StarCraft II Editor Help Zone – Purposes, features, advices, and rules

[Rui]

Welcome to the Galaxy Editor Help Zone. In this pinned thread, we explain the features of this forum, its purpose, and the rules that apply to it and future sub-forums.

Purposes, features and advices

• In this forum, you may post any sort of technical problem you've run across while using Starcraft II's Editor, often referred to as the Galaxy Editor, and reply to the threads of someone who has run across such problems. These may include, but are not limited to, issues/questions with/on creating, running, fixing, and/or perfecting GUI (Graphical User Interface) Triggers, Galaxy (code) snippets, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) scripts.
  
  
• Not yet implemented (this thread will be bumped to inform you of an update)

  This forum features a prefix system consisting of the following prefixes: [Solved], [Trigger/Script], and [AI].
  
  
  

  • Do NOT create a thread with the [Solved] prefix. This prefix is used exclusively by moderators to tag a thread with potential to be used by other users when searching for an answer for their own questions.
    
    
  • Use the [Trigger/Script] prefix if you're having problems with a malfunctioning trigger or script. You should NOT use it in case you're simply asking for help on creating a trigger.
    We are already expecting this prefix to be misused, but its importance to the functioning of this forum is minimum.
    
    
  • Utilize the [AI] prefix to tag your thread in case it describes a problem with coding Artificial Intelligence (AI).
    
    
  • Threads relating none of the above are to be submitted without a prefix.
  
  
  
• Most of the answers you seek may already be written in one of the Tutorials or answered here, in this forum; it's a good bet to consult these tutorials and/or search for threads prefixed as [Solved], as you may find what you're looking for faster and spare yourself of the waiting time.

Rules

1. You must not use this forum for any other purpose than those stated above.
   1. You may not post threads relating issues on the use of addons, extensions or third party tools to enhance the usage of Starcraft II's Editor; use the StarCraft Discussion for this.
   
   
2. All posts you submit must be in agreement with the general website Rules.
   
   
3. The submission of irrelevant, noncontributory, and/or unnecessary messages – both by the part of someone who replies to a thread to the thread in question and the part of the thread submitter to the purposes of this forum, as explained above – is forbidden.
   • When replying to someone else's thread, your post must be contributive; posts attempting to troll (provoke) the user and disrupt the topic are forbidden.
   • The violation of this rule is punishable; first with negative reputation, and later with infractions – which may result in expulsion from the Hive Workshop community – should the user continue to disrespect this rule.
   
   
4. Large triggers or codes should be put between [HIDDEN] [/HIDDEN] tags.
   
   
5. Your problem must be explained with detail and accuracy and the thread name must be relevant to the topic. Do not expect others to reply to your post if it is devoid of exactness.

By posting in the Galaxy Editor Help Zone, you agree to have read, acknowledged, and understood these rules. This policy is to be enforced by moderators of the Galaxy Editor Help Zone, global moderators, and administrators, who may punish the violators as they see fit.These rules cover posts both previous and posterior to their submission.Thank you.
