You can't add any races to the list, so:
1. Create custom units for your races.
2. Create a dialog / command to choose a race - You said you're having trouble making a dialog trigger, so use the command trigger instead. (e.g. -naga)
3. Delete

• Melee Game - Create starting units (for all players)

and because they are custom races, delete

• Melee Game - Run melee AI scripts (for computer players)

4. Add to the trigger that picks the race and make the starting units for that picked race.

Try that.

thanks,but im not sure how to change the starting creatures

 

[Big Dub]

You can't change the starting creatures. That is why you must get rid of the trigger.
You must make your own function that places the starting units you want and takes a location. Then you call the functions depending on the player's race. Or you could do it in GUI if you make array variables of the starting units like StartBuildingType[] and StartUnitType[] then have the array number correspond with the race. Then when they pick their race you can spawn 1 StartBuildingType[theirRace] spawn 4 StartUnitType[theirRace] at start location. You just need to think of ways around it.

I wanna wish you luck with it but i want to remember you the map would suggest you the Creep Rebelion program it makes easy to make new races It adds a new race Neutral-Ogres and so on and makes you an dialog and everything so you can easyer make a map with more races....If you want to change the 4 original races(Humans,Orcs,Undead,Night Elf)You can change the models of the units and in I think in

Advance>Gameplay Constants

I think any way good luck pleas send me a pm when you finish your map

creep rabellion program?sounds interesting lol
link?

 

[Narrat0r]

It's not that simple to make a completely new race in just few clicks. It takes hours of triggering, unit creation, techtreeing... see some tutorials(or should i say torturials).

 

[Vulcano]

And don't forget the AI, that probably takes tons of hours and you need to be good in JASS too.

you could ofc use an ai of another race but then you must make the races the same except with some models changed. Not very original.

 

[TheHunterKiller]

Nevermind, i failed XD.

 

[manstie]

Yeah, TheHunterKiller...
Undead
Night Elf
Human
Orc
Random

Were those it? -.-

Just do what I said and it would work.

 

[rAmPaGingONI]

you could try installing the Creep Rebellion, then modifying their units. youd have to be able to do JASS tho, its pre 1.24 so youd have to fix the functions.

 

[Solecompanysole]

or just install creep rebelion and do nothing i have made some maps so http://solecompany.yolasite.com/maps.php (download Ice Desert)
Here is the link for creep rebelion http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tools-560/creep-rebellion-installer-1-07-a-62912/

 

[nhytgbvfeco2]

well actually i still leave the original races there aswell so i dont really have to make an AI,atleast not until a certain stage...
btw im a horribole terrainer
so unless i get some help on that account ill just use a blizzard map lol

 

[rAmPaGingONI]

i dont think creep rebellion has been updated for a long time, so its doubtful its currently 1.24 compatible

 

[nhytgbvfeco2]

still,worth a try...

 

[nhytgbvfeco2]

creep rebellion worked,and its great!
it already has the dialog box built in which saves me a lot of trouble,and has some very nice stuff in it!
and more importantly,its 1.24 compatible
now just have to replace all the things with oger things...meh

 

[rAmPaGingONI]

really? wow. thats good news, now i dont have to update my race based off of it

 

[nhytgbvfeco2]

can't find an ogre worker model...damn lol
