Well, I just started out messing with the map editor and am trying to make my own hero team defense game. I know my issues probably are really retarded and nooby but if you could help me out and tell me how I may be able to fix these problems, it would be greatly appreciated.
First off, how in the world do I make a unit or bulding invulnerable? I can't seem to find anythin to make something Invulnerable. Knowing me I'm probably retarded and just missing it.
Second, What are some suggestions for scoreboards/timers? I've never made one before. Not really sure how to make one.
Third, Are there any good threads out there about making a unit in SC2 able to be leveled up and givin ability points per level?
Probably nub questions, but like I said, if you could help I'd really appreciate it. Thanks. =)
Any links to solutions to my problems would also make me love you long time. =D
1. Invulnerability can be giving in 2 ways. It can be given for a unit in the Data Module and by triggers. In the Data Module, search for the unit and double click it. Then go to the unit tab on the right and there is a bunch of flags you can apply to a unit. Scroll down and there is one for invulnerability. Tick this and all units of that type will be invulnerable. The second way using triggers is useful if you want to make a unit invulnerable and then vulnerable at different points in the game. Use the MakeUnitInvulnerable in the Action part of the trigger and just select the relevant unit to make invulnerable or vulnerable depending on what you want.
2. To be honest this is really up for you to decide. Think of each thing you could possibly want to show on the leaderboard, ie. Name, Kills, Lvl, Score etc. Then mess about in the triggers using the Leaderboard actions, they are quite easy to use after a while, but just mess out with them.
Create Leaderboard
Fill in Headers
Add Players
Fill in Player Text
Colour and Size Information
I am not aware of any good leaderboard tutorials, and I had to just mess about with and test the leaderboard function to learn them myself, if you are still having a problem with it, ill post up some of my leaderboard code so you can have a look and see how it works.
3. There are quite a few tutorials in the tutorials section about Heroes and leveling up. These can be found Here. Scroll down to almost the bottom and find the subheading Heroes and there are a nice set of videos and tutorials on how to do this. Use that tutorials page for other tutorials and information you need to know, but if there is anything else that I might be able to help you on, just let me know and I'll try my best to assist.
