I think I should start completely off of scratch (with some notes of my old system) but I can't quite decide... any opinions?

I think it depends on how big you thing your piece of crap is. You can also simply make a new trigger, and keep the old one to copy info from that you already made and want to hold on to.

I'm quoting you on that...

I was going to do that anyways... I just don't want to go back and try to remember what I was doing.

I think I know what I will do with this. Hopefully it will work when I do it again...

Ty for the quote! Im off to update my map in my dark corner... >_>
