[Daffa]

@Retera
You're amazing! Good job, now no more hassle, I don't have to afraid of making altered Melee maps

Awesome I made a Naga Race replacing the Orc Race. Still having problems in my Reveal System thing so I just deleted it. I will just quit when i destroy all enemy buildings.

Congrats!

Did you try Retera's post? It is two posts above yours. It may be of use.

If you need any help implementing my system, let me know. I tried to make it as easy as possible, but I could assist if it doesn't work for you.

Good luck, sounds like you're doing good work.

It gave me Script Errors

Edit: The problem was I didnt copy all the JASS script and left 1 thing. It really worked great. TY.

Thanks,
Ill Make A New Race For my new map...

 

[G.One]

I have used a better idea

I just didnt like old races that why I modified the real file in the unit editor. This also helped me making the old AI working for these races too so i didnt require to make new AI.

Such a great guide! Thanks. Can anyone tell me, how to extend the race menu functionally ? (Remove handicap, and add new lines to Race)

 

[SuperJakiro]

Thank You for this man ..

 

[An Idiot]

actually you don't need to have the caster units creation building
if you don't wanted to have unit that can cast spell lol

 

[kaboom2002]

what about AI's?

 

[Jabbarz88]

Thanks '3'

 

[DeLichBane]

thanks so much looked for a good turtourial of maping a long time

 

[ToastAddict1057]

Very useful indeed but does this work for computers?

Can i make a specific computer use my race? as example:

• ((Player 8) controller) Equal to User

• (Race of (Player 8)) Equal to Undead

• (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Necropolis

• Unit - Replace (Picked unit) with a Hall of Doom using The old unit's relative life and mana

Thank you!

I tried doing this and i failed unfortunately. Once the game starts, it gives me a bunch of workers(mur'gul slaves) and no main town hall(temple of tides)... Anyone has any idea how to fix this?

 

[99Spaghetti]

Very nice it work thx
But one thing by my new heroes, i can train them all at the first lvl of my main TownHall and i didnt find any anser of this question: Why i can get all heroes at the same TownHall lvl?
I let the hero everything and didnt change.
Only the name and the new main Buildings for the training lvl i changed.

 

[mfdsrax2]

- If you can train all heroes without upgrading town hall, you have not added tier requirements via the object editor or [highlight]you have based them on tavern/campaign heroes <- This was proved wrong, but I still need to redo my tests on it, until then, keep following the rule.[/code]

Could you tell me how to add tier requirements? And how to prevent players from training the same hero twice?

 

[Vaduliu]

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

Can somebody tell me how i can do this?
(I am bad with triggers)

 

[IleftBecauseHadReasons]

You need to add a new action called if/then/else, multiple functions.
If you want to have else actions do trully nothing, do not put anything in there at all.

Edit:When i start the game all the unit are replaced by the workers of my custom race can somebody help-me?
Edit2: One of my custom heroes does not count as a hero for the max of 3 heroes if i train him before the 3rd hero, can anyone help me with this, please? (if you can help I based he on the demon hunter)

I Don't Have my Race

 

[Michael Peppers]

Just in case...

The problem is that Melee V/D conditions consider only basic town hall units as real town halls, no matter what you have typed in gameplay constants. That means if you enable that function you will lose/win when you destroy/run out of buildings, but you will be also revealed 2 mins after the beginning of the game, getting unusual annoying messages.
So now, I'm working on a, unfortunately very complicated, trigger to enable players win/lose the game.
It is working (with very rare exceptions) but I'm looking for a better solution.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

A solution using just a little of vJass.

Custom Race System does everything. You just have to fix a line in it and then write less than ten lines of code. It also handles all Initialization flawlessly, so you can skip writing your own Init triggers. And it has 3 test maps, with a Naga race. And working AI. And a limit of 24 selectable races without dialog boxes (uses handicap values too for selection *if* you want)

Alright, there is a lot of confusion I have while following your tutorial. First of all, how do I choose which race to replace? I meant to replace night elves but always end up with humans when I test my map. Next, how do I add a custom UI without having all the boxes on top of each other? Lastly, how do I make custom techtrees? Thanks.

 

[Coffee]

Same here, I'm confused... new to map making and I wanted to create a map with a custom race that isn't melee but when I picked orc hero from tavern, then get the peons, their icons are peasants and the sound are for humans and while searching, I found this thread.
Is this a tutorial on custom race for altered melee? is it possible to set the soundtrack for the race I picked? I dont mind the frame looking like humans, just the sound when I picked the race in game(not lobby)

 

[NelsonLaJe]

Nice, this will help alot
Thanks

Does this custom race map work in Reforged?
