Hello, I wanted to create my TD map but I realised Im not so good in the editor to make it real. I already got the terrain
but I dont know how to finish the map so I will leave here screenshot and description of my TD map and I'd appreciate
either some advices how to finish map or someone who would like to finish it himself. In that case I would send him what I got so far.
And brief map description:
It's 2v2 or 1v1 Tower Defense map. The main goal is to destroy enemy's base. Every player can choose on the star wheather he wants to be defender or attacker. All players can build defensive towers near path and economic/military buildings near their main base on the top. The idea is that every round wave of mobs will be send from the south end of paths. They will proceed thru enemy towers and on the end they will fight enemy army in the circle. The army that wins will atk economic and military buildings of the enemy.
Income system
Every economic/military building will produce some money and send wave of mobs every round. Defenders will get more money from buildings while attackers will send more units. You will also gain money from killing enemy mobs.
If you are or interested or like this idea, leave me your comment here or you can ask for further details, thanks.
Instead of having somebody else make it, why not try to do it yourself :D If you get stuck on something- ask about it! Thats what the forums are for, after all.

Feel free to Send me a PM if you have any questions/concerns!
I'd really like to do it myself, but yet I only relized how to make terrain, I have no clue how to create tower defense mode. I just don't know how to program the map to create custom game and set all triggers up. But I'm gonna try to figure something out, however I would be really happy if someone wanted to help with tower defense programming part.
Hm i see for ur language ur still a newbie at editor, but keep the head up and look forward! Even the best of mappers were like u(Or worse) if u have questions post here ,dont be afraid! Good luck!
I would recommend OneTwo SC's video tutorial. Although I havent actually watched it myself, I have seen pleanty of his tutorials and know they are all well-explained and thorough. Heres a link to part 1 of the tutorial : http://www.youtube.com/onetwosc#p/c/556FA0CE09DE04B3/0/de16kM0fHfQ

Actually I see he has 2 separate TD tutorials. This one (http://www.youtube.com/onetwosc#p/c/144BCFFBCA1EABFB/0/SBQjnT_96hQ) is the earlier one. I think this one is more thorough because it is intended for people who never touched the editor, whereas the other link I provided is more more experienced users. I THINK this one is still valid but it was made during the beta.
Thanks for help so far, I have managed to create mob waves but Im stucked at the creating my own towers. I have duplicated photon cannon and created basic cannon but it looks really weird and doesnt do any damage. I couldnt find any decent tower making tutorial and if I follow onetwos tutorial it still doesnt work... here is screenshot of my awful tower: http://img641.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2011030617200.jpg/
The circle shows up when there SHOULD be an actor there but it cant find the model. Go to that photon cannon unit in the data editor. Make sure the object explorer is turned on ( click the little observer icon at the top of the data editor to turn object explorer on/off ). There should be a box in the bottom left of the window. Look at each actor assigned to the unit. My guess is that you duplicated the object incorrectly. Make sure there is only 1 photon cannon actor. There will be other actors but none of them should be called "photon cannon" or "photon cannon copy". If you do see 2 of these then my theory is correct. Just find that extra actor that doesn't work and delete it. Optionally send me your map in a PM so I can look at it. I won't do it for you but I can see what the problem is much easier.

Thanks I really appreciate your help. I thought there was problem with actors, even in the tutorial I saw was this problem mentioned, but whatever I tried failed hard. This is my first map and everything in the editor looks way too complicated so far, milions of options but none I would need :). Im gonna send you map as you suggested and I hope I will get to understand it better then. And please Ive been unsuccessfully trying one more thing, can I let that builder (probe copy) flying? I only managet to burrow it deep below ground level :D
