[Miscellanous / Other] Easy ideas for puzzle map.

[Алексић Владица.]

Greetings. I am making n puzzle map in WarCraft III style, meaning there will be Undead, a bit of magic etc... The player controls one unit and it's captured in the dungeon, just one room, the goal is to escape by playing in that room, the room is somewhat big, and contains enough space for much of things. Also, I would need to make an FPS camera if it's possible after the new patches. Any easy ideas on that? In advice thank you.

Like an escape room? Cool, but nay to FPS camera.

Make so that one player (or more?) is blindfolded (apply cinematic filter - black mask) but can move. One player (or more?) can see but can't move and thus has to instruct the other one.

Disable unit collision and hide players' units from each other (enemy and permanent invis for example). Players have to stand in certain positions to advance.

Blindfold everyone and make them follow sounds. Then remove the black mask for a moment to reveal a mob that will start to chase them and play some creepy chase music.

Wow man that's hard to make. But I had in plan something similar, thank you, I just started working on the map, for now I want some very basic and easy things.

None of that is hard I think. Blind fold is literally one-liner: call CinematicFadeBJ( bj_CINEFADETYPE_FADEOUT, 0.00, "ReplaceableTextures\\CameraMasks\\Black_mask.blp", 0, 0, 0, 0 )

I have no idea what was that.

I have no idea what was that.

It's JASS.

If you don't know how to make a black mask filter with normal GUI triggers then I suggest you read up on some tutorials before attempting something like this.

There's your classic sliding block puzzles, light beam and mirrors, hitting switches in the right order...

Thank you both, I thought to make something like Mr. cleavinghammer said. Just don't know to make light and mirrors with GUI.

Sure I will look it on the internet for more information and hopefully learn. > FeelsGoodMan

One such puzzle can be found in the Wanderers of Sorceria campaigns, using the Healing Wave effect between targets when they're aligned with each other, you can use that for inspiration.

Oh, what an idea. WarCraft III community is smart, I'm lovin' it. Thank you again.
