Triggers script testing

Hi,

I am doing my first steps in trigger edition for a campaign, some of them are set to high number turn(e.g. 20), what is the easiest way to test those triggers without waiting for those turns? setting at 1 turn, test and if ok up to 20? setting trigger in scenario and play hotseat to end turn quickly?

thanks!

Hi Japoivvb,
If you are writting about triggers that take place during the course of the scenario, I usually set them to turn like 2 or 3. I may be wrong but I think that if the game understands what I want it to understand with a "2" or "3" I assume it will understand as well with a "20" or anything like that. I think the game doesn't care about what is actually written in the time trigger, it just checks for a certain number whichever it is.
I hope I answered your question. :D
Greetings

I don’t think there is a way to get to turn 20 other than hot-seating through the turns. You’re probably already using a test scenario? Just a smallish map with few features on which to you test script ideas. Also sometimes worth saving some test scenarios to have a working example of what you want some particular script to do. I also write down script ideas along with my own how-to notes. This saves me having to rediscover how to do various things. I save numerous versions of the scenario I’m working on so that it’s possible to go back before a dreadful mistake that seemed like a good idea at the time. I’m working on a scenario at the moment and it's on version 11.
