perpetual_n00b has suggested we should only have one thread since some people (Xzyiothe) are complaining about CASTWCRT. Everyone so far thinks this thread is the one to live. Agree? Disagree?

Is it possible to put the trigger conditions and effects into a table? Otherwise we might end up with a very long first post.

Something sort of like this but with better formatting

It's fine how it is looks wise, I was more just concerned about the length.

There's six of us now and let's say we average 10 trigger effects each then that's a long post if we list them all, but if we put it in a table it's much shorter.

The table I put in needs a bit of work on the formatting like the alignment and stuff but it should give a rough idea about the difference in length.

Wow, that weather trigger i wanna make is hellishly confusing, Hail. I think ill try to start with something else a bit simpler first. Then Ill get my way up and try the weather triggs i wanna do.

@ WinstonShnozwick
An all in one storm trigger does sound a bit complicated. Maybe try working with smaller elements that can be used in a storm. I've just made a Lightning Strike effect that flashes and shakes the screen while playing a sound (by default lightningstrike4.wav). If you combine this with QV Timer (which I also just made) and Quest Var Randomise then you can get a lightning storm effect.

Here's the trigger set up, the new condition QV Timer and the new effect Lightning Strike. Feel free to play around with it and build on it for your storm triggers.

Trigger 1 - Random_Interval
[X] Active
[_] Loop
[_] Run Immediately

Conditions
Always

Effects
Quest Var Randomise
Var Name = Timer
Min Value = 1
Max Value = 5
Rounding = ON
Fire Event
Trigger = Lightning

Trigger 2 - Lightning
[_] Active
[_] Loop
[_] Run Immediately

Conditions
QV Timer
Var Name (Seconds) = Timer

Effects
Lightning Strike
Sound = lightningstrike4.wav
Trigger = Random_Interval

   <Condition name="QV Timer">
      <Param name="QVName" dispName="Var Name (Seconds)" VarType="string">QV1</Param>
      <Expression>(trTime()-cActivationTime) >= 1*trQuestVarGet("%QVName%")</Expression>
   </Condition>

<Effect name="Lightning Strike">
<Param name="Sound" dispName="Sound" varType="sound">lightningstrike4.wav</Param>
<Param name="EventID" dispName="Trigger" varType="event">-1</Param>
<Command>trCameraShake(1, 0.25);</Command>
<Command>trUIFadeToColor(255,255,255,500,0,True);</Command>
<Command>trUIFadeToColor(255,255,255,500,500,False);</Command>
<Command>trSoundPlayFN("%Sound%", %EventID%, " : ", "");</Command>
</Effect>

Ok then, let me get this strait. For the secret messages effects and condition, is it completely safe from anyone seeing them? cause if its in the scenarios data, and i am the only oe with the custom coding in the trigger, then will it be completely safe from anyone seeing my passwords in a map?

If so, then you have saved my life, this is exactly what i wanted.

@ Guard of Osiris, to save you having to update the main post every time I add a trigger condition or effect you could just put a link to this post and I can update this post with my new stuff. You can just copy the link below and put it in the main post below the table (I've displayed it as code so you don't have to view the source of this post to get it)

@ WinstonShnozwick
If your stuck with what to make, just look at any condition or effect that takes a number as a parameter and make a QV version of it.

Perpetual: QV Timer and QV Timer ms already exist... Please see at the your list of triggers before start triggering, because it's useless work and if we made a trigger pack with effect equal to other triggers but with a different name, then people will have 2 triggers that do the same thing...

There's too many trigger packs to go through to see if something already exists before I make it. If there was simply a list I could look at then that would be fine, but having to open up all the xml files and search them is annoying.

It's not a complete waste of time to make them ourselves, it's good practice. If we then find they already exist then we just don't include them in the trigger pack.
