In this thread I'll keep a list (as up to date as I can) with the Tutorial Requests and if fulfilled the Tutorial that has been made for it.
If a specific type is requested (see Data editor, Trigger Editor, Terrain Editing, etc.) then I'll list this type in the table as well.
The column Request Type is filled in as how I expect the tutorial to be fulfilled, ofcourse if you can make a tutorial that does it in an other way this will be appreciated.
Some of the requests are links to the actual post of the person requesting it. This is because I have simplified the request to be either more general, or by removing examples. Check the link for more information.

I'd really love a nice tutorial explaining how to build weapons or abilities making use of bullet collision (ie. Shooting a missile towards the target point, and colliding / doing damage with the first unit it hits). Preferably without using (at least not too many) triggers.

Is there a method by which you can use triggers to create Protoss units and have them use their specified warp-in animations? (I know a few units don't have one) One that can be reusable multiple times in one go would be even handier.

I'd like to request an in-depth tutorial of the basics of using the Data Editor. Personally its very hard to migrate from the object editor in Wc3 to the Data editor in Sc2. I don't even know how to set the model and icon of a unit... A tutorial of the Data Editor would be much helpful to I think everyone in here who are new to the galaxy editor.

Setting up a Trigger to initialize an Objective, for example, "Go west and kill the Zerglings" or "Find location (X) on the map", and this includes showing text messages to the player, some basic variable editing and a goal, like going back to the main menu or loading another map (if you want to make a small campaign).

A basic explanation to Triggers, Conditions and Events and how they work in conjunction with eachother, thus encouraging people to play around with all the settings available, and in the long run probably raise the average knowledge among members here on the forums.

I would really like a tutorial on how to make an ability where you send off a "unit" (projectile) that targets a unit that exerts creep as the unit. So it would look like a tiny bit of creep following a unit and if it catches up to that unit that unit dies

Something I would like to see, which I never see other request; Mapping theory. What makes a good map, how do you encourage different playstyles through map design and other thoughts you must put into creating balanced and interesting maps. This would be for melee, but I would really like to see anything.

It would be nice to have a tutorial that explains what a trigger library is and how to use it (also how it would work in a mod). Also maybe a list of what the benefits of using them are and an example. A video tutorial would be ideal.

I'd like to know something that sounds very simple but i havent figuered out yet (as log as i had an working editor). Is there a way to copy Units with all the modifications made to them from one map to another instead of building them again one to one (and probably forgetting some part). I have a projekt in the making where i have a 1 player testmap and if what i've tested works out i impliment it in the 4 and 8 player version, but making it all again from scratch kinda... You know...

I would like to see a tutorial about lighting... Everything from changing a maps time of a day happy light to night day. Including how to properly change a units lighting aura that follows them so they don't have a flashlight at night.
There really should be a tutorial on how to 'graft' units to other units (think: Uberlisk). I realize there's that XML tutorial for the uberlisk - but it would be great if someone could translate that into how to do it in GE. I spent a couple of hours messing around in the data editor but still can't figure out how to attach models to each other and make them be able to attack.
