NEW 1.18 Triggers!

the patch gave us a bunch of triggers that are a bit confusing, new lightning stuff, and a new catagory called "Ubersplat" and a new catagory called "Image". Now sinse (as most of you know), the patch notes are never acurate on the new WE stuff, lets make this a thread to consolidate all findings on the new 1.18 triggers...

Splats and Ubersplats are things like building ground textures, the crater in flamestrike etc, essentially textures put over the normal terrain. I had found a way to fake this in 1.17 but these trigs makes things easier :D *continues to look*

The Patch notes also said that you can use an explicit Z-coordinate for Lightning, but I can't find how... Anybody figured it out?

Though I know that the patch is out, I can't seem to find the standalone patch, even on Battle Net - any ideas anyone? Cause I'm really looking forward to playing around with the new triggers, and also altering my currently (forever) in progress map to take these new changes and the balances etc into account.

Oh great, a new match and potentially new triggers, and no one ever said anything about it in the news of this site, probably if the site's administrators are no longer interested in wc3 they should halt down this thing.

Don't be that harsh....the patch only came out like within 24 hours ago. Admins sometimes may be busy with other bureaucratic stuff....at least you heard it from this thread....

unless they modified pre-existing functions, or took old ones out, adding new functions never messes something old up

I actually got flamed in #wc3campaigns for saying that the patch was out.

There is something strange about this patch. I can't find the function or natives in the Blizzard/common.j I also tried to reinstall game and get the patch again but same thing happened when I was looking. Is it in another file or..??????

well that was interesting, i got an image to appear on the ground, which is really interesting cause this opens up a load of things u can do

ok well thats a lie, i got a square to appear on the ground that appeared to be textured wrong since it was 4 brown rectangles roughly
