What build system... Not everyone bothers to play every LotR WC3 map people make.

You should describe the system you are after and then list examples of like implimentations.

If it is trigger enhanced, you can just look at the JASS map script and see how it was implimented. Additionally you could try asking the author of the map.

it isnt based on any warcraft 3 map. lord of the rings battle for middle earth is a game developed by electronic arts.

The system where you click a circle, get some options on what you want to build on that circle, then pick structure of choise? Start with making every structures you need in your map, then create your circle of power, where you add all the structures you want to build in "Techtree - Upgrades To:" (found in object editor for your circle of power). Really it will upgrade circle of power to selected structure, but none will be the wiser. Personaly I have not experimented alot on this, but it shouldn't be a problem. Correct me if I'm wrong.

i am able to get it to work perfectly for the starting bases. most base sites consist of 3 types of build sites. 1 citadel, 2 big building and 4 small building.(big build sites might be added later but will be heavily guarded.) i am however out of ideas on how to solve it for expansions.

Cut it down to simple Steps.


First make , as said above, a circle that is able to upgrade to smallA or smallB.
The circle can not be destroyed.

then make triggers. When smallA or smallB gets destroyed, remove them and place a new circle on their previous position.

Repeat this for every kind of bulding ( small, big, citadel, RandomOther, Mineralmines , ..... ) you can add as many types as you like ofc.

that part isnt the issue. my issue is to get expansions to work through script. just like in battle for middle earth people claim a building to get a base site.(i have figured out how to enable people to claim buildings.) the problem is how to create multiple expansions on that concept.
