Are there a way to make Regions appear with the name Region1 (1-999) by default, instead of Region (1-999) Since most Die on enter-quickwrites don't allow more than 999 regions :S

So if I make a new region, I can make it start over again, named:

Region1 1
Region1 2
Region1 3
-
-
-
-
Region1 100
-
-
Region1 900


If I have to use WEU, It's ok. As long as I find a way to do it, because my regions are used up ^_^
And I can't rename 500 regions :eekani:

Sorry, but if you REALLY need that many regions, you'll need to rename them. I'd just go ahead and rename about 10 at a time. Then if you STILL need another 10, then rename some more.

Seriously though, what do you need 1000+ regions for? If there's a trigger assigned to each, or even systems made by a group of triggers relying on those regions, your map size will be huge, and I'm guessing it'll be laggy and have memory leaks.

Tough. Making a map takes time. If you want it to work you'll take the time to rename them. If you named them when you created them you wouldn't have this problem. If only SEEMS like a chore because you have to do 100 at one time instead of when you need them.

OH! He's not saying he wants to rename existing regions, he's saying he wants a quick system to rename new ones, because he's going to be having a lot.
So if I make a new region, I can make it start over again, named:

Region1 1
Region1 2
Region1 3
He's saying he wants to do something like create ten regions and have them automatically named Region 1-1, Region 1-2, ... Region 1-10. Copy paste (like you said) looks like your best bet.

@Famouspker49: Way to misunderstand him >_>

You know, this is an escape map, I got ONE trigger sorting out for example region 0 - 100 , So if unit enters, he dies.

And so on.
The map is big, yes. But I don't think it got leaks ... (Doesn't lag either online of offline) With 9 persons connected ;)
