[General] Edit only Code

[Yixx]

Hello,

So I am helping someone with a HUGE map, with a SH*TLOAD of doodads and destructables..

Therefore, it takes a few minutes to save the map before I can test it. However, I am only helping with some code. Is there a way to make sure that either the doodads and all that stuff is not saved again and again, while I dont change them, only the code? Another possible solution would be a tool/program that lets me edit the code and compile it from there (vJass), without editing anything else?

Any suggestions would be awesome..

You could work on the triggers/script in a separate map file, and import it every X test versions.

You can use JassCraft for that purpose.
But you have to reimport the war3map.j file everytime you want to debug or for test versions.

rulerofiron99, that would not work since there are lot of pre-placed units on the map that are used in the triggers. Those triggers would break in another map.

ModoX, does JassCraft deal with the problem above? Meh, I will test it out anyway. Thanks so far

Keep one trigger in the map that sets all unit, object etc variables.

In the actual triggers which you will be editting, you just reference those variables instead of game links.

But yeah, as ModoX said, that method would be good if you are using jass.
