Basically, when you post, you want people to help right? so below I have written out the way to get best results.

Number 1
When your asking for help involving a trigger you have, do not type it out, you can simply copy paste your code into the text box,

To do this:
In World Editor in the trigger editor, go to your trigger, and above the
'Events' part of that trigger, right click the name above it, and select 'Copy as text'

Then press Ctrl + V so it pastes into this text box, then highlight your trigger, then click the # symbol which is to the very right of the B - Bold Tag

Then give a detailed as possible on what it does, what is wrong with it, how many players it has to work for, and anything else you want done with it.



Number 2
Be polite, saying "You idiot, you did not listen to what I said", even if they did not listen to what you said, is not nice, and less people will help you.



Number 3

Use correct grammar, and use as little capital letters as possible, saying "PLESWE HLP ME" is not only irritating, but is hard to read,
make sure you think about what the problem is before you post, and what exactly you want done.


--End--

I was not sure if I should make this or not, mainly because, I was not sure if it had been done before, but I did not see anyone refering them to tutorials to fix up their code, so I thought I would make this,
It is very small, and if you have anything I should add to this, please post,
I certainly have had enough of typing out how to fix someones code so it is readable.

If you think I should elaborate more on a subject, please tell me, and I will try.

(It would be good if someone would sticky or pin this in the World Editor Help Zone, so people would read it (Hopefully), and post correctly)

Cheers

Very short for a tutorial, and I must say, most of that information is covered in the various stickied thread about forum rules.

> It would be good if someone would sticky or pin this in the World Editor Help Zone

We just got rid of some stickies a few weeks ago. Do we really need to fill it up again?

If anything, I would say, add this as a addendum to a current thread about forum rules. Of course, people don't read those very often anyway....

I think this tutorial explains how to ask questions well enough and a lot of other stuff as well.

Only difference is you put the trigger part.

I have never read it, I have not even looked at it.

All I know is that if I saw something called 'Get best results from posting' I would read it quickly, I know it is very short, but there is not that much info

>>Ghan_04, I would not read that entire thing, or various posts to get information about posting properly, all I want to know is how to get faster replies, which my 'title' indicates:p

Apart from all that stuff, is my tutorial, or shortorial, understandable?

Yes. YOU would read it. Others? Probably not so much.

> understandable

Definitely understandable. I'll give you that. :D

What is that supposed to mean... :mad:


Example:

I am new, and I am posting, I see 'Rules and blah', I see 'Get Better Results From Posting', I go Ah! I should read that.

Personally I do not think people like to spend 1 hour reading all the rules, in which they can spend 5 minutes reading this:p and it has a better title lol.

Anyway, I thought I would just refer people to it who use bad code, so I do not have to re-type that everytime I post.

I didn't mean to offend. Sorry if I was unclear. I didn't mean your tutorial is bad and people would hate it. I just see it as another 'rules' kind of post that would get ignored by the majority of the newcomers.

> I think part of one of the stickies SHOULD explain how to post GUI though...

One of them does. The one posted by Darg.
