[WAD] Event Editor: Trigger Warning Blocking Exiting the Event Editor

Post by BDukes »

Hi All

Not sure if you've seen and addressed in the latest version, but if your event is missing a trigger, you get a warning (Awesome!), but you can't close the window or cancel out to do anything about it, as the warning keeps appearing, which blocks transition back. In this case, the event and action are created (might be something with that), and the action is added to the event. You need to restart CMO to overcome this issue.

Not the end of the world, but it's there.

Mmm if I understand you correctly, that is WAD in order to prevent to create an Event without a trigger. You should be able to close the warning and add a trigger to the event.

The warning is fine. It is just being able to close the event editor window. You'll notice that whatever method you use to close the event editor window, you'll get the trigger warning, which blocks you from getting out of the editor. When I have a moment, I'll make a video of it

Thanks!.

Yes, but before closing the window, you need to resolve the issue first. I'm not sure if just deleting the event would be a better option, but I'm sure someone would get angry if we delete an event

Yeah I think you're right. Thanks for looking into it.

My issue was I was creating the event, triggers, and actions in lua. If a trigger wasn't created for reasons, I'd run into the issue. For whatever reason I didn't realize I could just add a bogus trigger and move on...

Anyways, good enough for me. Thank you!
