I just started working with trigedit but anytime I try to put some script into it, save, and close the window, the script i put in is deleted. Help please?
P.S. I have the latest version of scmdraft2

Are you clicking on the button with the check mark in the top leftish corner? That's what saves the changes you make.

Yeh you press the compile button, I don't think you even need to press the save button.
Usually you'll get something like:
Error at line X.
Error at line Y. Done!

If it says Done! it means it successfully compiled.

If it says:
something like 'expected' or some such it means you made some error in the code like incorrect unit name location name or other missing syntax.

Use an editor that does the counting for you (e.g. http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.2.3.html ), because yes, you have to count.
Trigedit never got completed so it's still in its alpha stage and as such has like zero functionality, except compiling the triggers you put in.

ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!

In general, you should make new triggers with classic trigedit, then copy/change triggers with a combination of Notepad++ and trigedit.

You really shouldn't be using trigedit other than to copy/paste triggers that you have created/edited in an external program (or another map). There are many coding languages now created specifically for trigedit, which can be very useful if you learn how to use them.

You can just paste it in to Notepad and press Ctrl+G and type the line number. (But this might be a feature only in Vista or 7 ...)

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
