[Solved] Do automatically generated strings "leak"?

[Emm-A-]

Hey guys,

I am just wondering, if these automatically generated strings - called "TRIGSTR_5644" and so on - by GUI leak? They become visible, when you make some transmission and convert it to custom script.

So, I would like to know, if they are deleted by the compiler, when you delete the text reference from the script?

I could not find them in the JNGP error text showing the whole map script somehow, I might have overlooked it ...

The TRIGSTR counter seems to be permanently increasing. So each time you convert to "Custom Script" it will also increase the counter.
But I can't find old strings anymore in the war3map.wts file when opening map with the MPQ editor, so I guess the strings probably don't leak, but only their counter indices:

STRING 1
{
Player 1
}

STRING 2
{
Force 1
}

STRING 3
{
Spieler 2
}

STRING 4
{
Spieler 3
}

STRING 5
{
Spieler 4
}

STRING 6
{
Streitmacht 1
}

STRING 8
{
Any
}

STRING 9
{
Nondescript
}

STRING 10
{
Unknown
}

STRING 11
{
Player 7
}

STRING 95
{
Hallooooo Test
}

STRING 96
{
Hallooooo Test
}

STRING 97
{
Hallooooo Test
}

^ The first strings are set automaticaly for player/forces/map description, and then after String 11 you see a big gap (because I converted the trigger multiple times on purpose) the custom strings come.
From 95-97. But there also existed string in between once, which I deleted again, and they are not listed anymore.

theres nothing like leaked string, use them the way you want

Hey guys, thanks a lot for the response and IcemanBo in particular for the detailed explanation about your findings!

The idea of the trigger string file is to allow localization. In theory one can add multiple trigger string files, one for each supported localization, to allow trigger related text to appear in a user's native language.
