A: Advanced -> Gameplay Constants
There should be something like Hero - Max Level. Set it to whatever you want.

Q9: Alter the boss' AQUISITION RANGE and give his player a map reveal, then he can find you anywhere xD

 

[deagLeRuLzZ]

A1: Scenario - Map options - Untick "Masked areas..."

 

[TheHunterKiller]

5: Well, you could make a secret code what is revealed when you beat the game. For the difficulty thing, use a save/load trigger.

 

[adythewolf]

8: On Unit Editor, above the attack thingies there is something like "Player Color". Default is use owner color. Change it to player2 blue.

Q5. How do i make it so when you finish the game you can unlock secret characters.
ex: *scroll over ninja hero* "To unlock this hero you must kill "Name of boss" or
you must complete game on "certain difficulty"

Create a new building or unit and name it as "Complete the map" and then go to the "Requirements" field of your unlockable character and add the unit that you just created to that list. The unit should not be seen by the players. Then create the following trigger:

• Unlock
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to BOSS
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 "Complete the map" for (Picked player) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing 0.00 degrees

Now, when the players beat the game, they get a new building that allows them to train/hire/summon the new unlocked unit.

How do i make armor appear on my character ( i download a armor model. ) how do i
make it show on the character.

Create a new ability out of an ability called "Sphere". Add the model that you want to be shown to the attachement fields and then set attachement points to hand,right or chest or whatever you want it to be. Then give this ability to the item. So now when someone picks the item he gains the ability that shows the attachements.

Where do i find the Aquisition Range and how do i give map reveal? Sorry im really noob >< XD

Map Reveal
I'm not sure what you want, but this gives vision for every player in the map.

• Map Reveal
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for (Picked player) emitting Visibility across (Playable map area)

Acquistion Range

Q5: What you really want is a system that produces an unique code that is dependent on player name. That stops 1 person who has completed it from simply giving the code to someone who hasn't.
It has been done before but I don't know how. Some kind of hexing system.

A9: You could change his range but if you want him to attack you when you get close to him, you could make a region trigger making him change player.

Events: Unit - A unit enters region
Condition: Owner of (triggering unit) Equal to Player 1(red)
Action: Unit - Change ownership of BOSS to Player 12(brown) and retain color

Like so. Brown is usually the enemy and red is usually the player, you may want to add Condition: Triggering unit is a hero equal to true, incase its a hero. If you chose retain color the Unit(BOSS) doesnt change color. Hope it helped

The first question it's not a compass it's called a minimap, now I'm not sure if you mean the fog of war or just keep it black the whole entire game.

Is your World Editor in English or in another language?
