Importing Triggers

[CrueIIntentions]

Hello. I was wondering if there was a tutorial on just importing triggers. I tried to do so, and failed miserably Does anyone know how to do this, that would love to teach me?

In Trigger Editor , File\Export All Triggers

Or if you alrdy have triggers in your map you can put all the triggers you want into a category, copy the category, open your map and paste and Voila!

Sorry, I tried this. It said "trigger missing or invalid". I dunno. Maybe i put the file path wrong.

Well... I've tried this before. Update your warcraft. Go onto battlenet, or download it from blizz' website also, if you're missing variables, go into the 'map preferences' under the files tab, i think it was, and find the 'create unknown variables when pasting triggers' box, and check it. It should help. The name may be a bit incorrect, but, well, i did it from my memory. ^^

The problem is that the variables have to be created by him, it can't be copied and paste if I remember right.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

if you check the 'create variables when pasting triggers' box, it's not a problem.

If you export triggers then you also export all the variables.


This is what i recommend you to do if you don't have a lot of variables currently in your map:

1. Export all triggers with your current map.
2. Create a new empty map and import those triggers.
3. Export all triggers on your other map which has the "new" triggers.
4. Import those with your old map.
5. Put all the triggers in your "empty map" in one category.
6. Copy the category to your map which had the old triggers.
7. Copy/recreate the variables from your temporary map to your old map.

This is how i would do it.

This thread is about importing...

Hmm didn't know that... could of saved me some time when I'm doing maps lol.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Hehe, half of the job's done if you've understood the assignment.

 

[CrueIIntentions]

Okay, but all i wanted to do was import the triggers. I think it may have something to do with the variables, though When exporting / importing with mpq, i thought the variables come with it. Am i wrong?

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Not if you haven't checked the option in the preferences saying: 'create unknown variables when pasting triggers'. or something. if you do that, importing triggers'll work.
