Hi,

I have a Warcraft III DBZ TD map, which I also attached in this message!

The map is set right now to where if 1 person leaks everyone leaks and it is a team loss. I love to play the map with all 8 players, however, sometimes a lot the other player leaks and wrecks it for everyone especially the ones that did not leak at all then we all lose to player(s) leaking, which makes me very cranky! I would like to edit the map's triggers in World Editor to where if 1 person leaks it is that person leaking loss Survivor loss instead of team loss? Please and thank you!

The map says survivor, however, that part is not fixed yet just ready for when able to be fixed!

I looked on Game Mode & Lives Category and there is already Triggers in there Choose Game Mode, Survivor Choosen, and Team Choosen, however, there is no button for red to click on for Survivor nor Teams and there is not anything that I am able to see to type either while playing during the game? Please and thank you!

In Game Mode & Lives Category there are lots of functions and within these variables which are disabled and if function is enabled a error/warning messages are given:

This function cannot be enabled because the variable 'ChooseMode/ChooseTeam/ChooseSurvivor/Is_Team_Game/Is_Dead' does not exist.

This Function cannot be enabled because not all the parameters have values.

which does not let me enable? Please and thank you!

I am open to learning how to edit the map to be survivor mode by the variables already listed in Game Mode & Lives Category or another way? Please and thank you!

After I learn how to edit the DBZ TD map I will be able to edit the several other maps to survivor mode also and be able to help others learn how also!

Thanks so much! Have a great one! God bless!

Hey.

If it's someone else's map, which it probably is, ask the creator first if you can edit it. Ask if HE can edit it. BTW, you need to make a variable named "..." Based on this, it seems like you don't know much about triggering. Look it up, if you can, or just better yet ask the original creator to do it.

However, if you really made it, look it up on the internet. You require several variables and triggers to do it, I'm sure. I think you need an array variable with a count, and if a unit enters a region then it reduces the variable by 1 for the player.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply! I also fixed the first message with the errors!

Error/Warning messages is given:

"This function cannot be enabled because the variable 'ChooseMode/ChooseTeam/ChooseSurvivor/Is_Team_Game/Is_Dead' does not exist."

"This Function cannot be enabled because not all the parameters have values."

If the people/person who created the map knew how to turn the map into Survivor Mode they would have instead of leaving the map part way incompelete.

I have tried to learn how on the internet, however, not able to find out how so I am asking here how to learn how! :)

What you are doing is illigal, you may not de-protect, edit maps that do not belong to you unless the maker has given you permission.
And you have not given any prove that you have permission, I'm almost sure you don't.
So don't expect any help, what you are doing is wrong and against the rules.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply!

Did you get permission for using those pictures in your profile, or are you giving credit to the owner for those pictures, or are you the creator of those pictures because if not that is illigal and wrong and against the rules also.

You are correct, thanks for helping me! Another way other then getting permission or being owner, is to give the owner(s)/creator(s) credit after I edit the map!

I was using the incorrect word also "edit" I am not editing the map like I said before which is incorrect, I am finishing the incompeleteness of the map. I am a nice person and I love to help and I want to help by finishing the incompeleteness where it was left off!

The onwer(s) started to add survivor options, however, left it incompelete therefor did not know how to finish, so I would like to help! How do I help by finishing the map to be survivors where the owner(s) left incompelete and also how do I give the owners/creators credit also? Please and thank you!

It's not illegal to do this, it's just wrong. However, it's not just map deprotection, it's the whole spectrum of map protection. The debate is endless as to which is worse, so just drop it with your useless comments. If you're going to help, help, if you're not, doin't bother posting.

I suggest you take a look at this demo map if you want help with TD triggers.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply! Thanks for the help also! I apologize about the useless comments! The map was not even protected or anything anyway! I apologize about the not nice comments though! I guess I am not that nice after all! :( Please forgive me?

I would love to learn how to help if there is still a chance? Please and thank you!

It's not illegal. Maps, unlike standalone games, are not under the normal jurisdiction of intellectual property protection laws. Blizzard is the one that makes the calls, but they don't care.

However, it's still wrong because you're taking credit for something that isn't yours. It's also a matter of respect among mapmakers. In asking a mapmaker for permission to edit, you're showing respect.

above I asked how to also give credit to the person/people that created the map also to show more respect!
