I recently tried getting used to the trigger editor, but its hell frustrating considering it wont let you edit values directly.
I learned to program in my spare time but eventually wanted to make SCII maps.
I attempted to make a variable decrement but it was really frustrating, how much was it to say "A = A - 1"?
I don't want to look a huge list every single time I change something, I'd rather have a reference text near me and manually find it and be able to enter it directly than for the editor to open up a f** list for me whenever I want to change something fast. Eventually I will know which thing I will ever NEED and I'd like to be able to just type it in than to search a laggy as hell list.
Try use custom script instead (Shift+Control+T). A = A - 1 is done by typing the following:
intA=1;A-=1;
Way easier than having to click a million times to create the variable, then click a few million more times to find the math operators and stuff to perform the operation.
No crappy lists required. But you'll need to refer to the wiki a lot for documentation on the functions available to you. Once you get the hang of it, I promise you it's much less time consuming than having to click those GUI trigger lists.
If you have at least some basic in programming, you will probably find custom script much more seamless. Let me know if you need a demo hello world script. Think I have one lying around.
You don't have to use triggers if you don't want. I totally understand where you're coming from- it can be quite laggy on some people's computers.
If you're familiar with C# or C++, Galaxy is very similar. You can use custom script in your triggers, or you can directly edit the galaxy file (though I wouldn't recommend that second method).

@FuzzYD: Go -snipped- my post for ignorance and not reading the (Shift Control T) part
@fatOverlord: Go
Oops, Made a mistake, I just checked, the shortcut is actually Ctrl+Alt+T when you have the trigger editor open
