Better Triggers

As part of the reworked format all triggers, scripts, variables and categories are no longer saved with your map, but are now located in a project directory as individual files and folders.

*This change required the removal of comments in the 'trigger explorer' because the World Editor allows comments with identical names; something a filesystem does not.*

If you are already working on a Warcraft 3 map and wish to port your triggers to this editor, you can. When creating a new project you can choose convert an already existing map's triggers. The editor will scan your map for triggers, variables, scripts etc. and converts them to source files readable by this editor.

*The illustrated image shows a converted project of mine.

The editor automatically detects changes made to custom script files in your filesystem. This allows you to work directly in whatever text editor you want and removes the need to copy/paste from external source files into the editor.

The built-in script editor has basic syntax highlighting and autocomplete for both Jass and Lua.

The GUI has been re-imagined and has the look and feel of Starcraft II's GUI. One of the great things about this is you no longer need to click multiple times on parameter links to get to the bottom of the parameter tree. All parameters are now individually clickable.

The GUI supports local variables.

Local variables can only be used in actions, hence why they are placed beneath conditions.

Keep in mind that locals like unit groups and player groups are created every time the trigger runs, so those are very prone to leaks.

The GUI supports 2D arrays for global variables.

You can create custom UI with Frames in GUI.

You can convert a GUI trigger to custom script, but also convert it back to it's original GUI triggers if you regret it. Additionally, GUI to script conversion is also available for Lua mode.
