Help needed!

[Hambread]

Hi I am new to creating warcraft maps and i do not understand about triggers and all. I need help or guidance about adding triggers. Example if i want to change a pleasant into a bear during the night, how do i do it? I also do not understand what is JASS. Please guide me, Thank you.

• Peasant to Bear
  • Events
    • Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to 24.00
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Replace (Peasant) with a Bear using The old unit's relative life and mana

You can look up plenty of Jass tutorials on this site.

GUI Essentials Tutorial

JASS is the name of the code of Warcraft 3.
GUI is the same as JASS, just made easier for the user because it has a graphical interface.
JASS is just a listing of code like this:

private function UnitsNearby takes real x, real y, unit dragged returns boolean
        local group nGroup = CreateGroup()
        local unit n
        set draggedUnit = dragged
        call GroupEnumUnitsInRange(nGroup, x, y, 60, kbBoolexpr)
        set n = FirstOfGroup(nGroup)
        call DestroyGroup(nGroup)
        set nGroup = null
        set draggedUnit = null
        if n == null then
            return false
        else
            set n = null
            return true
        endif
    endfunction

JASS has the advantage that it takes less time to code and has functions GUI doesn't have. It's also more efficient then GUI because it leaves some unused stuff away that GUI creates automatically.
But it's a bit complicated to learn.

You can know English very well and still be poor with GUI, I don't know English very well, or even good ^^ but I know about GUI a lot ^^

Working constantly and good tutorials = Success

Working constantly? How can you stand 24 hours a day in front of the PC..

Tutorials? Nah, tutorials are bad..

If you want to learn GUI in the easiest way, just begin practice on your own..
