I have gone over many areas of the forums here. i have also watched some of the videos detailing how to make a basic TD in this new editor. One of the main videos, actually Titled "making a Basic TD" while they seem helpful, just seems like they are not using the exact same editor as I am. So I will provide a small list of what I am looking for an hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. This would be very much appriciated. As a small note, I am the author of the little known "Steelgrid TD" in Warcraft 3. I have somewhat of an understanding of how to do what i need to, I am just lost in this new editor. So here goes.
-I am trying to make custom towers. Is there a simple Step by Step tutorial of how to make the tower, change the actor to what I want (not a custom artwork just something in game), and have it upgrade to other towers. I know this can be done just cannot figure it out.
-Same as above but for units. Also I have noticed in some TD that the sounds have been impoted from Warcraft 3, how would I do this?
-Multi-targetting. In "Steelgrid TD" I had made a tower that fired at 4 targets at once with missiles. Is there a way to do that in this?
I know this has probably all been asked before but the resourcses I have found are either still coonfusing or again, does not seem they are using the same editor as I am. it is only subtile changes but its enough to throw me off. If at all possible a text tutorial would be nice. Something readable that I could follow step by step until I learn the finer points of the editor. I thank you for your patience and for reading this. PLEASE HELP!!!!
I've heard that multi-targeting can be done by simply giving the unit more than one weapon. The tricky part I think is making each weapon attack a different unit.
Thank you kindly....I will review these and post if any further help is needed.
As far as the multi targeting, i am starting to think they made this editor just a tiny bit more difficult than it needed to be. I understand that this gives and incredible amount of freedom when it comes to the hardcore developing but for now i am just trying to get this TD to work. Warcraft 3 it was just a matter of setting the Max target amount and the missile to display. No programming needed.

First off, I found this video tutorial on youtube to be pretty straight forward and teaches you basics in making a TD in the new editor. []
Also, these should help for morphing units: [http://forums.sc2mapster.com/development/tutorials/1198-data-unit-upgrading-into-another-unit/] and [http://forums.sc2mapster.com/development/tutorials/490-data-making-larva-morph-into-new-zerg-units/]
Not sure about the sounds.
