i want to read one map's triggers which is protected, but i do not want the ability to change it anyway. Do you guys allow this? If so, please tell me how. If not, PM me or Delete this topic.
P.S. where can i get winMPQ?

Search google for WinMPQ

Viewing triggers without being able to edit them is impossible

If the map is protected, you will likely need to know JASS in order to read them, as the standard GUI stuff won't be present -- contact the author.

just found winmpq. I heard if u use Winmpq on the map, u can find a trigger file. But all i get is unknowns.

That's because the listfile (which lists the name of each file in the archive) was removed -- you'd have to open each file individually until you found the one that has the triggers in it -- but even then, as I said, it would be in JASS.

Yes, congratulations, that's the string file.

found the trigger file. Makes it harder to read since the map maker put triggers name as
fjdhsdasjgjag;
and variables as
fsgasghjglgfd;

....

And Lots of triggers. Jass is easy for me. But its going to take me a long time to find the trigger decoder....

Umm.. that's something that map protectors do in a pitiful attempt to further "protect" the map from prying eyes -- just ask the creator for a copy or explanations on how he did stuff.

If i do, 20 bucks he will delete the trigger i want if he gives it to me.

is it possible to take the file, rename it to the original trigger name, and place it in a map?

Chaos, stop trying to steal triggers. Ask the map maker. If they will not tell you, ask the forums on how to achieve the desired effect.

Do not attempt thievery nor expect aid in your attempts.

Blizzard owns the maps -- if anything, the creator broke the law in protecting it.

first of all. I don't want to steal the triggers. Second of all, I want to know what he did for them. I have no use for the triggers. I just want to know how he did the name coding...

Found the Triggers. VERY VERY VERY Long. Gonna take me a while to figure out.
