[SOLVED]Triggers not loading sometimes

Hello,

I was testing stuff related to making a clock using hypers, and one thing that caught my attention was how the triggers were only loaded sometimes. At first I thought it was because I messed up some changes, or had to save them some other way (I'm using the text editor so it's kinda finnicky).

To figure that out, I put a trigger to display some text at the start and kept pressing restart map. Got the bug again, so it must be something else.

Then I thought "maybe something is wrong with some trigger", so I made a fresh map with hypers and one single trigger to display some text. Got the bug again.

Then I thought "maybe it's the hypers", so I disabled them and still got it.

If I kept restarting, triggers would load again after about 45s. Tried one more time for consistency and it did the same thing.

What I come here for is an explanation, if there's any, as to why is that happening.

Anyways, thanks for reading :)

Posting the map in question (or at least your triggers, in the menu go to Triggers and click Trigger Editor, then copy and paste into pastebin.com) would help us troubleshoot the issue.

Here:
1st map I noticed the issue

Triggers:

Other map I tried afterwards:

I also tried setting all death counters to 0 at the beginning of the map, in case it was some lingering value that caused the problem

Cheers :)

I think the problem was having all players in the same Force, and loading the map on Single Player.

By doing that, it would just put me in one of the many available slots for humans, and only P1 had the triggers set up.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
