Protecting/unprotecting a map?

[IronForge]

Anyone can tell me how to see a map's triggers? No need to edit it, just to be able to see its triggers is good enough. I am not trying to hack/steal a map, just want to see some triggers. Specifically:

how do I make a negative devotion aura?
Put it as negative values... work when the ability is put in a hero, but when it is put in with a trigger it doesn't.

I don't want the icon to show up either. How do I make icons not show up?

Button location is already 0,0 and 0.
Doesn't show (suspect it isn't actually added to the unit) when added via trigger, shows when I put it as an ability manually.



Any help appreciated.

Actually we are not allowed to talk about map protection here.
I feel with you. It is sad that people who is new to warcraft can't open a map
and learn from it. That was the way I learned how to trigger, and I hated that all the cool maps, was protected.

They only way you can open a protected map and read its trigger is by learning JASS. In nearly every map, the map protection delete the .wtg (the GUI trigger file)
is deleted and there is only the .j (the jass file) left.

About your question how to hide the icon, there is a spellbook trick.
First create a spellbook. Change the ID. Put your spell into it.
Add the spellbook to your unit, and disable the spellbook with triggers.

Can you provide me a brief explanation about this or link me to some tutorials?

You could also base the ability on a item spell, those doesnt show up either.

For nega-effects hold SHIFT while double clicking. Then you can set anything anywhere.
