There were a few UMS games in sc1 i always loved, one of which was a turret defence that had a wierd path (will try to do it here lol):

ignore the *s, thats to keep the lines where they are
But anyways... Ive been reading tutorials and what not, and am quickly learning the map editor, but have a few questions.
1. How do you make custom units? I need to know:
a. how to change unit health
b. how to change unit speed
c. how to change what an scv can build and for how much
2. How do you trigger a unit to move to another point? All i can figure out is teleport (move instantly)
3. When mousing over waves, how do i get it to say the wave's name instead of "Player 8"?
Also, if anyone would like to help that'd be appreciated. Especially balancing about HP and stuff. Thanks :)
thank yall I'm lookin at the 1st link that ErrorAsh linked. I just made a list of what I need to add in, so this should be really helpful to just skim through and find exactly what I need. Also, i asked in my introduction thread, how do you upload a picture of the map when "Creating a map" on this site??
I think this has already been made for SC2 (though the current version is not very good). I remember playing it early on after map publishing came out but I can't imagine that it stayed popular for long. You could certainly make a better version!

Well, i never saw it, but when/if this goes all the way, I'm deffinately going to say that the original idea is not mine, but I did make. I currently have the map made and unit pathing triggers done. That link with the 6part TD tutorials is working WONDERS.
All that's left is:
Scoreboard
Life system
Victory when last wave dies
Decide what unit with how much hp/speed is which wave
Make towers stack-able
Make more than just a turret available
also, still unsure how to upload a pic with my map, and i cant load my map on this site without an included pic..
