Recently I noticed a few people were having trouble installing triggers from the code that was posted.
So I decided to make a guide with screenshots to show step by step on how to do it.

Let's start with a trigger code.
nottud's Transform trigger.

Next Highlight the trigger code.

and press Ctrl C to copy the code, or right click copy.

Then go to C: Program Files/Microsoft Games/Age of Mythology/trigger2

Now you have two options.
The first one is to edit an existing trigger file to include the trigger.

Right Click, open with, notepad.

You should have something that looks like this.

Scroll down to the bottom, and paste with Ctrl V or right click paste, between the <effects></effects> tags.

Next you save it.

Done.


The other way is to create a new trigger file.
Right click, new, textdocument.
[JPEG, (362.89 KB)]

Then name it, and open it.
Then you need to basic code.<?xml version = "1.0"?>
<trigger version="2">



<Conditions>
<Condition name="$$22289$$Always">
<Expression>true</Expression>
</Condition>
</Conditions>

<Effects>
<Effect name="$$22355$$SetIdleProcessing">
<Param name="IdleProc" dispName="$$22356$$Process Idle:" varType="bool">true</Param>
<Command>trSetUnitIdleProcessing(%IdleProc%);</Command>
</Effect>
</Effects>
</trigger>[JPEG, (150.20 KB)]


Then save it. Remember to have .xml after the name.
[JPEG, (306.58 KB)]

Done.


When pasting a trigger in the file, it should go between the <conditions></conditions>
if it is a condition.
And <effects></effects>
if it is an effect.

If you downloaded a .XML or a .XMB file it should be placed in C: Program Files/Microsoft Games/Age of Mythology/trigger2

If you have any questions and/or suggestions, feel free to post them here.
