[Need_O2]

take my msn from right there (I cant be online often these days)

Well my suggestion
Create a trigger
Put some events put some actions test and test
when you get more advanced
look at some unprotected maps

Best helper: just expiriement with stuff.

Put yourself a goal (for example, creating a hero reviving system), then try making it.
If you failed, try again ! if you succeeded, create yourself a new goal.

You must know about variables, however, to make a lot (lot lot lot lot) of things.
If you don't know what variables are... learn a bit in school and come back ^^
If you do know but you don't know where to create them - go to the trigger editor, now click on that yellow X and thats the Variable Editor for you.

I have been mapping for 3 years now and I did not know about variables till 1 year after I began... Although I am good mapper. It is true that the "try and error" method is the best way to learn.
Variables are not that important to learn at the beginning. First you should begin by learning the basics of triggering. When you get more skilled you can try out variables.

Event
A guy eats taco.
Condition
Action
If, then, else Condition
If Value of taco_left = 1+.
Then - Actions
Eat more tacos.
Set taco_left = taco_left -1
Else - Actions
Buy more tacos.
Set taco_left = taco_left + 5

taco_left is an Integer variable which in this case tells how much taco(s) are left.

I never learned how to use Jass and I'm used to use GUI because it is simpler.

Off-Topic

Oh I tought you said "I learned how to use Jass and I'm used to use GUI because it is simpler." lol my heart was gonna blow.
Anyway I checked it for 10 times and saw my mistake
I checked for 10 times because I know someone knows Jass wont say GUI is simple
