[GUI] Before You Ask For Trigger Help

Before you EVER ask for help with triggers, make sure you pull out your trigger (and if you're using dummy units, the object editor) and run through this first. This mostly leans towards GUI help, but to an extent it CAN help Jass.



History/Log -
13/Oct/2008: Released
15/Nov/2008: Minor aesthetic change.


If you find any bugs in the links, please report them here.
If you want to make any comments, that area is locked. Put replies and comments here.

Also, if anyone wants to make a Jass version of this - feel free to. Just give me the link to yours and I'll link it from here to there so that they're connected by front pages.

Enjoy.

the link doesn't work

Really? It does for me.

It's in the pastebin under the title of "Before Asking For Trigger Help" but it won't give me that "Valid Link" thingamabob. Does it need to be moved out, if so... will it mess up the many links I took a few hours out to join properly?

you acn see it because you started the thread, and probably you've locked. When you lock a pastebin thread, the link changes, so use the new one.

Doesn't work for me either. No permission.

Just testing but here's the basic link:
http://www.wc3campaigns.net/pastebin...c72c6326dcc779

But could you also test if running through this would also work?
http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showpost...59&postcount=1

The first of the 2 works for me.
But of course all links within the Pastebin-Test also need to be fixed, because when I click yes/no i get the same permission problem.

Say, I'll fix this as soon as possible but how do I link to separate posts in the paste-bin if possible? ... Also, if I could have the paste-bin'd thread moved out of the pastebin and moved god knows where (maybe graveyard where it can stay out of site but still be usable), would I keep the links or...?

EDIT!
If I can't find an idea by the end of this week (I'll make another post to signify "the end"), just graveyard this. I'll find a new method to make this work.

This post declares the "end" of this week.

I am going to try to make a conversion of this, but would it be more viable to make the actual flow-thread here or in the graveyard?

If I make the two things the same thread, I'll have comments and the colossus together - but if I have two things in two threads, I'll have comments one place and the flow-thing somewhere else.

We could move the thread to Triggers & Scripts (and close it when you're not working on it, of course). That would solve a lot of issues, though you might still have to fix the links.

And I like the flow-thing as separate. I think it's actually quite a novel idea :D

Well, the paste-bin link is still there. If it COULD be moved, then could you move this thread to T&S? I'll fix the links if it needs to be over there. http://www.wc3campaigns.net/pastebin...c72c6326dcc779

If you get this working, this sounds really cool. :P

Shit, this is actually really cool. It all works for me, I had a blast troubleshooting. -- Apparently my trigger had a dummy unit error. :<

It works for you because you're an Admin, Dusk.

What say ye about moving this to the tutorials section and the flow thread to T&S so it's viewable by all? Lock it and then Tide can PM someone if he needs it open for a bit to edit some things.

What Pyro said, having it moved to T&S would be purdy cool 'cause then it would be a fully public resource. I'd only bug someone if they have something that holds major relevance or need.
