New in v3.9 (Sept. 29 2009)

- Note box to keep notes for your obstacle.
- Larger grid area (program size is now 1024x768)
Features To Come
- Draw a line with numbered dots thru your locations so you know the path that the ling should take.
- Undo / redo (possibly if it's not too hard to implement)
- Slide bar to slow down/speed up ALL waits at once.
- Trigger support for large obstacles (multiple switches for >64 actions)
- Room for more that 21 waits.
- Save trigger to .trg file.

HOW TO USE
1) Create locations on the grid with Ctrl + left click.
2) Arrange them how they will be in your actual map.
3) Edit the location names from the Actions tab to your liking.
4) Add waits with the green + button in the top left. Now when you click a location, it toggles it to explode for the selected wait.
5) Select a different wait and toggle explosions again, and repeat for all the waits you have. Edit wait times (in milliseconds).
6) Click animate and there you have it!
Of course, there's much more you can do!
Actions Tab
- NOTE: LAYOUT AND NAME YOUR LOCATIONS AS THEY ARE IN YOUR ACTUAL MAP! OR THIS TRIGGER WILL PROBABLY BREAK WHEN YOU IMPORT IT
- Here you can customize the trigger. Location names, explosions, etc.
- Select which editor you will import the trigger into (SCM Draft / Starforge)
- (in SCM Draft, you need to use the 'Trigger Editor' NOT 'Classic Map Triggers' and make sure you click the black check mark and NOT File>Save. File>Save does not work for some reason.)
Settings Tab
- Just some program settings you can mess around with. Not much important here.
Save/Load
- Save and load your projects! Nice!
- 15 slots are available. You can save over or delete slots if you're running out of room.
- Make sure you allow Flash to store cookie data by clicking the Flash Settings button, or Right Click>Settings...
Help Tab
- Well I guess I didn't need to write all this since this is here!
Debug Tab
- There are 2 main arrays that store all the obstacle data: obs[] and locs[]
- The top half tells you what locations explode when,
- The bottom half tells you location position, size and name.
- This will probably be useful if you've found a bug and need to tell me about it.
