I've got a section of my map I'm working on that has a ruined/overgrown section with walls used from the Doodad list (Ruined Wall). Unfortunately units can walk right through them which is not something I want them to be capable of doing. When I go to Pathing - Painted Pathing, neither "No Pathing" or "Ground" work to "Remove Pathing". Oddly enough when I got to "Add Pathing" and paint over something that is red, like a tree or another Doodad, it does indeed add pathing. Is there something I need to do before I can remove pathing to prevent units from traveling through walls?
I can't seem to find anything on setting up teams except "Team Placement" in the map menu, but it doesn't seem to be what I want. Is there a way to set up teams before the game starts and name them like we could in the WC3 Editor? (Like team 1 is defenders, team 2 is attackers type deal, and then throw players 1-4 on team 1 ect). I know I can set alliances on map initialization but I was just wondering if you can do it before the map even starts.
I've messed around with the DE a bit and got about half way to an answer. I changed the view of my data editor and everything got a tad bit more easy to read, but I still have a problem. I went down to "Sound - Sounds" where all the unit responses are held and I noticed a majority of Zealot (I made a test Zealot) sounds are missing that aren't missing in the stock Zealot.
For example, in the Index box it asks for responses to things like Attack and Birth, however when I browse the sounds, go down to Zealot, there are only about half of the unit responses available (Attack, Attack_NP (unnamed), AttackImpact, AttackLaunch, Charge, Death, Death_NP (unnamed), DeathFX, Help, Pissed, Ready, Read_NP (unnamed), What, What_NP (unnamed), and Yes). Things like Birth and Movement are missing, among other sounds. However when I go to the standard Zealot, these sounds are being used and are apparently plugged in, I just can't find them.
Am I doing something wrong? Can someone please help me out, this is very frustrating?
I've just started using Galaxy a couple of hours ago and have been trying to get the hang of it. I watched a tutorial on creating a unit (something which was SIMPLE in both the SC editor and WC3 editor) and still don't completely understand why it's so f*ing difficult, but I managed to get one in game...sort of. I created a unit based off the Stalker, the only difference being the name (I named it Stalker N), but for whatever reason when I "link" the unit to actor the sound is lost in the process. When I run the map, the unit responses are completely missing but everything else seems to work.
It seems to happen right about when I change the unitName to that of the custom unit (in this case Stalker to "StalkerN"), I see a whole bunch of stuff change in the "Sound" tab in the bottom left box. I've tried this with another unit (a High Templar) and it does the same thing. I feel like I'm doing something wrong, but I'm following the tutorials (which are running an older version of the editor) instructions perfectly and it still does this.

@toddii: Go
Doh! I had the grid on when I was doing it so I couldn't see the pathing being applied. Thank you!

Thanks Jim, that does indeed help. You'd think there was an easier way to do it, guess not.
