[JASS] Trigstr_x

[maskedpoptart]

hello again. i converted my whole map to JASS, and i noticed that most of the strings that i entered into trigger actions were changed to "TRIGSTR_<somenumber>." example:

call DialogSetMessageBJ( udg_teamDialog, "TRIGSTR_306"

where in the map code are all these TRIGSTRs defined? how do i check what their values are and/or change them?
thanks in advance.

Just erase the "TRIGSTR"s and type whatever you want in the colons directly.

my question was actually how to find what values those variables were assigned, but i just went into the old gui version and copied the text from there. a bit of a pain, but it'll be worth it. i'm still curious where world editor assigns values to TRIGSTRs...

WE stores all custom strings in file war3map.wts (that can be found in map archive). The structure of this file is quite simple. For example:

STRING 123
{
Just another Warcraft III string
}

is connected with TRIGSTR_123.

i couldn't find the file you were referring to, but it's okay. i'm just copying the strings from the GUI version of my map.

The file is in your map archive. Just open map (e.g. maskedpoptart.w3x) with any MPQ editor, extract war3map.wts and edit it.

oooh, ok. sorry i didn't understand what you meant by map archive... lol
