My custom triggers - Question
Permalink  
 


Well, I am a fairly accomplished trigger scriptor, and I've made about ~30 effects/conditions in all. I want to be able to allow other people to use them, and have new effects, but I dont know what to do. Shoudl I just release them in a download at AomH? Er what?

Yep, put up a thread, tell them what each one does (Briefly) and then say you are working on it for 2 days or so then release. The extra days builds up excitement. wink

You can post an announcement thread and put those triggers in a proto/protox and release them in the Downloads Central, or you can post a thread where you explain them and put the codes between [code] tags.

Wanted to thank you winston for that Fire Event QV

That one cut out 65 looping link triggers if you can believe it. Probably prevented another 35 from appearing at all.

Yeah well my issues why Im asking are:

1) I was in that CASTWCRT thing for a while, but I wasnt able to release triggers with them, so it will look wierd if I go solo maybe.

2) There are already so many trigger packs, so chances are people will just write me off as another person who made triggers and ignore it, since im by myself and dont have a name at hg.

But well they are really helpful. I couldnt have done nomadican without my various PC effects, and fire event qv was used very much as well (welcome thy), and I have discovered and made new triggers.

Like my resize unit trigger, lets you finally change a units size in game not just in editor, and then clear chats, which gets all chats off the screen but doesnt delete chat history if you want to go back and see it still. Then my group effect, which perfectly makes groups for RPG's hotkeys.  Many more.

A showcase will get more people to download it. I think you oughta post a thread, but you can decide whether to put the codes in there or to release them in the DC.

Actually, I believe there is a z or y trigger for it.

*Grins in superiourity.

Actualy, there is NOT a working effect that fully allows you to make a unit change size to your specifications in game. Mine has size way (bigger or smaller), time in ms of sizing, mute selection sound, it all works in itself.


Where as nottuds does none of that, all his is is the code for changing size taken out of the console and stuck in a command. It wont select the unit, it will only size what has been selected, and never stop. Hehe, mine is definately new jacky boy, dont worry.
