Ummmm, use SCMDraft 2 or Starforge, they're the best. I have no clue what the blue letters are.

What text are you using in the trigger?

Just fiddle about with the strings.
If you can do that in Xtra.

If that doesn't work, turn your computer off, and turn it back on again. That usually makes it work.

it could be a text problem actually im positive it is but how do i change the text, because when i put my cursor over the blue letters what happens is the cursor turns into like an I shape like i were going to highlight something any idea how to change the font or something?

xtra editor isn't bad, but it has a lot less functionality than other editors, like SCMDraft and Starforge. most people here prefer scmdraft, but imo starforge has the best trigger editing. people say it crashes a lot, which is true, but whenever you save your map, it auto-creates a backup copy, so it doesn't matter if it gets corrupted.
what i do is use scmdraft for terrain and placing units/locations w/ grid lock, and use starforge for triggers.

it's relevant because it's most likely a problem with his editor.
i suggest he reinstall it.

And because he hasn't said anything, it proves I was right. Just felt I had to say that :)
Still, the way he said that makes me think he isn't pleased he has to reboot....
But then again, maybe his computer exploded when he pressed the power button.

Wow... he didn't even reboot before posting here? It only takes a few minutes.

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating

NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games

Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition
