Can I ask why you should never use the camera track fire event thing?

First of all NEVER check the run immediately box. It is completely pointless. Instead set the trigger to high priority, but use fire events to avoid lag.

WRONG. Checking means that it fires before the god powers, standard techs, etc. are loaded.

If you use 'Chat Contains' make sure it is on low priority

Online only.

If you are using camera tracks Never use the fire event box at the bottom of the track trigger. Instead insert a fire event in the same trigger.

Using the fire event inside the camera track makes it go smoother. But indeed, there are some problems.

Dont loop sound triggers. If you want a looping sound system then use the fire event box at the bottom of the sound filename effect. Using this you can safely loop triggers but if you add more effects, you are more likely to experience a sync error.

I never heard anything regarding sync error problems, if you are basing this on own experience, then leave it out.

Dont ever use more than 3 triggers with the same condition. You can use as many effects as you like without syncing the game.

This is possible, if you use fire event to fire one later. I also have more quite often, helps to order your effects beter, and it really gives me problems.

And link to the old Gaurdian_112 guide for the trigger lock.

For the rest, it's pretty cool

Also shouldn't you drum it into people to continusly save so they that can always revert . Also most (if not all) the problems listed are for Multiplayer. Are there any for offline play?

I will add this to the Designer Starter Kit.

Yeebaa, could you add these:

Generally Have Problems
Kill - Make sure all selected are of same player.
Armies - THEY ARE LIMITED BY 30! Even when the units have died, they still count! You must use the "Clear Units" button to reset it to 0, although the deployed units will add to counter.
Teleport Unit - Be sure the unit isn't moving already before using this effect. Ways to make sure the unit has stopped is to make it move to unit (itself). Or Change Unit Type./// Some objects may become invisible when teleported.


Out of Sync/Multiplayer Problems
Effects or Conditions that don't specify a player (Visible to Player)
Set Current HP (SNXT2) - Doesn't work.
Abort Cinematic - OOS
Animations - Don't work.
Chat Contains - Out of Sync for 4+ players.
Unit Create - Sometimes don't work. Use Army Deploy.
Move to Point/Unit - Don't work.
Units in LOS - Out of Sync for four players or more.
Maps with triggers go out of sync when you play with ppl who have a different language then you. GUARENTEED.
I've tested this with AOMPlayer000 who has a german game and I have a US game.
To know if they have a different language, tell them to type 1 and enter (taunt 1). If you don't hear anything, they don't have an english game.
The way to solve this is that he replaced his xpacklanguage.dll in his main AOM folder with a renamed english version of xpacklanguage.dll (probably downloaded the english patch and got the file from there).
Army Deploy - If there's some human players and some computers, this won't deploy for the computer(s).
Move Effects - Don't work on Nature.
Moving Units in MP - Use Move From Area

Oups, double post!

K, but

WRONG!

And also check the spelling...

Yeebaagooon, that quote is about RMS, not normal scenarios.

Ah, curses! It never said that :/

Dont use sound timer ever

uhm i didnt had any trouble with it?

Not in multiplayer. And its the effect.

[This message has been edited by Yeebaagooon (edited 07-07-2007 @ 09:35 AM).]

On multiplayer, the trigger that invokes a god power doesn't work. For example, creating a meteor shower every 200 seconds doesn't work.

Invoke God Power works.
The player casting it needs LOS of the area where the power is being cast, and needs the godpower.

So if move to unit doesn't work online, does army move to unit work?

If you are using camera tracks Never use the fire event box at the bottom of the track trigger.

What are the things that might go wrong here? I've never encountered problems with it (as far as I know ^_^), so I'm just a little curious

Ok. I think its because most triggers that use that fire event box have some code mucke dup. Im not sure why, it just happens. (It was the camera tracks and sound timers that kept syncing my first map)

I know a multi player problem. Its the one that involves making a choice? chat choice i think? a box appears on the screen, and you can choose on of the two boxes. If you use it on a multi player game, it asks the other player too, and that causes a sync error. This is what happpened to me, though, so it could just be me. Check it yourself.

I know the one you mean. Yes, that doesn't work!

cool

Nice, out of date and incorrect.

*sigh* There was some truth to this. I know from experience.
