the trigger in text is called JASS
the trigger with events, conditions, actions is GUI where have symbols for all functions.

You can only convert triggers in "text", not "text" in triggers, cause with JASS you can do more, better things which can't be displayed with GUI.

Examples:

[blinking]

GUI:

[/blinking]


[blinking]

GUI: TEXT

[/blinking]

Reveal Map
Events
Map initialization
Conditions
Actions
Visibility - Disable fog of war
Visibility - Disable black mask

This Text version is basically just a Copy and Paste to a forum board type of thing.

JASS:

[/blinking]

function Trig_Reveal_Map_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
call FogEnableOff( )
call FogMaskEnableOff( )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Reveal_Map takes nothing returns nothing
set gg_trg_Reveal_Map = CreateTrigger( )
call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Reveal_Map, function Trig_Reveal_Map_Actions )
endfunction


These are all the same triggers, just in different format.

Can i convert GUI:TEXT to GUI?

Or i have to understand GUI:TEXT to slowly convert it to GUI.

You kinda have to understand GUI to convert GUI Text to Gui triggers itself. Its not hard, just try and search for what matches.

I see lots of post written they need around months or a year to restore the triggers of an unprotected map, what does it mean?

[Bartimaeus]

That's called exaggeration.

But with the maps most people request, it's probably not far off.

Converting all the triggers in EotA, for example, would take massive amounts of time.
