I'm real new using the editor and I am having trouble using the triggers.

Wow alot of views.

A Event is a thingy that happens to cause the trigger to run.
E. A Unit Dies.

A Condition is a thingy that specifies a Event.
E. Dying Unit is a Footman

A Action is a thingy that happens when the Specified Event Happens.
E. Display to Owner of Dying Unit "haha, your footman died".

Nice action :cool:
 
This is funny, I don't know the trigger editor very well either, and as a result I signed up so I could easily get help. I do, and now I am making better maps.

Generally, triggers should be small when you first start. No point in a newbie making a TD that ends up looking and playing like a pile of puke. Make simple melee maps and small trigger maps with only one quest.
 
ok?

all that was nice to right and seeing as i dont got a clue about what the hell to do iv spent a day and still dont get it and no offense but what you posted didnt really help me see i cant do something without knowing what im doing and big fancy words dont help can some one tell me a website thts wil help me?
 
Ummm... we just gave a list of tutorials on using the trigger editor. Really, man, if you didn't get that, then you definetely won't be able to use the trigger editor.

If you tell us what you want to happen, then we can tell you how to accomplish that.
 
ok?

ok my text messeges dont work or my cinematics and yes iv tryd some toutorials and yes i know i cant spell but i got a question what is the string 1 and string 2 thing for and do you put the messeg for cinematics under valeu im a little cunfussed???
 
the best way, download spells off wc3search and try middling with it, thats how i came about to learning how 2 do triggers, and also, 1 more advice, dun keep seeking help, DO IT, Pratice makes perfect, i started gui writting since aug and now im almost perfect it and trying on jass already, do not just ask for help, or if not post your problem here and then we will teach you how 2 do it.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    I will have to get used to this.
