Hello! I just started experimenting with the editor for the first time in years. It's so exciting to open up the editor again, it confused me when I was a teenager but looking at it now it is incredibly powerful and intuitive. I have a few questions. I was experimenting with making it so that...

I'm thinking of adding a death mechanic wherein if a party member falls in battle, there are no means to revive them until the "battle" is over. The combat state starts at the first encounter/aggro of an enemy, and will last until all the enemies in that blob is killed. I've been playing...

So I've been working a long time on a huge RPG adventure map, and have started using a lot of triggers as well. I think I'm finally getting somewhat of a grip on the trigger-mechanics, however I am not too keen with what triggers that potentially could cause lag-spikes. Now when I'm testing the...

I've been thinking about it. So, I have a hero unit that will decide whether or not he will engage a group of hostile units. How do you think is the best way to calculate all the things needed for the hero to engage in a fight? Calculate time to kill each enemy units? time they needed to kill...

Hello there, small problem i got very recently. I created new combat sounds and imported them to my map. It's not a problem of method. When double-clicking the sound in the sound editor, it's played rightly. Then, while testing in game, only the imported sounds never play ! It's because the...

Hey all, I just recently started working with the map editor and it's a blast, but I've sort of hit a wall with an idea I'd like to implement, I'm not sure if you're familiar with Dungeons and Dragons 5e style combat, but basically.... Say you want to attack someone, they have an "Armor Class"...
