GUI Trigger Basics

GUI Basics

Some members on our clan are not very good with triggers or dont even know them so i decided to make a tutorial explaining what they are and how to use them.

Events

The first part of triggers are events , events start out the trigger. For example

Code:

Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds

When you use that event in your trigger it mean when 5 seconds has elapsed in the game it will call the actions. there are plenty more events you can use , you just need to use them appropriately.

Conditions

The second part of a trigger is its conditions. now you dont always need conditions but in order for the actions to start your conditions must be true. For example

Code:

(Player 1 (Red) slot status) Equal to Is playing

This condition is saying If player one is playing then it will do the actions. Just like events there are alot more conditions you can use.

Actions

Actions are the last part of a trigger , what they do is they make certain things happen . For example :

Code:

Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees

This action Creates 1 Footman For Player 1 At Center of The map , basicly what it says in the action .

The Full Trigger

Code:

Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
    Conditions
        (Player 1 (Red) slot status) Equal to Is playing
    Actions
        Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees

Basicly , this full trigger Waits 5 seconds in the game time and if player 1 ( Red ) Is playing it will create 1 footman for player 1 at center of playable map area

Nice simple and easy cool tut thanks for the add trigg.
