aja_anubis has informed me that the triggers crashed while he was making some pretty cool trigger things for the project. I have a backup file, but aja has made some cool progress and I do not want it to go to waste. Anyone know what's going on?

Well, could you give us some specifics? Something like this happened to me, I was making a cinematic and all of a sudden it didnt work. The trigger clearly said Cinematic Mode runs immediately, but it didnt. ??? Fortunately, I had a backup copy, so all is not lost.

I got something like this in my campaign. Delete any triggers you have madeafter the last time it worked, then try again, testing each trigger as you add it.

This will happen if text has things like /*'"\|]{[})(*&^%$ things like that.

That's odd, CaveTown. I didn't know there were so many symbols that were not allowed. I'll look at it.

You cant use these {}? What about the tag {playername(number of player)}

Yes, but they display as text in-game. Symbols that will be diplayed are not useable.
i will only complicate you - trust in me and fall as well

If you ask me, they sometimes crash for no apparent reason.
