Hi,

Is there an existing Python library that will take as input the raw trigger strings from SCMDraft and parse each trigger into different object representations, e.g. a Trigger should have a list of conditions, list of actions, etc. There would be a sublcass of Trigger_Action for each action, like Set Deaths, which would have fields/methods to set the different parameters: "Set Deaths("Player 8", "Alan Turret", Set To, 0);", e.g. there might be a .player field, a .unit field, etc.

Nice to have would also be automatic compilation and checking of trigger format inside Python, rather than copy-pasting into SCMDraft and then getting a notification.

If I'm not being clear, I will provide a Python example showing what I mean.

Wouldn't it make more sense to parse the binary triggers? Or is that too much overhead with the various required datafiles and string table / switch table / location table?

I don't think there is a tool that does exactly what you are looking for, but there are some other options you could look into. I put a more detailed reply of the options in your other thread: http://www.staredit.net/370906/
