GUI The Common Language Of Warcraft

[Radiance]

Intro: I know not alot of people will need a tutorial like this, cause most of you know but this is to help those people out there who want to make maps but cannot due to their lack in knowledge. Because i know when i started out i was way way way confused. So let's hope this helps.

Hmmm Lets start out with Events... In events you describe what must occur before your action is fired. We will get deeper into action later. Anywayz In events you will describe what happens. So lets say you want a creep revival trigger. So your event will be

Event 
  Unit - A unit Dies

Vague I know? I know what your thinking... How do i specify what kind of creep i want revived... Well that is where condition comes into play! Condition is a requirement that must be met in order for the action to fire. So for example you set the condition to

Conditions
    (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Footman

this means that the unit type that is dying is a footmen. So lets recap

Event- A Unit Dies
        Condition-Unit Type Of Dying Unit = footmen

as u can see it makes sense now. A unit dies.. okay simple enough, then dying unit is footmen. Okay there we go!
Now to the action... i found this the hardest cause its the longest.
Now the action can be multiple things. You can use a variable if you want, but im not covering that today. Anywayz... the action would be Actions

    Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) for (Owner of (Dying unit)) at (Position of (Dying unit)) facing Default building facing degrees

For those of you who are new to this, this may look overwhelming... well lets break it down. So first part is

Create 1 (Unit-type of (Dying unit))

... so this tells the game to create 1 of the same unit type as the one that died before. as u can see. Read over and over till you can see what it means. Now the second part says for

(Owner of (Dying unit)) at (Position of (Dying unit))

This one says to create that one unit that is the same as the one that died for the owner of the same dying unit from before. And create it at the position of where the previous one died Hmm. Lets put it together Actions

Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) for (Owner of (Dying unit)) at (Position of (Dying unit)) facing Default building facing degrees

So this says to create the same unit type of the one dying for the same owner as well at the positon at which the unit died. The facing default degrees thingy, umm just leave it never really mattered to me. BUt it may one day im not shure. Lets Put all of the trigger together!

Events
    Unit - A unit Dies
Conditions
    (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Footman
Actions
    Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) for (Owner of (Dying unit)) at (Position of (Dying unit)) facing Default building facing degrees

There it is not as complicated as you think? i hope so. So imma restate what this trigger states.

Event- a unit dies 
 condition- the unit that dies must be a footmen in order to start the action
action- if the unit is a footmen then it must create a footmen for the player that owned the footmen in the first place at the position of the previous footmen that died.

easy? i hope so. Final words

Event- What Must Occur For The Action To Run
Condition- What requirements must be met before running the action.
Action- What will occur when matching event has occured and condition is met.
That is all folks I hope this helped <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Good luck to all editors

Just saying, everyone should probably read http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=27219&highlight=memory+leaks+custom+script before getting too far in a map. I didn't know about leaks, and it took forever to take the leaks out of my map when I was done, and after I had read this, and realized that my map was hella laggy and needed it.

Add that to your tutorial and it could be approved.

wrong section, this should be in the tuturials and resources section, also I am almost 100% sure there are already things in there like this.
