I started a map recently and while they layouts easy Im having problems with somethings.
I can edit units and copy them, Ive already made a bunker and a command bunker, the CB has health regen and cargo space so I know how to do a few things.
How ever Im kind of stuck on editing unit properties them self. Ive been trying to make it so all I need is what ever structure a unit pops out of is all he needs to be created. IE the reaper needs just a barracks, not the tech lab, and also adding different units to the same building, seige tanks made from the barracks. I can get the icon to show up, I can add the unit icon, I can add an ability, and I can add that theres either no requirements or to have a barracks, but it still insist on having a tech lab to make units.
Ive also been trying to add a turret to the command bunker that I made but nothings working. I read a tutorial on how to do it but I cant even seem to find out where to start in the editor itself unless for what ever reason I cant add effects to the unit.
I havent even done any of the enemy triggers yet, the upgrades, or the hero's either and I feel overwhelmed >.< Ive read and watch some of the tutorials but Im still a bit frustrated.
That is very typical feeling when you start to do something new :) I hope you don't get desperated with editor because it is great feeling when you learn to do things. I recommend you to post your map problems into data or trigger section of forum. And when you post things be very specific with problem details so people can help you better. Screenshots are awesome always. Anyway happy map making! :)
Well I think that 90% of us here are in the same boat, and the other 10% are making tutorials... so just remember, this is all for fun. Just try to learn one new thing everyday and don't overload yourself.
