Calling any trigger expert... (desperate need of help)

I am in a deadlock right now.

Wonderful... I progress my map like there's no tomorrow. I got the FPS system (by LegolasArcher) ready to be used in multiplayer. I even got the Integer Password System ready... or did I?

There's a huge problem, and I am just unbelievably mad. I had a trigger that creates a Countdown timer with the following title:

Type Name

I also created a trigger allowing people to be able to name their racer with the following text:

You have typed too many letters. Please leave it at 13 letters or under.


This is the queer part. The Integer Password system by Nemesis9x worked perfectly until I implemented the "Naming the Animal" trigger. Soon after, whenever I type in an invalid code, I end up with:

You have typed too many letters. Please leave it at 13 letters or under.
Code: (this is the place where the current code will be)
Type Name

Yes... It happens EVERY time. I tried deactivating the triggers, but it still displayed the text like this. Heck, I even DELETED the triggers (with a backup), but it ended up with the same:

You have typed too many letters. Please leave it at 13 letters or under.
Code: (this is the place where the current code will be)
Type Name

I don't get it. I delete the damn triggers, and any existance of it (that I know of). I STILL get the same message. How the hell can a trigger call for a specific function in another trigger? It is just not possible...

It is a horrible bug. Whoever can fix this will not only get a Reputation point, but if I ever finish my map, I will give the person credit. Here's a screenshot, and even my map for someone to fix.

Well one thing I'd recomend is to contact nemesis if his save system is giving you trouble. Since your map is protected it can't be analyzed.

Call your last save when it worked and continue from there, i allways do that when something is impossible for me to figure. I hope you DO save various versions? For example 0.001, 0.002, 0.003... so you can go back if you ruin the map?

Aw well otherwise i dunno how to help u sorry

Wow... Protected? Are you using UMSWE, 'cause normal editor doesn't work.

I took GaDDeN's advice. I worked on the map before all the crap happened, and it's working fine now.

I opened it with WEU also and it still didn't open I don't have UMSWE installed but I doubt that will work either.

The trigger info missing leads me to believe its protected since most protectors delete the trigger file.

If your suprised and didn't protect it the trigger file may have gotten corrupted.
