I had created a map a while back and put a lot of work into it.

I wiped my hard drive so i lost the editor info.

When i log into the map editor now, I can see my map on the Manage Published Files, and I hit the download button; however, it will not open the map in the editor. I am assuming because under "locked" it says "Yes". Is there a way for me to get this map into the editor again? What did I download when i hit that button, and where did the information go?

I feel like it has something to do with the fact that all the "triggering player" triggers are greyed out when you pick them. idk.

@ibebusiness: Go I started testing the game online with a friend and it seems that we can make each other units turn. This is not good. trying to figure it out but havent yet.

@ibebusiness: Go

Ya my next step is to create the units i am actually going to start using. Thanks a ton, really appreciate it.

@ibebusiness: Go

Holy Crap i think i got it a little. i'm going to send you what i got and tell me what you think... been working on it this whole time... slow learner. but it does need some tweaking. Going to bed for now, Need some sleep 4:30am.

@ibebusiness: Go

Ok, thanks a lot for what you have done so far. Now that the guy is moving i need him to start moving so the camera follows his movements and what I am wanting is for W always make the unit move forward (but not always towards the North direction if you know what i mean). and A&D turn the unit from how the camera is facing (not always East and West of the map). For instance i want it to be controled like this link

@baca25: Go

fixed the unit menu thing, can cycle through it again. you had deleted the (Used dialog item) == Left Button thing under the first General set under If.

@ibebusiness: Go

ya first thing i did was test the map and i noticed i cant cycle through the unit menu anymore, so i will look at that, but i can finally move my unit with WASD so happy about that. now what exactly did you want to know about the camera system? was it the unit menu? or how i want the camera to follow the unit?

@ibebusiness: Go

yep. W moves car forward, A left, S reverse (if possible, if not then thats ok), D right, left and right aroow can turn too. i'm in vent if you want to talk, i'll PM you the info.

@ibebusiness: Go

ummm.... well i dont want to control my guy like a First Person Shooter. i just want to have the camera follow him from a back position, kindof like a car game. probably should have told you that...... my bad. It was actually very hard to find someones map that actually does that, or a tutorial or anything. I dont know if it is any easier or harder to do, but i couldn't find one. All i could really find was like a FPS style. Because i plan to make this game like a car game in the seemingly so distant future.

@ibebusiness: Go

your the boss. whatever it takes. but with the up down left right movement... i had it set up so, up, made the camera on the unit look farther down, and the down button made the camera look up. if you know what i mean, but it really isnt a big deal.

@ibebusiness: Go

Great. Thanks again.

Well I'm too dumb to figure it out still..... so this is what it looks like on my end, and i'm going to continue to mess with it, but here is the basics

Words in Bold are variables i created and you cant see.

Events

........Unit Selection - (Triggering Unit) is Selected by player (Triggering player)

........Timer - Every 0.1 seconds of Game Time

Local Variables

........current unit = Any Unit <Unit>

Conditions

.......(Owner of (Triggering unit)) == 1

Actions

.......Variable - Set current unit = (Triggering unit)

.......General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)

..............If

..................And

........................Conditions

...............................W_on == true

...............................A_on == false

...............................D_on == false

...............................S_on == false

................Then

......................Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to ( Move targeting ((Position of (Triggering unit)) offset by 0.5 towards (Run Angle + 0.1) degrees)) (Replaced Existing Orders)

......................General - Skip remaining actions

................Else

*more of the same thing

I know this is probably basic stuff, but it sure is confusing.

@Nebuli2: Go

well i just spent another hour trying to figure out what you said, but i still cant get it. the problem i'm having is i dont know how to specify the specific unit i want to move. The unit doesnt exist until i create it from the unit menu. I also dont see "selected unit" anywhere, so can you be as specific as possible, as to what i need to do, to get this dang unit to move.

Hi, I have spent hours trying to figure out how to get my units to move with WASD Controls, while in third person mode, the biggest problem is that i cant get them to move with any WASD Controls, whether it is from normal view or 3rd person view or anything. I have tried implementing other peoples controls and everything but my guys just wont move. I am spawning guys from a unit menu that i created, so i choose my units and then they spawn at a spot and i can move them with my mouse and make the camera rotate with them well, with clicking, but i cant figure out how to get them to move with WASD. I think the problem may rest with adjusting the triggers where it says "unit". I've tried putting in "last created unit", "picked unit", "triggering unit". I need a little help here because i cannot figure it out. If you need more info on what i'm doing or trying to do, let me know.
