Zugg Software :: View topic - Really annoying Issue with the Trigger Editor

Wizard Joined: 17 Jun 2006 Posts: 1201

Okay ever since the changes were made to the Editor adding the wizard I can't stand it. I have to constantly click on Script Text tab. However, I know you want us to test this so I will deal with it I guess.

My main problem though is I can't see the pattern because it only shows the end of the trigger pattern instead of the beginning and the whole thing.

For instance, if you click on a trigger in the tree view it will only show the end of the trigger pattern in the Pattern textbox. If I make the following trigger...

If you put your cursor in the Pattern field you should be able to use the Home key to get to the start of the pattern, and the End key to get to the end of it.

If you need to view the whole pattern, there should be a drop-down arrow just to the right of the pattern field you can click that will display a multi-line window allowing you to see & work with the whole pattern.

At least, there is from 3.17 on (maybe earlier).

It's a trade-off for squeezing more on to the screen for Wizard purposes, I guess.

You do know you can turn off the wizard, right? Just go to View -> Use Script Wizard...

Why would I want to waste time click on Home and End and all these other keys? Razz

Yes I know you can click the drop down.

OldGuy2, I'm not really sure what you are asking for. Obviously if the pattern is too long for the text box then it's not going to be able to display the entire pattern. CMUD and zMUD have never shown the entire pattern. You have always needed to click the drop down or uses Home/End to view the pattern. Pressing down-arrow also displays the whole pattern. There is no way to display the "whole thing" in the Pattern box and there never has been.

And as people have mentioned, you can already easily turn off the Wizard and 3.22 even makes this easier via the Hide Wizard checkbox on the Wizard screen itself.

Well it is obviously not a bug. I'm just saying even on triggers that should fit completely in the pattern box it only shows the end of the trigger. I guess it isn't really a big deal honestly. It's just that when I have 20 inches of box and only 5 inches of the end of the trigger pattern will display is what I am getting at.

I think it's only a problem when you resize the window. After resizing the window, click on the trigger again and it will display as much as it can fit in the box. Are you saying that it should display the *beginning* of the trigger instead of the *end* of the trigger?

I can't do anything about the resize issue...that's a Windows issue (Windows doesn't re-scroll the text field when it is resized, it just makes the right side bigger).

Yeah it's probably just a resize issue. Never mind then.
