Event / Condition / Action Explainations!

Agreed. Unfortunately it's quite long. This would be excellent in a web based format where you were given links, so you could quickly find what you want to find information for, and be taken to it.

Ok. I'll convert my tutorial to HTML, and sort the pages by Category (Action, Function, Event, Condition). From there, there will be an index at the top of the pages that link to certain parts of them

Ummm.... one question... what do I do with my HTML pages once they are created?

Create a new post with a link to the Html file (Upload the Html file to a Web Page first)

Hey, here's an alpha of the HTML version. Half the actions and the functions are not added, and the links on the action page doesnt work.
After you extract the files, open Guidemain to get into the main section.
Ill update this later... whenever. Ill also add TFT trigger info.

Good job man. But, I don't really get dialogs still, and how to set em up... that confuses me, along with the order you said to do the actions in and how to create dialogs and buttons.emote_confused

Stickied to appease the gods of triggering.

If I have made any mistakes, or haven't covered something, be free to post or pm me.

Also, I'll add the TFT trigger info later on.

Basic Triggering Interface Changes (TFT)
There is a change in interface in TFT. A comment button is added. (little yellow lines). Think of it as creating a normal trigger (page) but all it was for was for comments. Well, basically thats what trigger comments do. You can use em to divide triggers, explain what a set of em do, put credits, ect.

You may also make a folder have a comment icon. Do this by right clicking a folder, and clicking "Category is comment". If you know jass, click on the map icon that is at the top of your category+trigger+trigger comment list and you will have a big, open space where you can write out functions and whatever you need done before triggers are being run.
On a smaller note, The triggers are now broken down so you can access a category of trigger (unit, destructible, floating text, ect) by selecting it. And on a very small note, the last clicked changable option has double underlines.

TFT Added Variables
Blizzard can't get enough of these variables huh? Well, here you go!

Floating Text
This is the variable for new floating text. The floating text must be stored in a variable if you want to play around with it. Otherwise, it will fade out in about a minute, give or take. Well, you could use this for many things: Talking overhead characters (diablo 2 anybody?) Sign text, Hitpoints, Ect.

Item-Class
Item Classes define what kind of item an item is. Permanant, One-Time, unique, ect.

Multiboard
This is actually something that will make a table kind of look. You can use multiboards for all kinds of things. Nature's Call, Return of the Dragons, uses multiboards for maze maps (you can have an icon and a value for every multiboard item [cell] in a multiboard), and I am using multiboards to list the stats, inventory, level, ect. of heroes on a map. This comes in handy.
UMSWE Add-In. (See http://wiki.wc3campaigns.com/bin/vie...UMSWE_Modified )
For a map with all multiboard actions in it, go to the link in my signiture.

Multiboard Item
This details specific cells in a multiboard. For example, Cell (0,0) Would be the cell at 1st to the left, 1st to the top. You can use this to remember a cell/ multiboard item that is changed a lot.
UMSWE Add-In. (See http://wiki.wc3campaigns.com/bin/vie...UMSWE_Modified )

Terrain Deformation
These are also very cool! These remember deformations in the terrain, which can be removed, changed or added at will. For real, You can make hills with this and the right trigger, seemingly out of nowhere.

Hero Skill
This variable was already here, but I made it available for triggers so I could record the hero skills learned (necessary for a map a friend and I were doing). You use this to record what skills hero learns. In the map we were making, we used this to record the skills learned, so when an amnesia spell was cast, it disabled a random skill that the hero learned.
Modified UMSWE Add-In. (See http://wiki.wc3campaigns.com/bin/vie...UMSWE_Modified )

TFT Event Additions
With the newfound power of the TFT editor, amazing things will happen. Just a small sample of the powerful new editor. All new TFT events:

Game - Game Load
Right after the game is loaded from a saved game, this will make your trigger run.

Game - Game Save
Right after the game is saved, this will make your trigger run.

Player - Keyboard Event
When you press down (or let up) on an arrow key (left, right, up, down), that will cause your trigger to run.

Unit - Generic Unit Event
This will cause the trigger to run if ANY unit does that action.

TFT Condition Addition
Surprisingly, there are not very many. Hey look, I rhymed back there.

And, Multiple Conditions
This creates a little sub conditions. All the conditions in the sub conditions must be right for this condition to be true (allow the trigger to go on). Take note that you can only use this in the main view (not like part of an "matching condition" action or anything)

Or, Multiple Conditions
This creates a little sub conditions. If any of the conditions in the sub conditions is true, then this condition will be true. Take note that you can only use this in the main view (not like part of an "matching condition" action or anything)

TFT Action Additions
Many more actions were added to TFT. Observe them here!

Custom Script
Allows you to run a line of JASS code. This is one full line of jass code, no inturruptions or extra stuff added.

Wait (Game-Time)
For use in multiplayer. This will make sure every player waits # of seconds before going on to the next action (it may last a little longer than you want, since it takes a small period for the players to all recieve this.)

Wait For Conditon
Perhaps one of my favorite actions, this action will pause the trigger until a condition is true, checking every few seconds (10ths of a second).

If / Then / Else, Multiple Functions
Makes a sub trigger, so to speak. It must pass though a list of conditions before going to the "Then" actions. Otherwise, it does the "Else" actions.

For Each Integer A, Do Multiple Actions
Does a group of actions using integer a. Starts at a number, stops at a number. You pick.

For Each Integer B, Do Multiple Actions
Does a group of actions using integer b. Starts at a number,
stops at a number. You pick.

For Each Integer Variable, Do Multiple Actions
I found this one cool. It uses a variable instead of "int. a" or "int. b". For each time (starting at a number, stopping at a number) it sets that variable to the respectful repeat number and does a list of actions that you want to use.

For Each Integer Variable, Do Action
The one action sister of the one above. It uses a variable instead of "int. a" or "int. b". For each time (starting at a number, stopping at a number) it sets that variable to the respectful repeat number and does an action that you want to use.

AI: Like I said before, I have no real AI experience, so I can't give you much.

Animation - Change Destructible Animation Speed
Changes the animation speed of a destructible doodad to that percent. 0% is completly frozen, 100% is normal, 200% is double.

Changed! Set Camera Field (Timed)
Scio and Starcraftfreak were kind enough to add a Z OFFSET (height from the ground) FIELD to the Set Camera Field action! W00T!
UMSWE Add-in.

Camera - Rotate Camera Around Point
This will fix the camera onto a point and start making the camera move around it in a circular motion. Degrees is how far to rotate it, time is how fast to do that.

Cinematic - Subtitle Display Override
Turns subtitles on or off. Weather the user like it or not. (not permanant, returns to normal at end of game.)

Cinematic - Cinematic Mode (Timed)
Changes to cinematic mode over a period of time, instead of just instantly.

Cinematic - Ping Minimap With Color
Makes a map ping at a location with a customizable color.

Destructible - Open/Close Elevator Walls
This command will open up or close an invisible elevator wall surrounding an elevator (they must be placed aside an elevator in the editor). One elevator wall per side will do fine.
Elevators are fairly large blocks. You'll find em on destructible palette.

Destructible - Set Elevator Height
Sets the height of the elevator (in cliff levels) to that height.

Destructible - Pick Every Destructible in Reigon and do Multiple Actions
Picks every destructible in a reigon and does the list of actions for each one.

Destructible - Pick Every Destructible in Circle and do Multiple Actions
Picks every destructible in a circle and does the list of actions for each one. Remember, 300 is about the size of 3 peasants in a row.

Environment - Create Terrain Deformation: Crater
Makes a dent in the terrain for so many seconds (unless it's permanant). Use a negative (- sign at front of number) for making hills.

Environment - Create Terrain Deformation: Ripple
This one is hard to explain:
Second Length: How long till it dissapears.
Normal/Depression: Haven't tested.
Point: The point on the map to start the circle ripple.
Starting Radius: How far away to start the circle ripple.
Ending Radius: How far away to end the circle ripple. (you can make it lower than the starting radius for a cool ripple-in effect)
Depth: How deep these ripples dig into the terrain.
Second Ripples: The number of seconds to wait before making another ripple.
Spaced apart: The minimum space to keep between the ripples.

Think of a drop hitting water. This is what this terrain deformation does. Except it's to the terrain.

Environment - Create Terrain Deformation: Wave
Think of the shockwave effect. This makes a moving dent in the terrain (negative number for hill) from a starting point to an end point. Trailing delay is the time in seconds the dent left in the terrain heals.

Environment - Create Terrain Deformation: Random
Makes a random terrain deformation.

Environment - Stop Terrain Deformation
Stops a terrain deformation dead in it's tracks, and reverses the deformation.

Environment - Stop All Terrain Deformations
Stops all Terrain Deformations. Regardless.

Environment - Set Water Tinting Color
Set the color of the water through an action! Heh, this is pretty cool. Colors are in Red, Green, Blue. 0-100. 0 Transparency is normal. 100% transparency is invisible (which might come in handy sometime).

Floating Text - Create Floating Text At Point
Makes floating text (with Warcraft 3's Default font) at a point on the map. Colors are in Red, Green, Blue. 0-100. 0 Transparency is Completly solid, while 100 is invisible. Size is in points I believe.

Floating Text - Create Floating Text Overhead Unit
Same as above. Creates at a unit, instead of a point. Doesn't follow the unit around.

Floating Text - Destroy
Immediatly get rid of floating text. (even though it fades in about a minute)

Floating Text - Show/Hide
