I see, thank you for the input.

I just tried it, it works great!! Thanks for pointing that out, it's gonna save me tons of time. :D

So I've been using find and replace a lot when copying triggers, especially when I need to copy a set of triggers for each player. I've been able to find and replace parameter values such as replacing one region with another and switching one variable out with another. My problem is that I can't seem to figure out how to replace the player number.

I want to be able to replace Player 1, with Player 2 with one fell swoop...

-Unit - Create 1 Ghost for player 1 at (Center of Team1Spawn) using default facing (No Options) -Variable - Set P1 = (Last created unit) -Unit Selection - Select (Last created unit) for player 1 -Unit Group - Add all units in (Any units in Team1Spawn owned by player 1 matching Excluded: Missile, Dead, Hidden, with at most Any Amount) to P1CamGroup -Variable - Set P1alive = true -Camera - Follow for player 1 P1CamGroup with the camera and Clear Current Target

Is this possible? Any help is appreciated. (=

So i've completed RileyStarcrafts tutorial on custom abilities. Now i'm trying to make my own custom ability. If anyone is familiar with rileys tutorial, I want to create something similar to what he has done so I copied all the effects to make my new ability. I want to make something similar to Flame Walk from Diablo 2. So when the unit moves, fire trails him/her. I feel that most of the ground work is laid out, but I tried changing the ability to Effect-Instant rather than Effect-Target. Now nothing happens when I try to use this ability. If anyone know how to work around this problem I would appreciate it. Thanks. (=

@RileyStarcraft: Go

Thank you so much! That fixed it. (= Awesome tutorial, very well though out and easy to follow. I figured that something had changed in the editor because I went through the process a few times trying to figure out what went wrong. Thank goodness that all that effort didn't go to waste. Thanks again so much. (=

Try going to the data editor and opening up the ability that's giving you trouble. Under the "Cost" field, check to see if any of the "cost display" fields are checked, this determines what costs are displayed on your tooltip. The fact that its displaying 100 minerals seems as if the cost is being passed into the tooltip from somewhere by the script it uses to determine the cost for display purposes. That would mean that your ability has some cost associated with it somewhere.

I just finished going through RileyStarcrafts custom ability tutorial and I ran into a few hang-ups. If anyone is familar with this tutorial or the data editor, maybe you could help me. When I test out the ability, it does not shoot outward from the caster, the persitent effect occurs 8 times at the position of the caster. I have set 8 seperate off-sets in the periodic offset of the (shockwave-blast persistent) effect. This should cause the ability to cast outward, but it is not. Also, when I cast the ability it does 10 damage to the caster, even though I flagged the caster not to be effected by it.

If anyone knows what I'm talking about and might know a solution, it would be greatly appreciated. (=

@progammer: Go

Lol, thanks guys...I assumed it was already there since it was in the command card. (=

EDIT: So he attacks now, but it comes out the side of him not the front. Where do I change that?

I'm using Stetmann in one of my custom maps and he doesn't have a weapon by default. I tried adding one in the data editor but he still doesn't attack. Does anyone know what might be preventing him from attack? I checked the unit flags, but didn't see anything that pertained to attacking.

I was just on battle.net playing some of the new challenges that they included in the retail version of the game. They are really fun and teach you a lot about using your units effectively. I thought this would be a good contest idea, submit a map a challenge map that tests the players skill and teaches them something fundamental (or advanced) about competitive multi-player. Anyway, just a thought...
