Changes: Triggers

Revision as of 03:55, 16 March 2013

The trigger editor is used to create scripts that are executed after certain events are raised by the game. Trigger files are automatically converted into galaxy script when the map is run.

The Basic Concept of a Trigger

You specify an event that will "start" the trigger (Unit dies, Unit enters region, Effect Used, etc...)
When the event happens, the game checks any conditions you added (Unit has attribute "hero", owner of unit is player 1, unit's life is over 50, etc...)
If the all the conditions you added are true, the Actions you list will be executed( Kill Unit, End game for player 1, Create Unit, etc...)

Banks	Cameras	Campaign	Catalog	Challenge
Chat Bubble	Cinematics	Conversation	Conversion	Comments
Data Table	Debug	Dialog	Environment	Game

This whole mess down here will be deleted later, it's supposed to look like a table, which I'm recreating above. The links are still here just for references so we know where to link stuff. -zelda
