How to convert maps to new patch

[Dark Hunter1357]

I have an old map which worked before the patch. Now it doesn't, how can i convert it to work on the new patch? Is there a way?

You must fix all the not working triggers.

Or there may be other reason why it`s not working but I`ve got no idea.

how to do that, when i have no idea why they are not working

Get rid of all H2I I2H X2I ect, and any other functions disabled in 1.24

where is the list of these functions... i can't find them here:

Before making pointless thoughts, maybe you should post your map's triggers here or the map itself.
Then we could assist you more.

As said above, you should post the map so we can fix it. Chances are that it uses something like local handle vars or some other attachment system that no longer works. Blizzard removed that method of typecasting, so you'll need to replace the functions, most easily done with hashtables.

Read blizzards patch information and it tells you what has changed. If you are using other peoples systems which are causing the problem consult the makers and ask if they could fix them.

Otherwise scrap all the systems which are causing problems and make your own.

Not working

 

[Pharaoh_]

This is too complicated. You need to tell us
a) What are you trying to achieve.
b) What part of the trigger doesn't work, unless nothing from this trigger works.

• (Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 10, 11)))) Greater than 0

I believe that the following is enough, because it will be greater than 0 anyway:

• (Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 10, 10)))) Greater than 0

What is more, when a destructible dies, I don't think you can refer to it, using the "max life" and especially in a trigger that doesn't have the "Destructible - A destructible within (Playable Map Area) dies" event.

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

Nothing from this trigger works and the destructibles ressurection worked this way before the patch, now they don't? This trigger was perfect before the patch.

This trigger is part of my stargate map, where there are many portals(stargates) with everyone having an unique address. And you can connect each gate to another gate, by typing -Dial # . The # represents the gate address you are trying to connect to. The gate from which you are trying to connect must have your unit near by.
This trigger is supposed to check if the other gate is already connected to another gate, or if the gate you are trying to connect from is already connected or if the connection to another gate was made.

 

[Dr Super Good]

I advise intitiating a debug process on the trigger and fining out what part of it is broken. If the event is not firing, then some other code must be preventing it from setting up the triggers so check that you are not hitting the opt limit for the initialization process.

Basically insert random chat messages into the trigger until you find which part is not working as it should.

It is well possible that the lattest patch has messed up some natives as there was some heavy game mechanic alterations.

Open you map in WE with the latest patch, then save it. Errors will occur while saving find what caused them. Fix. As of now, that is the easiest way i know.
