Okay, first at all thanks for approval Septimus, especially for the rating Recommended, that made me really glad.
Also I'd like to thank you for mentioning your points. I just updated my map.

Things changed:
- Changed the Name to "Tutorial Escape"
- Updated the Preview
- Made the floating texts smaller/replaced them so you can see the path

I also added extras to this map:
- Renaming
- Recoloring
- Kicking

I also added a game mode to this map:
- Checkpoint Mode


Still I have 2 questions.

70-80% of the map terrain is rather flat.

What exactly do you mean with that?

Some unit seem to move rather fast, try slow it down a bit.

I checked it but I couldn't find any mistakes. Could you tell me which units walk faster as the other?



Anyway, thanks again for approval.

You are doing a good job mate =)
However you leak in some locations. Try fixing that (although it is GUI but you can still do it =P)

[Kill3rbeast]

Hi xxdingo93xx,

Fist i have to say it was a good idea to do something like a tutorial escape. There are so many noob like made escape on the bnet so this maybe will help!

To remove the leaks Flame_Phoenix said heres a good tutorial:

Triggers - Memory Leaks and Custom Scripts

I have also the next question did you done your escape with "Locust" at my opinion this is a really important think for a escape map.

With "flat" he means you should make different highs into your map!

I will also check you map later for somethinks and give you some more ideas for it! Will update this soon...

EDIT: (Your map dont worked for me... lagged like hell o_O) - Works NOW

1. You should make you multiboard refresh (build it new) only when a player leaves... and otherwise just update (change row X to new value...) it!
2. You should use "Phoenixfire" and not "Immolation" this does not lagg... You said you tried before but it works just do again!
3. For your "Kill-Trigger" you should use "For each inteager 1 to 10" ... "for each player" does leak! Either way i done it at point 6. You should more use this!! ( If you use every time Inteager A and Inteager B it maybe will make issuses. Then use "For each inteager (Variable)" with different variables.
4. Whats with a mode with "Lives + Checkpoints"? This normaly the favorite mode for an escape.
5. Whats with a Slide part? Many people making escapes want to have sliding in it and dont know how it works^^ I can give you a really leakless slide trigger if you want!!
6. For you kill trigger you can use "For each inteager..." too and make it much shorter, watch this: (This is the way how you could improve lots of your triggers)

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)

Loop - Action

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

'IF'-Condition

(Clicked dialog button) Gleich KickDB[(Integer A)]
(Name of (Player((Integer A)))) Ungleich xxdingo93xx

'THEN'-Aktionen

Game - Display to (All players) for 5.00 seconds the text: (Colorcodes[(Integer A)] + ((Name of (Player((Integer A)))) + |r has been kicked!))
Unit - Remove Escaper[(Integer A)] from the game
Unit - Remove Detector[(Integer A)] from the game
Unit - Remove Circle[(Integer A)] from the game
Set Alive[(Integer A)] = False
Set MB_Left[(Integer A)] = True

'ELSE'-Aktionen

EDIT 2: Phoenixfire was still right... you should try to put in in right and donte do it with immolation!^^

If you want check out my escapes im sure you can get some ideas there! You can find them in my signature...

EDIT 3: 7. You should start other levels when the (first) player reach (if no one is in level 2 dont spawn units there) it and end the level when it is finished then (remove all units). For lives mode: (You should also add a count that menas a variable for the players and then everytime a level is finished by a player check if all players done it and then remove all units in it!!!)

8. Let escaper run faster! Its not funny if they walk as low as they do .. better do enemys faster e.g. (My Opinion, i done them 290)

9. Let players change there escaper model is a very n1 feature and many dont know how they should do this (how to changer hero on a way revive system e.g. still works you know?)... let them play sound e.g. there are so many thinks...

10. A Special idee is hard needed for a good escape you should tell this at you tutorial... For examples (this ides exist in maps i know): Nice spell ideas (Jump, PvP-Spells for not team based one etc), special modes, systems others dont have, the darkness in done in one of my maps or what ever or just the idea to make a tutorial ... XD What the hell ^^

11. What is with a feature to lock camera (moves with your hero) or change it to special position (top view, zoom out...) with a commant! You should not lock the camera settings, you should let the player decide how he want to have it. Anyway you should avoay triggers like "every 2 sec" timer like you done for lock camera with settings to user!


I have to say you trap ideas and terrain are great done! Well done at all...
Finally I would advice you to work over some of your systems (lagg, leak, to complikated done) and also structuring you triggers in more categories i think this is confusing at moment. Normally this is uninteresting but this should be a tutorial right? ^^. You should also do this before working on "Tutorial Escape 2" i would say because others want to learn from you (I think i they learn it not the perfect way right?) That means not you maps is not nice made ... i think you understand what i mean :-)

If you have questions just ask me i will help you with systems or something else... I hope this was helpfull for you!

EDIT: Change some thinks to make it clearer for you what i mean! If something is claudy please ask for it more specific.

Friendly Greetings

[xxdingo93xx]

Thanks, Kill3rbeast :)

Well, I found the reason of this lag hell. I wanted to make the units unclickable and I gave them the ability Locust and Phoenixfire to kill, anyway it didn't work and caused such a lag. Now I used immolation for it. It is just a every-1-second-kill however it kills and works :D Also I fixed all possible unit group leaks.

I am pleased if you all can give me some more ideas, I will try to put them into Tutorial Escape 2 which is under construction!

Greetz, xxdingo93xx

[DaRkaHn]

i got an idea :)
Make a Wall... thats not Really a Wall and put up a place where there is a guy named "Bruiser of Masacre" and put lotsof Corpses around then do like u have to go through the invisible wall becuse Brusier of Masacre Kills u if u dont,use some AWSOME undead custom skin/model For the Bruiser of Masacre and one more thing there must be a way to the otherside of the wall behind the Bruiser or they will never die by him :)

[xxdingo93xx]

Well, Tutorial Escape 2 is going to be based on sliding things. Besides that, you will have to explain your idea some better :P I cannot really follow it.

[cedi]

Hey dingo, I've tested the map and I've found a bug. I run into the last checkpoint. A cinematic startet, but then nothing happens. The escaper doesn't run down to the field... Soo It's stucked...

But it's a very cool Idea...

cedi

[xxdingo93xx]

Uhm, I already fixed that, didn't I? I'll look for it.

Edit:

Ah, bug found and fixed. Thanks for info, cedi.
My map should be bugfree now.

[yakonshus]

It does not look like death and decay, but still fun, alteast that much it can be without some undead raising necromancers. I'l give it a shot.... BOOM!
