Have a huge set of repetitive triggers?

I'm trying to learn Visual Basic, and could use some practice. So if you have a huge set of tedious and repetitive triggers, let me write a script for you to make them all.

Just tell me what (in detail) you want. If you don't want the public to know, you can add me on MSN (impeachedbard@hotmail.com) and send me stuff about it.

There already are several programs for that.

Visual Basic can do much more.

I coded my text trigger duplicator in VB, and I'm pretty sure MindArchon coded his in VB as well. Mine is not as good as it could be by any means, but at the time it got the job done for what I wanted it to do.

I think it's suitable for duplicating things with 1 variable, or 2 if you know what you're doing, but it's probably also confusing to use and probably has a flaw in certain cases where it does the duplication, which would just end in a runtime error.

A more versatile trigger duplicator is always welcome.

I probably won't go to the trouble to make another one. I'd just like some practice, and helping people in the process is always nice.

If you make one, you would:

-Have to make it simple enough for anyone to use
-More then one variable (even different trigger variables)
-Better then whats already out their
-Works easily (input text, hit button, spits out new text)

Do the other trigger duplicators allow you to have a list of units that run through the variable.

Mine allows for that. There's one variable where you can set the range and how it gets incremented, and there's another which changes according to a specified text file.

You can include either of the variables separately or use both of them at the same time.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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?
[04:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[06:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
