importing spells from test maps

It seems that when I try to do this I get bugs. Some go in easy and some do not.

Is there an easy way to take a test map and import the triggers/objects/etc into a main map or do you have to copy each thing one at a time?

Thanks,

If you haven't customized objects, untits, triggers than there's an easy way
go on Export trigger, object, etc. settings ( I think it was in data) and save them.
In your map you can import the settings in the same way

Thanks Koala

but what if there are custom objects, triggers, functions, etc. I *think* I have looked everywhere and can only find 1 place to export and that is under File > Export Scripts, Export Minimap, Export Strings. I dont see where I can export things like custom objects, triggers, etc.

Also, while trying to export those three things, then going to a dummy map and trying to import them, I see no changes in the new map.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks Raven

I had read that but didnt know if there was another way. When I try to copy/paste all of the elements I then come up with bugs. I try to first copy all of the objects such as items or units, etc. Then I copy all variables. Finally I copy triggers. Still seems to bug out on me more often than not.

References to spells, units, and buffs are often reset when importing spells. Make sure that you fixed all of these.
