Hello - copy pasting a simple action inside the trigger editor and Integer A is gone?

Hello

Opened the Galaxy Editor for the first time and had a look around, due to having some free time, anyways...

Some of the flow of creating triggers seems to take some more effort and clicks than I appreciate...

1.)
I am trying to copy paste a simple action from one trigger to another, if I copy for instance:
" General - Wait 7.0 Game Time seconds"
Then select the trigger I want to paste it in, then click CTRL+V (paste), the paste-event is not fired.

I have to manually click inside the "trigger-window" itself, and if I select "Event" or "Condition"-sections instead of the "Action"-sections, the pasting will not occur. Have to actually select a position within the "action"-section of a trigger... and if I want the copied action to be at the bottom, I have to scroll down the trigger and select the very last action, then paste it.

Is there an option somewhere that I cannot find, to paste it to the bottom of whatever? Or any other workarounds, tips, tricks?

2.)
The action "for each integer" always requires me to select an already created variable, is there no other built-in loop, like "for each integer A" from Warcraft 3? Also, quite sad that I cannot create a new variable where I can select a variable, I have to go out of the dialog, then create it (Control B), then move into the variables again, unless there's something I am not seeing?

1)
I do not have the editor open at this moment, so I can not say for sure, but for me it usually work to copy an action, and paste it in another trigger, just make sure you select the location you want to paste it in (click the actions).

2)
There is no built in way to do this. But what I usually do, is to create a local variable named X and use that. It's not that big of a deal.

You have to create all your variables before you are to use them, this is not that big of a deal once you get used to it. I always know what I want to do, before I create the actions, so I create all the variables before I even start.

1. Yes, that's what I thought, sad that there's no "intelligent" pasting.

2. "not that big of a deal", well it kind of is for me, but guess I'll have to live with it. :)

Thanks for your reply.

2. There is a built-in way to do this. It's called Pick each integer. The variable used will then be the (Picked Integer), which can be found in the actions tab, not the variables tab.

Keep in mind that you cant nest these. The reason for this is obviously that the game wont see the difference between them. So you can't do something like:
Code:
Pick each integer between 1 and 3:
      Pick each integer between 5 and 10:
             UI - Display message (Picked Integer)
If you try it, it'll throw an error.

The example above is very basic, but if you start having large nested triggers with custom functions, it can quickly become harder to realize that you'll get a problem later on. Because of this, I always use for-loops in bigger triggers as well as in all my custom functions.

I am familiar with programming... but yes, noticed the "Pick each integer" loop myself after my last reply, thanks though.

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
