I'm making a campaign and I was wondering is it possible to link 2 maps together using triggers? What I want to happen is that the story will start on the first map and then finish on the second map.
Thanks

Under event triggers there is an event called set next map which says it will run the next map after this map is done. If someone can look into this that would be nice.
It works for singleplayer maps only. It requires the user to download the map files and place them in the Maps folder in his Starcraft 2 installation directory (NOT in the maps folder of your own user profile, where editor maps are stored by default!).
Having the "real" map files is required, downloading them via Battle.net will not work. Also you cannot start the maps within SC2, you need to open the map file directly with the SC2 Launcher.
If you specify the next map with the Set Next Map trigger action and the next map is available in the folder, it starts automatically, after the previous map was completed successfully (not sure, if you need to call additional actions at the end of the game).
For multiplayer maps or maps downloaded via the Battle.net service, it does not work.
You can, actually. But only for single player maps- you have to put them into your computer's sc2 folder, and you have to download them all. You can't use them on battle.net, and it's kind of inconvenient for the player to have to set up. But it works.
The trigger is called something along the lines of "set next map", and it will run that map when the current one ends. You can even use banks to save information in-between, creating some large RPG-style maps.
edit- Kueken beat me to it :( Should probably read these threads before responding....

You can in theory but Blizz hasn't enabled it yet.

So it wouldnt work if I made the campaign work with more than one map and published it on sc2 right?
