How is the trigger editor 'difficult to use'? People have already done pretty much everything that's possible in WC3. :S

well i wanted to go with selection circles to avoid using auras, but at the same time perhaps an aura would be best

i guess the original issue i had with an aura was that if the unit was detected, the enemy would see it. but of course, the enemy will also see a selection circle, so that issue is kind of null

You could always go with creating the aura as an attachment locally, like this:

local string s 

if GetLocalPlayer() == (owner of your unit) then
set s = "path of your aura"
else
set s = ""
endif

call CreateEffect(s, YourUnit, etc)

It is PmP, but less fun.

i will hopefully release a playable alpha version soon, with Humans being fully operational

there will be some creep units too, primarily the minotaur atm, although i am always happy for more suggestions of what other creep units i could include

keep in mind the atmosphere is steampunk, and everything is explained by science fiction, even 'magical' concepts

I suggests for nightelfs are you can specialise their arrows, as they are based on bows.
