Bounds (if my memory serves me well)
Check in the Modify Map Bounds checkbox and you can set the map size to any multiply of 32.

THANKS! i didnt know i could just resize the map. o and is there any way to export the variables too? or do i have to remake them.

I believe when you do the Trigger Exporting thing then the variables will be exported as well, but I don't feel like trying it now, see for yourself. If not then you can just simply copy and paste the variables from the variable editor.
Why do you want to remake your map when you can just resize it?

ok, so i go to export triggers, and it makes 2 files..i import those, and nothing happens...what am i doing wrong?

No idea what are you doing wrong. It works for me.

Border note: The existing triggers will be overwritten if you import another trigger...

kk when copy and pasting is there any way to have both maps open so i dont have to constantly open and close each map?

unforutanetly no. but however, if you do it repeatedly (like once or twice) it'll open without going through the load process. i dont know if this works with normal WE, but it works for New Gen WE.
