Add info trigger with weidu Options

[Armand]

Hello,

I'm a french modder and I trying to insert info trigger on a map with weidu. I know how to do with dltcep however I must create a new entry in the dialog.tlk and I don't want to do what.

Do you know any handling for that ? I despair to implement map triggers with Weidu commands...

Finally, I found an alternative solution thanks to yonaveth's tuto. Here :

COPY ~dq/areas/porthpentyrch/.~ ~override/.~
COPY ~dq/areas/porthpentyrch/ys1000/.~ ~override/.~
SAY 0x4054 ~A Coast Way marker post. It says 'West to Porthpentyrch; North to Athkatla; East to Trademeet'~

He also refer to offset and I think it will be enough for me. For the time, I content oneself with that. Thanks to have take on your time to explain me.

What you have will work IF the following conditions are met:
1) The ARE file is NEW. For this discussion new means:
a) never before seen area & map
b) pre-existing area & map that have been significantly modified and given a new custom name.
2) You've already inserted all other info trigger information with an appropriate GUI editor, if the trigger is new.
3) You've confirmed the direct offset number.

If you failed 2 & 3 you'll get errors, but they'll be fixable by making sure that everything is correctly set within the appropriate GUI editor.

If you failed 1 (you fail it by using a pre-existing area file with pre-existing name), you'll need to use something akin to what I posted earlier. Other mods prior to yours may change the same file and your direct offset will no longer point to the correct location.
