Holy crap! This is the most welcoming I've ever received from forums! I appreciate the kindness! :D
I will check out all the things mentioned here as I get time to do so. ESPECIALLY that podcast! If that's true, I'm an open book. Teach me!
peranzormal: I'm glad someone recognized my old maps. Makes me feel at home, lol! I was so terrible at modding back then, but I've got some great new ideas, and I think I can make popular maps.
TheAlmaity: I really appreciate those references!
For those of you who were asking for specific problems, I understand completely, and I realize it's annoying to have people saying "it doesn't work," without giving much detail. But... here's the problem: Every time I have tried to create a builder, who can build a tower, and the tower can attack, and upgrade itself, something has gone wrong. And it's always been something different. Which means, either I'm a complete idiot, or the unluckiest guy in the world. (it's probably both)
Keep in mind, I'm kinda' backwards. I have no problem with triggers and coding (for the most part). I just can't figure out how to properly make a unit. For example, the most frustrating thing I've ever seen, is all the crap they attach to a unit, and I can't figure out which part of it I'm supposed to duplicate, and then, if I remember all of them, it'll take me 3 hours (yes, sometimes literally 3 hours) to find all the renamed duplications, and then rename them individually for ONLY ONE UNIT. At this rate, it's gonna' be 2 years before I have a playable map online.
THE FILE ATTACHMENT: Is a list of instructions I made for myself before I quit at the beginning of summer. It's my own little reference guide that I could look at in case I forgot stuff. And I've probably forgotten more since I've been out of practice for a few months. Whatever's in that txt document, is the extent of my knowledge. (if that)
If that podcast is going on tonight, and I find it, I'll tune in.
I wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to these forums, but I registered here because I want to learn how to use the SC2 map editor.
I was "Kaine_Stolkyn" on WC3, and I made the Autumn Cross TD, Sunken Cross TD, and Dalaran Cross TD maps. (among many others that never picked up much popularity) I plan on redesigning a brand new Autumn Cross TD with new features.
However, I have tried working with the unit editor on Galaxy, and... well... it is one of the most confusing things I've ever seen. I have been to numerous websites, and watched numerous tutorials, and I am still struggling to make a unit that works. (the tutorials always failed, even when I followed them to the letter) Trying many times over a few months of failure, I finally gave up over the summer. After hearing about SC2 Mapster, I decided to give it one more shot, and hope that the community here can help me overcome my disability of ignorance on this editor.
Though I was skilled in the WC3 editor, I feel like a baby on Galaxy.
If anyone can point me where I can begin (this is a fairly big website) for n00bies on creating units, towers, and upgrades, I would highly appreciate it.
Thanks so much for reading my thread. I'm book marking these forums. With your help, I can make you guys some really fun games in the near future,
