Well, in part of adding function there is written what to add to the TriggerData.txt and TriggerStrings.txt, but there is nothing about what to add to the WorldEditStrings.txt and it was giving me error WESTRING_... cannot be initialized or something like that.

Error...

For some reason, when I open a map on World Editor, it says:


Trigger Database Error

[TriggerActions] - RemoveLocation

Data section and text section have differing number of parameters (1,0)

:banghead:

I copied the text off your post (XD) and triple-checked them afterwards.

:banghead::banghead:

T.T

Nice tutorial though.:thup:

Are you sure you put them into the correct files? It's saying the one in TriggerData has 1 parameter and TriggerStrings has 0 parameters. TriggerData has a field (the first one) that is the return value. So, that could mean something.

What's a parameter and a return value?

Parameter is like:

Unit - Kill <UNIT>

<UNIT> is a parameter. It's the unit you want to kill.

Return values are like:

Math - Add 5 and 2.

7 would be the return value.

Not even sure if that's the real correct format of that function lol.

sry for bringing up this post again... but is it possible to make your own icon for the trigger category you are making?

I want to make a category called: Leaks

Yes, you can. You would have to probably put the image into the .mpq to use it though. (I think. I've not tried it).

hmm thats a little problem for me because I'm working on a map with a friend and putting it into our map probably pisses him off because he can not open it anymore then :S

same as modifying the trigger editor... when I open it without the UI folder I used before, the map can not be opened annymore :) Is there also a way to fix that? or is there none?

EDIT: b.t.w. I'm not that good in jass but... How do I make it so that I can set any variable to null?

for example:

set udg_My_variable = null

I want it like this in gui:
Trigger:
  • Set My_variable = null


EDIT:

ow another thing is.. I get these errors when I open up my editor...

error_1.jpg


error_2.jpg


and these are the things I edited:

TriggerData.txt:

Code:
TC_LEAKS=WESTRING_TRIGCAT_LEAKS,ReplaceableTextures\WorldEditUI\Actions-AI

//Leak actions
RemoveLocation=0,location
_RemoveLocation_Defaults=_
_RemoveLocation_Category=TC_LEAKS

DestroyGroup=0,group
_DestroyGroup_Defaults=_
_DestroyGroup_Category=TC_LEAKS

DestroyForce=0,force
_DestroyForce_Defaults=_
_DestroyForce_Category=TC_LEAKS

TriggerStrings.txt:

Code:
//Leak actions
RemoveLocation="Remove Location"
RemoveLocation="Remove "~Location
RemoveLocationHint=

DestroyGroup="Destroy Unit Group"
DestroyGroup="Destroy "~Unit Group
DestroyGroupHint=

DestroyForce="Destroy Player Group"
DestroyGroup="Destroy "~Player Group
DestroyGroupHint=

WorldEditStrings:

Code:
WESTRING_TRIGCAT_LEAKS="Leaks"

Does any one know what I should do now 0.o??

lol nvm I'm quite blind 0.o....

DestroyGroup="Destroy Unit Group"
DestroyGroup="Destroy "~Unit Group
DestroyGroupHint=

DestroyForce="Destroy Player Group"
DestroyGroup="Destroy "~Player Group
DestroyGroupHint=

how could I be this stupid by overseeing this ><

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
