I am trying to form a trigger in code using SCMDraft. I am familiar with programming so I am comfortable wit this style of trigger coding but I am a little shaky of the terms and syntax to use.

I am trying to form a code for "If Player 'x' brings any unit to "fate" then move unit for current player at "fate" to player 'x' trigger" Where x represents the player number and player x trigger is a trigger by that players base

so far i have this(obviously ill need an if,then for each player)
Trigger("All Players"){
Conditions:
Bring("Player 1", "Any Unit", "Fate of Golem");

Actions:

Text triggers are not meant to be written from scratch. Don't do it.
They are meant to create large quantities of similar triggers or for bug fixing.

An advanced triggering method would be to use an editor like Notepad++ to create your own templates.
Make triggers using the classic trigger editor of ScmDraft to see what the syntax has to be.

guff1988, I cant understand what is your particular problem.

Well, beside that, I remember a wired problem with synthax when the text trigger edit wont compile the trigger if there is a space between the closeing bracket and opening brace in the line "Trigger("All Players"){".

Why not? Dont spoil youngsters' minds guff1988, if you're interested in codeing triggers in text you should look at this: Macro Triggers. In general this tool will help you to intelligently copy your triggers and then to modify all your copies at once in a universal way. For example, in your case, instead of copying your triggers for all players x manually you will only have to write:


Where "Base x" is the location by the base of the Player x. This will copy the trigger under the for-loop for each x getting values from 1 to 8 inclusive. You should understand this fine, as far as you're familliar with programming. If not, feel free to ask.

After that, you're running the tool on these lines which produces the text file with the multiplied triggers which you're copy-pasteing into the text triggers in SCMD and compile.

well if you just read my entire post you would have noticed that I suggested basically the same thing as you did.
However I admit writing "manually" instead of "from scratch" would have been clearer.
