| 00:08.32 | ThunderLord | Does anyone know what i would do if i have a shop, and at the shop it sells one of those "mineral crystal" things that gives minerals when you pick them up to a hero, I set everything up but i need the mineral packet to drop directly on the hero when he purchases instead of next to the shop |
| 00:14.56 | Vailreth | the train ability places items into a heros inventory |
| 00:15.55 | ThunderLord | yeah but this item does not go in to an inventory |
| 00:16.01 | ThunderLord | it is a pickup item |
| 00:16.07 | ThunderLord | jsut uses it when you walk on to it |

| 00:49.23 | A1win | but the map still ran, just very laggy |
| 00:49.55 | A1win | so there's no hard limit that would cap performance limit on most machines |
| 00:54.17 | Kueken | unit count is hard capped at 16.384 |
| 00:54.54 | Kueken | with invisible models, a map can actually sort of support them |

| 00:55.37 | Vailreth | why use invisable units anyway? |
| 00:55.45 | Deaod | 16384 per player? |

| 13:10.41 | A1win | mmh... I'm creating reaper weapon damage effect with a trigger, but it's always coming out of the same weapon, any way to fix that? |
| 13:12.41 | A1win | oh, I should probably be using the create persistent effect instead of the damage one |
| 13:14.55 | A1win | mmh that didn't work either |
| 13:15.58 | A1win | the persistent that has 2 periods only does the first period X.x |
| 13:16.12 | A1win | I guess it doesn't work properly by calling it with triggers... |
| 13:20.56 | A1win | seems I need to edit the attack actor |
| 13:29.30 | A1win | uh... can't get it to shoot with the left weapon even by changing the attachment methods |
| 13:35.12 | A1win | maybe I should create an ability instead of just calling the effect |
| 13:44.29 | A1win | uff... creating an ability didn't help either, still only shows muzzle flash from the right weapon |

| 16:30.30 | Vailreth | hey Dryeyece |
| 16:35.06 | Kueken | hey |
| 16:35.43 | Kueken | did Blizzard implement a way to add new text entries yet? |
| 16:36.04 | Vailreth | what do you mean by new text entries? |
| 16:36.29 | Kueken | like |
| 16:36.37 | Kueken | if you add a new data object |
| 16:36.47 | Kueken | some new text entries are created |
| 16:36.54 | Kueken | with certain text links |
| 16:37.00 | Kueken | you can modify |
| 16:37.09 | JademusSreg | You can also manually add text entries. |
| 16:37.10 | Kueken | same if you use text in triggers |
| 16:37.16 | Kueken | how? |
| 16:37.26 | Kueken | i the editor? |
| 16:37.30 | JademusSreg | By editing the text strings file in the map mpq. |
| 16:37.30 | Kueken | *in |
| 16:37.34 | Kueken | ye |
| 16:37.50 | Kueken | I meant within the editor |
| 16:38.04 | Kueken | didnt find anything yet |
| 16:38.05 | Vailreth | do you have a specfic example? |
| 16:38.17 | Kueken | I want to have a new text |
| 16:38.20 | Kueken | lets say |
| 16:38.32 | Kueken | link "MyText" |
| 16:38.39 | Kueken | content "This is my Text" |
| 16:39.01 | Vailreth | where do you want this text? |
| 16:39.04 | Kueken | so I can access it via StringExternal function |
| 16:39.07 | Kueken | in the map |
| 16:39.10 | Kueken | ;) |
| 16:39.28 | Vailreth | so you just want a text string to display some where ? |
| 16:39.58 | Kueken | I want to be able to use this specific stored text in my script, using the StringExternal function |
| 16:40.48 | Kueken | I know, I can do this by adding dummy data objects, or by modifying the GameStrings.txt file externally |
| 16:41.40 | Kueken | I just want to know, if there is any way to just add a text to the editor without having to use external tools and MPQ editing and without creating additional dummy objects |
| 16:41.50 | Kueken | but seems like there isn't |
| 16:42.19 | Vailreth | there doesnt seem to be |
| 16:43.03 | Kueken | too bad |
| 16:43.17 | Kueken | seems I need to poke Blizzard |
| 16:46.05 | Kueken | JademusSreg: do you know, if some of those text files get overwritten? |
| 16:46.18 | *** join/#sc2mapster RazielZ (~Raziel@78.97.99.188) |
| 16:46.25 | JademusSreg | Clarify? |
| 16:46.43 | Kueken | like, if I use TriggerStrings.txt, will it be re-created as soon as I modify triggers? |
| 16:46.49 | Kueken | deleting my custom entries? |
| 16:47.21 | JademusSreg | Dunno. I add custom strings to the GameStrings file. |
| 16:47.39 | Kueken | and it never got deleted? |
| 16:48.03 | JademusSreg | Nope. |
| 16:48.06 | Kueken | thats enough for me then :) |
| 16:48.57 | JademusSreg | I figure since there's no metadata for the string files, you can add them indescriminately. |
| 16:50.01 | JademusSreg | If there was a file for string metadata, then you'd need to worry about the string files being overwritten as a consequence of them being generated. |
| 16:50.02 | Kueken | I had some issues with lost text before, though :/ |
| 16:51.41 | JademusSreg | Well, the way the editor probably handles it is if you delete an object, it checks the strings it references, and if there's nothing else referencing the string, it deletes the string. Or something like that, purely speculation. |
| 16:52.18 | Kueken | it doesn't check trigger references, when deleting a data object, though, tried that before |
| 16:52.38 | Kueken | unless it got patched |
| 16:53.38 | Kueken | also, I am not sure, what happens, if you delete a trigger reference |
| 16:53.54 | Kueken | if you remove a script reference, I am pretty sure, it won't remove the text |
| 16:54.12 | Kueken | but I don't know, if a trigger handles this automatically |
| 17:05.16 | Ashamed | :) just got my first expandable UI done |

| 19:48.52 | Guest72230 | but there no way to see what functions they call? |
| 19:48.56 | numbduts | And those functions call other functions, and those call other functions :p |
| 19:48.59 | numbduts | nah there's no call stack |
| 19:49.06 | Vailreth | as in its default permanent facing, or making a stationary actor rotate? |
| 19:49.07 | numbduts | galaxy is very basic |
| 19:49.25 | numbduts | making the actor rotate is no problem, but logically the unit is still facing another direction |
| 19:49.27 | JademusSreg | Haha. |
| 19:49.34 | Guest72230 | I'm finding a lot of functions in the galaxy files, that are never called. |
