Best if you wait for the full release then, because the map editor guide is going to be almost a pseudocodde programming template for you. You could construct a prototype based on just a few examples, but without the full set it would just be wasted work.

The trigger conditions all have different parameters and then you tack the event codes after them, with each event code having its own parameters. If you code a few examples, you would need to rethink the lot when you get the whole set. You'll get a better result from the complete list because you only need to think it through once, then do the whole shebang in one go.

Trust me, I've done enough documentation to be able to recognize that, seeing as how doing things on the fly necessitated a complete restructuring of the game manual once and lesser restructuring modifications at least twice, the last of which was last night. Retrofitting massive structural changes into a complete document (or in your case, program code) is a massive pain the backside.
