Event / Condition / Action Explainations!

[theJ89]

What is this? I made this in my free time, its to help newbies or people who are used to Starcraft's old triggering system understand WC3's a little better, or just some good old fashioned reference when you dont know about something.

The Frozen Throne trigger explanations are at the bottom of this post and on the second page. These first posts detail warcraft 3 trigger information.

To find the explaination of a variable, event, condition, action, or function, press CTRL+F and type in the exact phrase. For example: Quest - Create Quest will find you the explanation for the quest creation action.

First of all, the basics to the WC3 Triggers:

What is with this Trigger called Melee Initilization?
If you are a former Starcraft player, you remember the modes of play, such as Use Map Settings, Melee, FFA, Team Melee - Thats all gone now! The trigger they give you for free in a new map is the trigger for a melee map! If you take this out, your map will not do anything like it would in a melee map, like removing the creeps, creating starting units, setting hero limits and stuff like that.

Folders
If you noticed by now, on the left there is a bar that has Folders and Triggers. Folders are just there to make organizing your triggers easier. For example, you could make a folder for each wave in a defense map if you wanted.

Triggers(Pages)
Triggers are what makes a custom map... Custom. They are made up of Events, Conditions, and Actions. A trigger has to be placed in a folder, and may not contain any symbol in it's name. If you select a trigger, there are two checkboxes: Enabled and Initally on. If a trigger is not Enabled, it will not run at all, and there will be no way to turn it on ingame. If a trigger is Initally OFF, however, it will not work until you run it using another action, or if you use another action to turn it on.

[theJ89]

Variables
What are they, Starcraft fans? If you remember switches, which could be true or false, then you know what one type of variable is.
Variables can hold info, like what someone said ten minutes ago, or what the strength of a hero is right now. They can even remember the last 20 units you made!

Ability
This type of variable remembers a type of ability, like Heal. You could use this if Red chose an ability for all the heroes to learn, and then have a trigger give all the heroes this ability!

Boolean
These can be set to true or false, like starcraft's "Switches".
For example, if you made a room, and made it so when a hero entered, it would remember he entered the room if he ever entered again.

Camera Object
You will not use this very often, but this is used to remember the new "Cameras" in WC3. I don't have any idea what to use these variables for, except maybe having a different camera for each player.

Destructible
This will hold a single Destructible, or a Doodad that can be attacked. An often used idea for this kind of variable is to open a specific door when the hero walks up to it.

Destructible-Type
This will remember a type of destructible, like a Crate. You could use this to create a different kind of doodad in several places quickly, if the type of doodad you wanted to make changed (like random trees, for example).

Defeat Condition
Defeat Conditions are conditions that cause a quest to be marked as failed. If any defeat condition is true, the quest is failed. You can commonly use this for quests requiring something to be alive.

Dialog
Without this type of variable, you can't make your own neat little boxes that pop, like when you lose or win. A dialog variable is the actual dialog that pops up, is added buttons to, ect. Please note that the game has no way of telling what player clicked the dialog button, so you must have a dialog variable for every player.

Dialog Button
If you want something to happen when somebody clicks a button on your dialog, then you must have one of these. To set this variable after the button is created use Set Variable = Last Created Dialog Button. An example of this is, if you click on what you want to transform into like in the changeling, then your unit will be replaced.

Game Cache
This is handy for organizing different caches, or basically files that can be carried over onto diffent maps. I don't have an example here.

Game Speed
You can change the speed of the game now, unlike in starcraft multiplayer. Use this to remember what the original game speed was.

Integer
For those of you who are not computer geeks, this means "any number", which means you can as far down as -2147483648 or as high up as 2147483647. There are unlimited uses for this: Use it to remember how many items a hero has, how many players there were, how many kills a player has, the EXP of a hero, the wave of monsters you are on, like I said, endless! The only bad thing about integers are that they cannont hold decimals. Reals can hold decimals, and Integers can be converted into Reals.

Item
Use this to refer to a specific item. You could use this to automatically drop a flag at a point, or to give that item instantly to another hero, and more.

Item-Type
Use this for changing types of items. If you want to make a different item everytime a hero does something, use this kind of variable.

Leaderboard
Use this to refer to one leaderboard. You can use this in maps with more than one type of mode. Like Free For All Kills and Flags captured, and that kind of stuff.

Order
Use it to remember an order given. I know one way you can use this: If you have a hero, and several units not owned by you behind it, lets say you gave the hero an attack order. You can use the order variable to give all the units behind it that same order.

Player
Use player to remember a specific player. Lets say a hero picks up an item. Then, the player that picked it up would get 1 gold every second. Its kinda like a gold producing thingomabob.

Player Color
Use this to remember the color of a player. Sounds useless?
Well, how bout this? If the color of the player changes, and he couldnt remember what color he was, he could do something to get his old color back, since it would be remembed in the variable!

Player Group
Use it to refer to a bunch of players, but not in specific. The common use for this is putting players In a "red team" or "blue team".

Point
Use this to remember an EXACT point on the map. In my map Machine Gun Marines, I used this variable to remember where my unit started out, so if it died, it would respawn there, and I wouldn't need a location.

Quest
Use this to refer to a specific quest. Most commonly used to remove them after they've been completed, since after they are made there is no other way to remember them except Last created Quest.

Quest Requirement
This has no actual role in weather a quest is won or lost, it's just there to tell the players whats up and if it's been completed. Use this to remember a specific Quest Requirement. You can use this to mark a specific aspect of the quest (for example, 1: bring the bowl to the house 2: Open the door ) as done.

Race
This remembers the race of a player, or if you have UMSWE, the race of a unit. Lets say you want to make a unit that fits whats brought into a location (like a human footman and a human paladin, or a night elf archer and a night elf Demon Hunter). ou can use this variable to remember what race it was.

Real
These are just like Integers, and can be converted into them. The difference is that the game uses these more often, like when figuring out the stats of units, where integers are used more with triggers. Another difference is the ability to use decimals, to be more specific. Lets say you wanted to increase the HP of a unit by 0.9 every second (11 seconds to get 1 HP lol), well thats something integers have a bit of trouble with!

Region(Rect)
They renamed Locations to Regions in WC3, and scrapped the High/Medium/Low ground thing. Basically, Region variables arent used that much, since there is a low use for them. You can use the region variables to remember where weather effects are, or where a group of units are located, ect. The correct term for regions is Rects, short for rectangles. An actual region is much different.

Region(Collection of Rects)
This opens up bold possibilities. Remember, the real regions are going to be called regions here, and the normal ones will be called their right name, Rects. A region is a Rect Group, to say the least. You can use the regions in events to detect if a player enters any rect inside of a region. If you don't understand that, think of it this way: If a unit enters any forest, triggers can detect it entered a forest with just one event. This is accomplished by adding the rects over the forest to a region, which means that all of the rects over a forest will now be in the Forests Region. If a unit enters a rect in the forest region, the trigger runs. Cool eh?

Sound
The Sound variable is used to refer to a specific sound. Lets say you have ten sounds playing at once, but only want to stop number 7. Use a sound variable to remember it, and then stop it with a trigger.

Event ID
Not really sure what this is for, its a UMSWE add-in that will let you identify events. No example for this.

Special Effect
If you plan to create cool stuff on units or on the map, you will need a way to take them off! Make sure you set it right after it is made, or else you will NEVER be able to remove it, unless it is a special effect that dissapears after a while. I used this in Machine Gun Marines to take the flag being "carried" on the unit off.

String
This is very useful, it has many different uses that people don't seem to utilize. Strings are simply this: a line of text. Anything that can be typed is a string. You can use this to remember the name of a player's first unit, or to remember the colors for text, the player's name, if you want.

Tech-Type
Remembers a type of upgrade. You can use this to automatically max out the type of upgrade being learned.

Timer
Without this, you cannot make timers! Like Dialogs, the variable IS the Timer. Timers are not visible until a timer window is made for them. People use these all the time (no pun intended), to show how long it is until the next level, or the end of the game.

Timer Window
Use this to refer to a specific timer window. There can be several timer windows open at once. Lets say we want everyone to see how long it takes a killed player to respawn. When he finally does, it gets rid of the specific timer window.

Trigger
Use it to refer to a specific trigger. The most common use is to Enable/Disable different triggers like this.

Trigger Condition
I don't know if this is a UMSWE add-in or not, but it supposedly remembers a specific trigger condition.

Trigger Action
I don't know if this is a UMSWE add-in or not, but it supposedly remembers a specific trigger action.

Unit
This variable is highly used in RPGs, and in some other games as well. The idea of this is to refer to a specific unit even if it is not on the map to begin with.

Unit Group
Use this to refer to a lot of units, but not in specific. You must use a trigger to add units to a Group variable. An example you say? Hmm... lets say a unit walks into a location. Add it to a unit group variable to make the game remember it's been there.

Unit-Type
Use this to remember a specific type of unit. Ever play golems? Lets say somebody chooses a Rock Golem. A trigger is told to make the unit-type variable. The unit-type variable is set to Rock Golems, and of course, rock golems are created. But say you chose mechanical golems, then, the unit-type variable would be set to mechanical golems. Then, the trigger would start making mechanical golems. Understand?

Unit-Targeted Unit Order
Use it to refer to an order issued to a unit by a player that involves another unit. I cant think of a use for this, its another UMSWE add-in.

Ground-Targeted Unit Order
Use it to refer to an order issued to a unit by a player that involves empty terrain. Still, no use for this, UMSWE Add-In.

Destructible-Targeted Unit Order
Use it to refer to an order... God do you ride the short bus to school?... issued to a unit by a player that involves a doodad. Yet again, no known use, UMSWE Add-In.

Untargeted unit order
Use it to refer to a unit that was issued an order with no target (stop, hold position, cancel, ect.)

Unit Order
I dont know what makes this much different from the order variable, its just another UMSWE Add-In.

Visibility Modifier
Use it to refer to some special area that allows you vision or no vision. You can use this variable to turn the effect on / off, like in MRP1-91P.

Weather Effect
The final variable, use the weather effect to refer to a special weather effect being applied somewhere. Use it to make it look like rain or snow while time passes.

Notes about arrays
Arrays are very cool, they allow you to have more than one variable in one variable. For example, a unit array will let you list as many units as you want in a single variable. The catch? you must give it a number. Like player 1's unit would be Units[1] and player 2's unit would be Units[2] and so on.

[theJ89]

Events
What are these "events"? They are a new thing that Blizzard has made for us. Instead of running a trigger every few milliseconds to check if something is happening in like in starcraft, Events will make the trigger run when it happens.

This is important! You remember "Current Player" from starcraft? There IS a way to make this work in WC3! I learned that ANY of the events you list in a trigger will make it run, no matter if the other events are happening! Lets say, for example, your events look like this:

Player 1 Finishes training a unit.
Player 2 Finishes training a unit.
Player 3 Finishes training a unit.
Player 4 Finishes training a unit.
Player 5 Finishes training a unit.
Player 6 Finishes training a unit.
Player 7 Finishes training a unit.
Player 8 Finishes training a unit.
Player 9 Finishes training a unit.
Player 10 Finishes training a unit.
Player 11 Finishes training a unit.
Player 12 Finishes training a unit.

Maybe we wanna give 20 gold to whoever just made that unit. To refer to the player we are giving gold to, use Triggering Player in this case. If it involves actions where no players are listed, like "enters a reigon" then you would do owner of triggering unit. You get it?

Well anyway, my explaination of Events below.

Map Initilization
The trigger will run at the exact moment the map loads - that means before you have actually started playing it, which means that creating units or displaying text and whatnot will not work if your trigger runs now.

Destructible Doodad - Destructible Doodad Dies
Runs the trigger whenever a specific destructible doodad that is ALREADY on the map is destroyed, blown up, chopped down, whatever.

Dialog - Dialog Button Click
When a Dialog Button is clicked. You must use variables to refer to a specific dialog button.

Game - Time of Day
This will happen at the moment when the time is greater/less/not equal to/equal to whatever is time is used. The time is in real. 12 is noon, 24 is midnight. Remember this easy thing, if you are dealing with PM, add twelve.

Game - Value of Real Variable
Will happen at the moment the real variable is greater/less/not equal to/equal to whatever you have put down.

Game - Hero Abilities Button is Clicked
Will make the trigger run when any hero button is clicked on any unit no matter what player.

Game - Build Structure Button Clicked
Will make the trigger run when any build button is clicked on any
unit no matter what player.

Player - Chat Message
This is one of the coolest things of WC3 - Chat commands! This will run when the player types whatever you have in the text space. If you select (as an exact match) its means that it will make sure that what he/she typed is exactly it, caps and all, and nothing else. If you choose (as a substring) then it will check to see if the the exact text is in what he/she typed.

Player - Cinematic Skipped (or ESC pressed)
This event will run when ESC is pressed. (the default key for skipping movies btw) This can even be run when the player has no imput.

Player - Selection Event
This will happen when a player selects a unit. Note that it doesn't matter if that player owns that unit. You can use this in an Roleplay Map to make spawning on click possible. It can also do when a player deselects any unit as well.

Player - Properties
This will make the trigger run if a player's gold or lumber (there are more i just dont feel like putting them up) becomes greater/less/not equal to/equal to whatever you have down.

Player - Alliance Change
The trigger with this event will run when the player given changes anything in the "Allies" screen. This will run if a trigger changes the alliance settings as well.

Player - Alliance Change (specific)
Will happen when a specific kind of alliance change happens. (shared vision, Non-Agression Allience, ect.) Will also run if triggers change it.

Player - Victory
Runs when the player leaves with a victory. Note that in WC3 getting a victory will not make the other players lose so there is a use for this trigger.

Player - Defeat
Runs when the player leaves, is defeated, or is disconnected.

Player - Advanced Events
This is a UMSWE add-in. It does almost everything the player events above do.

Time - Time Elapsed
This will run the trigger after the game has been started for so long.

Time - Periodic Event
This was the event of all Starcraft Triggers, Believe it or not! It checked to see if the events you had in them were true every 0.001 seconds if it was a repeating trigger. Well anyway, this trigger keeps running itself every (how many seconds you put in). To stop it, turn the trigger off with an action.

Time - Timer Expires
Will run the trig when a timer variable reaches 0.

Unit - Specific Unit Event
Will happen whenever a specific unit already on the map does a specific event (die, train, decay, ect.). I will post a list of them later.

Unit - Player Owned Unit Event
Same as above, with the exception of being a unit owned by the player instead of a specific unit

Unit - Unit Enters Reigon
Will run at the exact moment the center of the unit enters the location specified. It runs no matter what unit enters, even if it is created or teleported, or is a flying unit or whatever.

Unit - Unit Leaves Reigon
Runs the trigger when any unit leaves the location, im not sure if it applies to teleporting units or not.

Unit - Unit Within Range
This is something fairly easy to remember - 100 units is about the length / width of a peasant. So lets say you drew a circle with a width and height of 500 around a unit. If that circle passes onto a unit that is already on the map, your trigger will run.

Unit - Life
Will run at the moment when the preplaced unit's life becomes equal to/not equal to/greater than/less than what you have in the event.

Unit - Mana
Will run at the moment when the preplaced unit's mana becomes equal to/not equal to/greater than/less than what you have in the event.

[theJ89]

Conditions
If you have starcraft, remember the old events system they had? Every event had to be in action for it to work, right? Well, WC3's Conditons are the same thing as Starcraft's Events - They must all be in action (or true) to let the trigger run.

Just some quick info, most people refer to Doodads that can die as destructibles.

Equal means "Same" and not equal means "not the same". I'm not treating you like a moron its just easier to remember that.

Boolean Comparison
Boolean Comparisan basically deals with things that do not involve numbers, text, units, or stuff like that. It deals with true/false stuff, like, "Is this unit in this Group?" or "does this location have this point inside of it?". The one I use the most is Unit is In Reigon, because in order for certain things to happen (ex click a unit and it will spawn it) I don't want other things to happen (ex click on ANY unit and spawn it)

Destructible Comparison
Compares two Destructibles, and is true if they match (or if you chose not equal, don't match). Lets say a destructible dies. Events can't figure out if the destructible doodad is a specific one by themselves, so instead the game makes its own variables to remember the dying doodad, like "Event Response - Dying Doodad" to refer to the doodad that is dying. The way I used this was to create units after a destructible died at specific spots (like a red spider at one spot, a black one at another, ect).

Destructible-Type Comparison
This will see if one type of destructible is same / not the same to another. Lets say that a destructible dies. If the dead destructible would be equal to a tree, then the destructible would be regrown.

Dialog Button Comparison
Use this conditon so your triggers can tell the difference between Dialog Buttons! You MUST use variables for this condition. The idea of using this condition is fairly simple. Make a trigger with an "A dialog button is clicked for dialog" event. Now, for the condition use Dialog Button Comparison, with "Event Response-Clicked Dialog Button" first, and the Dialog Button variable second. I think i confused myself :\
It should Look like this: Clicked Dialog Button Equal To Variable

Game Difficulty Comparison
Has no real use in Multi-player maps. In single player campaigns, however, this is used to do different triggers for different difficulties. For example: (Difficulty Level) Equal to Hard. Remember, this has nothing to do with Multiplayer, it refers to the game difficulty under "Options".

Game Speed Comparison
This can be used in multi-player I suppose, I have no idea how. It just checks the speed of the game, and if it is what you have down, then the trigger can run.

Hero Skill Comparison
This is used to check the type of skill that was learned. Note that is HAS to be a hero skill, or else you will have to convert the trigger to custom text to edit the conditon. I know one way you could use this. Lets say you have a hero villager (sounds stupid but wth) and he has two skills: Firebolt and Blizzard. If he chooses Firebolt, his hero will be a flame-based hero. If he chooses Blizzard, his hero will be an ice-based hero.

Integer Comparison
Half of the conditions I have used deal with integer comparisons. You use this to compare an Integer Variable with a number. For example: KillNum Equal to 5

Item Comparison
Use it to compare specific items. You can use this is multi-player, if you wish. What if you had an item in an RPG that was sooo important, that whoever picked it up won? Well, lets use "a unit aquires an item" for an event, and (Item Being Manipulated) Equal to "Whatever 1234" for a condition. That just means, When a hero picks up an item, check to see if the item he's messing around with is the same item that im talking about.

Item Type Comparison
Use it to refer to a type of item, but not in specific. You can use it to find out if an item the hero just bought is a special kind of item. Well, what if, in an RP, toming was banned from the map, but someone had a tome seller. If a hero was caught buying those kind of tomes... Well you get it.

Order Comparison
Use it to figure out what kind of orders were issued.( I use another RP example here :) If you have ever played Kooler's Revenge, remember that when you did attack the spawner teleported? This is how you can use it! If the issued order is the same as attack, then it will let the trigger run. Something frustraiting is that you have to use the Convert String to Order function in the normal World Edit. Get UMSWE, they already have a list of orders built into the editor.

Player Comparison
Checks to see if players are the same (Like the killer of a unit IS red). You use this for what? Well, what if player one could only step on a certain Circle of Power? Then you would use this: Owner of Triggering Unit Equal to Player 1 (Red)
to let the trigger run.

Player Color Comparison
Seems useless? You can use this to See if two player colors are the same. (is Player 1's color still red?) This has to be here since player's colors can now change.

Player Controller Comparison
Use this to figure out who or what is controlling a player. For example, is a User controlling a Player, or is a Computer? You can use this to enable computer players - err lets say that Team Red is missing a player. Use this conditon to make the missing player do stuff by him - errr ITS self.

Player Slot Status Comparison
The most used condition, I believe, is this one. You can use it to figure out if a player is Playing, unused (or in otherwords Open), or if the player has left. The most common use for this is to remove an entire player's unused units like in Starcraft.

Race Comparison
Use it to see if the race of a player or unit is equal to Human, Night Elf, Orc, or Undead. The most likely use for this is to create units based on race.

Real Comparison
Basically the same as Interger comparison, except less used. Use it to check the HP/MP of units.

Trigger Event ID Comparison
This is a BlacKDicK (btw nice name) add-in, it's used to compare the last event that caused a trigger to run that is related to Unit, Player, and Player Owned Unit events, and sees what type of event it was. What if you have more than one event for your trigger? Like, a unit dies and a unit gains a level? The conditon here will be able to tell the difference.

Trigger Action Comparison
I really have no idea what this is for. Its another BlacKDicK add-in.

Reigon Comparison
Supposedly sees if two reigons are the same/not the same. When I tried it, I got some compile error and I had to remove the conditon. UMSWE Add-in.

String Comparison
Compares two Strings, and if they are the same (Case Sensitive) then the trig will run. I used this in an RP I'm making. To save space, instead of making a trigger for each color, I made one trigger that ran if you said ban, but then checked to see the EXACT thing you typed by using this condition.

Tech-Type Comparison
Use it to check if two types of upgrades are the same (Learned Upgrade is the same as Moon Armor). The use for this is to do something when you learn a specific upgrade, like change tower builders. For example, if you upgrade to level two strength of the moon, then you get a level two tower builder. Simple.

Trigger Comparison
Compares two triggers to see if they are one in the same. Can't think of much of a real use for this.

Unit Comparison
This will check to see if two units are the exact same (triggering unit equal to Dragon 1234). The most popular Unit comparison is when a unit steps on a circle of power, check to see if it is the right one.

Unit-Type Comparison
Will see if two types of units are the same. For example, a unit enters a location. If (Unit type of Triggering Unit) is a Hippogrith, then let the trigger run.

And
Will let you use two conditions, and will be true if both of them are true. Use this in the IF action, there is no real need to do it in with the trigger's conditions.

Or
Will let you use two conditions, and will be true if either of them are true. Use this in both IF actions and trigger conditions, the Or condtion can both prove to be very useful.

[theJ89]

Actions
This is probably what everyone is after, so I'll cut to the chase. Actions are what HAVENT happened, and what WILL happen once you've gone through events and conditions. I will not include any examples since there are so many actions.

Need help with that "Red, Green, Blue" stuff? Here is what you should do: Open paint. Double click on a color. This will bring up the color list. Click on "Define Custom Colors". Choose the color you are looking for. There are three boxes labeled Red, Green, and Blue. Copy those numbers into the matching slot.

Do Nothing
Does nothing.

Comment
The comment is just a little text in the trigger you use to divide actions.

Wait
Does nothing for however long you specify, then moves on to the next action.

Wait for Sound
Will stop the trigger until a sound that is already playing is however many seconds away from stopping.

Set Variable
Will put whatever you want into a variable. This is the most important action in WC3!

Skip Remaining Actions
Stops the trigger without doing any more actions.

If/Then/Else
Use this to make a kind of "mini-trig". If the condition is True, then it will do the "Then" action. If it is False, it will do the "Else" action.

For Each Integer A, Do Action
Well, this is hard to explain. It will repeat an action, from (starting number) to (ending number). The idea of this is if you have a trigger that deals with numbers, "Integer A" will be that number, depending on which repeat you're on. The first repeat would be 1, if you are starting with 1, and the last one would be 10, if you are ending with 10.

For Each Integer B, Do Action
This is the same as above, except you are supposed to use it in the one above, if you have some kind of thing you need to do a lot.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am skipping AI, I cant give you an accurate description.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Animation - Play Unit Animation
Plays the animation you specify for a certain unit. To see what kind of animations a unit can do, go to World Edit, open up the Unit layer, and click on one you want. Right above the place where you see what the unit looks like there are buttons, and text that says "Stand". Click the buttons to browse through what kind of animations the unit has, and look at them inside World Edit!

Animation - Play Unit Animation (specify rarity)
The same as above, with the exception of being able to play common types of animation (such as stand 1 or stand 2) or rare animations (like stand 4 or stand 5)

Animation - Queue Unit Animation
Same as Animation - Play Unit Animation, but with a twist! It will do one animation after another this way!

Animation - Reset Unit Animation
Resets the units animation to the normal "stand" animation.

Animation - Add/Remove Unit Animation Tag
This will let you "transform" units into something else. You can turn a peasant into a gold carrying peasant by adding the "gold" animation tag to him, or a Demon Hunter into a Demon by adding the "alternate" animation tag to him.

Animation - Lock Body Part Facing
Use this to make a specific part of a unit (the head or the body) face another unit. Offset is How far right, How Far Down, and How High from the unit to look.

Animation - Reset Body-Part Facing
Will Undo the action above.

Animation - Change Unit Size
Change the size of a unit to ?% of its length, ?% of its width, and ?% of its Height. If all three numbers are the same, it will be the same shape as it normally is, except bigger or smaller. The % CAN go over 100.

Animation - Change Unit Vertex Coloring
Changes the tinting of the unit to % Red, % Green, and % Blue. The % Can not go over 100.

Animation - Change Unit Animation Speed
This will change how fast a unit does its animations, not how fast it moves or attacks.

Animation - Change Unit Turn Speed
This will change the time it takes for a unit to turn.

Animation - Change Unit Blend Time
This changes how fast a unit turns to face something.

Animation - Change Unit Flying Height
You can change how high Hovering Units or Flying Units Fly. Rate is the number of seconds it should take to do this - 0 is instant.

Animation - Change Unit Prop Window Angle
I have no idea what this does, I thought it was referring to the angle of the unit's portrait, but apperantly not.

Animation - Play Destructible Doodad Animation
Same as Animation - Play Unit Animation with the exception of being for doodads. Note that even some NON destructible doodads can play their animations.

Animation - Quere Destructible Doodad Animation
Same as Animation - Quere Unit Animation with the exception of being for doodads.

Animation - Play Animation for Doodads in Reigon
Will play the specified animation for all the doodads in a reigon, no matter what the type.

Animation - Play Animation for Doodads in Circle
Plays the animation for doodads in a circle with a radius of (whatever you specify, remember 100 is about the size of a peasant). The circle is centered at a point that you must give.

Camera - Apply Camera Object (Timed)
If you have camera objects on your map, this action changes the camera you are looking into now into that camera object over how ever many seconds you want. Remember, 0 is instant.

Camera - Pan Camera (Timed)
This is the WC3 equal to Starcraft's "Center Screen". It will change only the position of the camera, nothing else, over how many seconds.

Camera - Pan Camera With Interpolated Height (timed)
The same thing as above, except this can also move the camera upwards/downwards.

Camera - Pan Camera as Necessary (Timed)
The same as Camera - Pan Camera, but this will decide weather to go there instantly if the camera is too far away, or pan there if it is not. If the camera is already close enough, nothing will happen.

Camera - Set Camerea Field (Timed)
This action will let you set a specific aspect of your camera over how many seconds you wish.

Camera - Lock Camera Target to Unit
This action locks the position of the camera onto the unit, so whenever it moves, the camera moves. It will snap to the unit if the camera is anywhere else.

Camera - Lock Camera Orientation to Unit
This action will make the camera focus on the unit, but it will not move the camera itself. Will snap if the camera is aimed anywhere else.

Camera - Play cinematic camera
Loads a camera from the WC3 files, and will make your camera go through it.

Camera - Stop Camera
If the camera is doing anything other than nothing, it will stop it dead in its tracks. This will not freeze the camera, just stop it.

Camera - Reset Game Camera
This action will reset the camera back to what it usually is over how many seconds.

Camera - Change Camera Smoothing Factor
This will sometimes help if your camera is a little jerky while it is moving around.

Camera - Reset Camera Smoothing Factor
Resets Camera Smoothing Factor.

Camera - Sway Camera Source
Will make it look like the camera is swaying back and forth, like in an earthquake. Take a guess on magnitude and velocity.

Same as above, but in stead of swaying the camera, it will sway it's target instead.

Camera - Stop Swaying Camera

Will Extend / Shrink the distance the camera can go.

Camera - Set Camera Bounds
Sets the area the camera can go to a reigon.

Camera - Set Spacebar-Point
Sets a spot that the camera will snap to when the specified player presses space.

Cinematic - Transmission From Unit
Sends a transmission ( a special kind of messaging system used in cinematics when letterbox mode is on ) to A group of players from a specific unit. You can make a custom name for the unit that is transmitting, along with playing a sound and of course showing the message it is typing. If you add seconds, it will make your transmission longer, or set how long it is lasting if this is the only one playing. If you subtract them, it will reduce how long the transmission will last. Setting the time can sometimes undesired effects, I recommend against it. If you choose to wait, it will be the same thing as doing a Wait command. It will last the transmission length.

Cinematic - Transmission From Unit-Type
Same as above, with the added feature of the unit not having to be on the map. This will not add any units to the map. You must set what color the unit is by it's player. Also, make sure to set the area the unit would be if it were there, that is where the ping will be.

Cinematic - Cinematic Mode
As far as I can see, this turns letterbox mode, disables occlusion, boundry tinting, and player control on or off for the players given.

Cinematic - Fade Filter
A very useful effect. It will let you have your own fade in / out effect like in the movies. If fade out and back in is chosen, it will not let you choose how long your filter lasts, it will just undo it when in is finished. Use the action first with fade out, and the next fade filter with fade in. The first number determines how long it will take to fade in or out. The "texture" is what will be covering the screen. Color determines the tinting of the filter. Its in Red, Green, Blue format. 255 is as high as you can go with a color. Finally, Transparency helps too, it will let you determine how see-thru the filter is, with 100% being invisible. If I recall, there may only be one filter on at a time.

Cinematic - Fade Filter(advanced)
This can do the same thing as above, but is a little more complicated. I have yet to use this in a trigger, so I cannot give you an accurate description.

Cinematic - Show/Hide Filter
Will instantly show or hide the filter being used. Only one filter at a time can be used.

Cinematic - Ping Minimap
Does one of those green circular pings on the minimap where a point would be.

Cinematic - Flash Speech Indicator for Unit
Displays a circle (like the selection circles) under a unit for about 1 second. You can choose the color of it (Red, Green, Blue. 255 is the max for each color) and the transparency, with 100% being invisible. If the tinting of the unit changes, so does the indicator.

Cinematic - Flash Speech Indicator for Destructible
Same as above, but can be applied to destructibles only.

Cinematic - Flash Speech Indicator for Item
Same as above, but can be applied to items only.

Cinematic - Clear Text Messages
Removes all text messages, even chat, for the specified players.

Cinematic - Letterbox Mode On
Covers the bar at the top of the screen with a bar, and covers the main bar at the bottom with a space for transmissions and turns the minimap into a portrait box for transmissions. Will fade the bars out over the number of seconds you specify. Is applied to the players you choose.

Cinematic - Letterbox Mode Off
Undoes the action above.

Cinematic - Disable User Control

Cinematic - Enable/Disable Boundry Tinting
This will make that wierd black stuff surrounding your map disappear or appear for the players you choose. Note that your units cannot walk where the boundry is, though.

Countdown Timer - Start Timer
This will begin counting down from however many seconds you specify for whatever timer variable you use. If it is a One-Shot timer, it will only run once, and then stop at 0:00:00. A repeating timer, however, will keep counting down from where it started from once it reaches 0:00:00, and will keep doing that over and over again. Your timer will not appear in the game unless you make a window for it.

Countdown Timer - Pause Timer
This will stop the timer dead in it's tracks - or resume it from where it ended.

Countdown Timer - Create Timer Window
Makes a Window for a Timer Variable - From here you may pick a title for it.

Countdown Timer - Destroy Timer Window
Removes a Timer Window from the game. After this is done, a new one must be created if you wish to display that timer again.

This will either hide a timer window or show it. Use the action above this action to be rid of it permanently.

Countdown Timer - Change Timer Window Title
Change the title of a specific Timer Window.

Countdown Timer - Change Timer Window Title Color
You can change the color and transparency of the Title Window's Title this way. Colors are in Red, Green, Blue. The max is 255 for a single color. 100% transparent is invisible.

And a little note to avoid confusion:

The difference betwen Integers and Reals is that Integer can't hold decimal - Fractionary numbers


9 can be an integer or a real
0.9 Can only be a real

There are different places where you have to use integer example: Hero levels

Also you need to use reals when operating with life or mana.

Sometimes it is better to use integers cause they use less memory than reals.

[rwxr-xr-x]

Also the description on the valid range for integers is wrong. Integers are 32 bit signed, and gives you a range of -2147483648 to 2147483647.

P.S. Shouldn't this be in the Tutorials forum?

Dialogs: I am providing some extra info on dialogs to help you create your own.
Dialogs are variables. You will need a dialog variable to create a dialog. Also, keep in mind the game has no way of knowing who clicks a dialog button, so you will need to create a dialog variable for each player, and a dialog button variable for each button on each dialog. The easiest thing to do is to create a Dialog Array variable, and then make a Dialog Button Array for each button. (The numbers would be the Players' Numbers.)

Dialog - Show/Hide
This will make a window for the dialog variable (Show) or close it (Hide). You do not need to hide a dialog once a button has been clicked on it, this is automatic. Displays to a specific player. Do this action LAST.

Dialog - Change Title
You must do this to set the text that appears when your dialog is shown. For example, "Choose a Unit:" would appear at the top of the dialog if you changed the title to "Choose a Unit:". Do this SECOND.

Dialog - Create Dialog Button
This will actually make the buttons that users will click on. Keep in mind that you will need to assign variables to these or else the game will not be able to see if the one you clicked on is really the one that does a trigger. For example, (Clicked Dialog Button) equal to DialogButton_1.

Same thing as Dialog - Create Dialog Button, with the ADDED feature of being able to set a hotkey! UMSWE Add-In.

The Colors are in Red, Blue, Green. 255 is the max for each color.

Environment - Reset Fog
Removes custom fog (not the "weather effect", the environment effect)

String

Concatenate Strings
Takes two strings and puts them together.

Substring
Great. This is gonna be hard to explain... Think about a long peice of tape with writing on it. Lets say you took a pair of scissors and cut off the part you didn't want. The section you had left would be "subtape". Now, Replace tape with string, and you got it. The numbers tell the function where on the string to "cut off" the rest of it. The first number tells where to cut everything before it, and the second number tells it where to cut everything after it. For example: KoolersRevenge, 2, 5 is: oole since it cuts off everything before the second character, and everything after the fifth.

Wow, that's impressive. Just a few minor things:

Z-start is the height that the fog starts out in. Z-end is the height that the fog ends. Density is the opacity/thickness of the fog, with 100 being completly solid.

That's not quite right. Against all logic and common sense, z-start refers to the distance from the *camera* not the ground. To prove that this is right, try making z-start and z-end numbers like 100 and 110 respectively. You will create a layer of fog that *you* see through, not a layer of fog that hovers at 100-110 off the ground.

For the math functions:
Max - takes the maximum of two expressions or numbers
Min - takes the minimum of two expressions or numbers

Various trig functions - for your description, simply say "takes the [function] of a number" ("takes the sin of a number", "takes the arctangent of a number", etc). You'll be safe if you just leave it at that :)
