In this thread I'll suggest things that would be cool for triggering storyboarded effects:

Specific combo counts
Comboburst event in general
Breaking combo

Hitting a circle in a certain quadrant of the screen (with quadrants either pre-set or specified with coordinates)

Dropping into the "failing" half of the life bar
Dropping into the "danger" section of the life bar
"Bumping" the 100% point on the lifebar
Failing the map

The latter two can be implemented using the former.

I only see this being useful for Hard Rock. Can you give applications?

I like the rest.

I didn't think of it, but you're right that setting a 0 combo event could work for combobreak, but then it would also trigger at the start of a map... and it wouldn't be limited to "only when a combo over 20 breaks" like the combobreak sound effect is. And I suggested a "comboburst in general" trigger because if the map has a very high max combo it wouldn't be much fun or very efficient to copy and paste the code for each comboburst count.

Trigger loops like this would only trigger if and when the player hits the beat, so if they miss, no trigger. If they hit late, it triggers late. And again, it'd substantially decrease the repetitiveness of the code versus doing it out manually.

if(oldCombo >= 20 && newCombo == 0) {
    // Hai I b0rked my kombo D=
}
I guess two commands would work better, because newCombo == oldCombo + 1 for all cases except where you break your combo.

Aren't there #define's for storyboards or something? Make something like
#define COMBO_BURST 20,40,80,9001
or whatever numbers combos burst at.

Regions, perhaps? Quadrants sounds kinda bleh.

How about a trigger loop for a specified hitcircle, firing only if and when hit?

Would be another way to solve JJF's Divas hitsounds problem. :D

Yeah, I guess what I meant was to have the option to use the four quadrants as "default" regions for quick coding, or the option to specify whatever coordinates you want for top-left and bottom-right of a custom region.

You could do that with my idea by specifying a region, and then having the trigger loop only apply for a very short duration. Wouldn't be very efficient, though.
Actually, you could do it with the current system, again by specifying a small bit of time and using a hitsound trigger. But I don't think you can use trigger loops to play sounds currently anyway, so it's kind of a moot point.

I like the hitcircle idea. There be a trigger loop for a list of given points in ms, too.

This is a very good list. :)

It would be more efficient to assign a unique reference to each hitcircle in a map and fire the trigger based on a specific object being hit than using this quadrant system at all.

Attaching events to the hit objects themselves encompasses all behaviour you'd get from this quadrant system, only being both more convenient and more efficient, and we all know how much peppy likes his efficiency. :)

Also, this wouldn't just be for hitsounds, though that would be a part of it. Remember awp's Tribute? How there's an explosion on the last hitcircle? Would be cooler if it only happened if (and when) you actually *hit* the note.

And SFX for trigger loops is a must.

O: but have no clue in how to do this so yeah XD

fyi, technically you can already do "regional" triggers using time as a basis.

Requesting the following triggers:

for all >, also allow <

if (HP > x) where 0<x<1 (note: x can't logically be 0 or 1 for SB script execution so don't call me on that)
if (COMBO > x) where 0<=x<=99999 or whatever

oops I left this window open for an hour and change

Bumping and support, especially for adding a Comboburst trigger (disabling the default comboburst and SB'ing your own would be nice) and Combobreak one.

Also useful would be adding the trigger "Hit," which triggers when you hit a note, which would be better than HitSoundClap and silenced claps sometimes for Taiko mode, especially if you want something to happen on every hit note (stars twinkling in the sky?)

"Miss" would be nice, too, as well as "HitSoundSlidertick" and "Hit300", "Hit100", and "Hit50".

Support, More triggers would be awesome. I like Dusty's ideas a lot too.
