Hi, well I'm using SCMdraft 2 for my Plant Trees 3 map. This is probably really simple but how do you rename switches just to make my life alittle easier.

As far as I can tell when you say set switch or something like that you can't rename it there and I haven't been able to find a menu or something that lets you.

I'm not very familiar with SCMDraft, but I usually just use notepad to keep track of my switches.

Ya, thats what I've been doing but it'd be alittle easier if they were just labeled.

I've read the FAQ and this and I still don't understand where to input the Switch Renaming code that goes in TrigEdit.

Edit: After a day of messing around I finally figured out the format and placement. However, now everytime I try to add another switch in the switch's tab, it only keeps the latest one I've added after compiling how do I add them in so it keeps every new renamed switch??

Silly me, triggers are for kids. I just learned how to save my triggers on SCMDraft. Stupid me. I lost a few triggers because of that one.

Okay, this is what it's doing to me right now:

I input this into the Switches Tab:

CODE

Switch0 "Blah1"
Switch1 "Blah2"
Switch2 "Blah3"

Then I hit compile and it says done. I close TrigEdit and reopen it and this is all that remains under my Switches Tab:

CODE

0 "Blah3"

It only saves the last switch as 0
How do I keep all the switches?

to write a switch's name in Trigedit is:

# Open Trigger editor.
# Switch to the "Switches" tab.
# Use the following syntax:
-0[TAB]"<SWITCH NAME>"
-1[TAB]"<SWITCH NAME>"
- ETC.

I tried that method, still does that same thing too... it only saves the last code in the list of renamed switches as

CODE

0 "<Whatever Last Switch Name Entered Was>"

All the other previous switches are that were input were removed

If I try to add an additional switch to that 1 switch rename saved, it removes the old one and keeps only the last one entered.

You can do that or you can just hire someone with a good memory to keep track of what your switches mean

Is it possible to have a renamed switch that is too long? In which case, it gives an error?
