This is just an idea, but maybe it would be helpful to have an area (under tutorials or the downloads) where we only post maps with commonly needed routines for people to copy from. Kinda of like an object library. The downloads thread serves this purpose, but it can be a bit disorganized and hard to seprate the wheat from the chaff - I feel we need a thread or download site that is locked so that only the mods can add content after testing the map.
I envision a map named "dialog template" with a trigger named "copy this for dialog box" and a dialog box with choices like "enter text for button one here" and sufficent comments that explain the entire process in the map. That way, for these routine questions, we should be able to simply refer to the map for download.
Of course, people have to be able to download the map, read the comments and triggers, and modify the triggers to fit their map; but let's face it, if they don't have the ability to do at least that much, they are not going to get very far on the map in any event.
I'll try and throw together an example this weekend to see if it works. What do others think?
