DUMMIES GUIDE TO WORLD EDITOR
--------------------------
I didnt see a tutorial for it, so i decided to make one ^^
Introduction
------------
There are many features to the world editor, some you might not have used,
or even heard of. Even the most experienced user learns something new now
and then, so this isnt just for beginners, its for everyone ^^. In this guide
i will cover the basics and some more advanced sections.
CONTENTS
------------
#1 variables
#2 Triggers
------------
1 VARIABLES
------------
This is the very basics of the editor, they hold different information, in this
case it can be numbers, text, mixture of both, even units, theres many more, but i didnt want a huge paragraph listing them all, so here's a list of the most common ones instead
Boolean - This can either be True or False
Integer - This can be Numbers only, no letters, But it must be a whole number, not 03254.23452371 etc
String - This can be text, numbers, a full sentence, you get the idea.
Real - This is the same as in integer but is more accurate as it allows decimals
Unit - This can hold any unit type, just 1 unit
unitgroup - This can hold a group of units
The ones not listed here are really obvious, like ability, it holds an ability ^^.
To access the variable editor you can press 'Ctrl + B', or look for the button
which has an X on it, NOT THE CLOSE BUTTON!
Click this -->
NOT THIS -->
Once opened you should see a table, it should be empty if your on a new map ^^
this table lists all of the variables you have created, it shows the name and
value of the variable, the value is the data that its holding, and it shows the
variable type, this will be one of wat i listed above. To create a new variable,
click the green cross with a small + on it, Type in the name which you want to call it, and select the correct variable type, leave the box named array for now, i will come to that later. Click the inital value field, and enter what you want its initial value to be, this being the value it will be at the start of the game, and will remain this until you change it during the game.
Arrays, these are variables still, but with a difference, they can hold multiple pieces of data, their name will look different, it will show up as, Variable[1] for examples, you can have hundreds of data in just 1 variable.
These are often used in the 'for each integer a from # to #', like this eg.
This will loop it 10 times, each time it will change integer a to the next number, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, then it ends at 10. so this action will display the data you stored in Variable from [1-10]. This is the end of the variable section now ^^

If you think this guide is any good ill write the rest of it ^^
If its not ah well

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Game - Display to (All players) the text: Variable[Integer A]---------------------------------------------------------------------
