So, I was taking a look at the trigger system, but after searching around the forums and whatnot, I didn't see documentation on it.  Has anyone actually figured out how to get this to work?  It seems like it has a great deal of potential, but I'm not really understanding it.

I thought triggers could only be used in the tutorials, which are locked for editing.

The triggers he is talking about are the ones added in the new map format. Or at least there's a space for them in the new map format. I don't think they actually exist, those spaces are placeholders for a feature they probably had to drop.

The tutorials do not use these types of triggers, if you check their maps they don't have any triggers either.

my guess for the triggers is that it is a feature that is wanted for either sins 2 OR the next expansion(but there has been no hints that I have seen to suggest that there will be a fourth expansion) so they are testing the means of doing it.

If they dropped triggers, I'm going to be very annoyed.

annoyed is hardly the word.  this would be like StarClad announcing they were dropping Titans.  The whole trigger system was one of the big features players were hoping to get hold of. 

Yet another over hyped feature -at least it is dead instead of complete crap.
