How to install scripts

What is a script?
Script is a piece of code that performs some kind of alteration in the gameplay. It's useful when you want to create a non-meele map or a custom spell.

Downloading tools
The most of scripts nowadays are written in vJASS, an extension of Warcraft's programming language. The default World Editor that comes installed together with Warcraft doesn't support that extension.

So, in order to run it, you need to install a program called "Jass Newgen Pack". It's free and you can get it here: http://blizzardmodding.info/4263/the-jass-newgen-pack-jngp-2-0/ (You may need to desactivate your anti-virus and firewall first).

Unzip the downloaded file and search for a file called "NewGen WE". Start to use that file instead of the default World Editor.

Installing scripts
Once you have your map open on NewGen WE, go to Trigger Editor (F4).

Right-click on a existing category and select "New trigger".

Name it and go to Edit > Convert to Custom text.

Erase the existing code and copy/paste the script you want to install instead.
