There are many tutorials on how to make a TD. Try searching the Tutorials section and you'll find plenty. Also, googling it doesn't hurt, does it?

Here is a "template" for a TD...
It's an old project, I've removed most leaks, but didn't remove them all, I've made this 2 years ago, so some triggers are still not up-to-date, but it should do.

You will need World Editor Unlimited to open this map

This includes:
  • "Special" Levels
  • Working Spawn-system
  • Working anti-block
  • Builder switch-system
  • Attributes = player stats
  • 5 Difficulties
  • Solo/Team-mode (every player can choose for himself, everyone who picks team will be added to the team, the other players will go solo.
    The solo players can choose their own difficulty and will lose their own lives, the first player of the team will be able to choose the difficulty and they will share their lives).
  • Fully GUI (Do not copy/paste anything that has been added by WEU!)
  • Working active multiboard.
  • Fully implemented, attractive tooltips
  • Good description
  • Upgrade-system (tower upgrades take literally 0 seconds to upgrade)
  • Good sell-system (you can sell multiple towers at the same time, the towers will sell immeadiately after you click).

Well, pick everything you need from this map, but try to understand everything!
Change some things, see how it works out, that way you learn faster.

And, I will say it yet again:
Do not copy/paste anything that has been added by WEU!
It was a mistake to use WEU in the first place...

Edit:
Attachement wasn't uploaded yet -.- :D

Why do you need tutorial? Just do it all yourself, that might even go faster. The only import thing to know is that you best set turn rate of creeps to 3.00 and collision size to 1.00.

Sorry to tell you, but these are the least important in a TD. demonspy needs to decide a lots of things before worrying about collision. Do as ap0calypse said and you will have a good idea of what it takes to create a TD.

It's as Kercyn sais: a TD isn't about that...
A TD is based on functional triggers and systems, spawn-systems can be made in a lot of different ways, each with it's own pro's and cons, I personally believe that mine is the easiest to modify (that's a personal choice then) and contains the least triggers.

That isn't the only system, though... in a TD you must make sure that there are no bugs whatsoever (lives can't go below 0, you don't lose 2 lives for 1 unit, there are no problems with special waves, ...), as they will all ruin the game.
So you need some good systems, perhaps some custom, triggered abilities, a good - effective - multiboard (I've made about 6 sketches op possible multiboards, just so it would look good) and of course your own original ideas.

Other things, like tooltips, working hotkeys and correct upgrades are also very important, probably more important than the collision size and turn rate (which isn't even necessary).


Well, I hope I've helped you, demonspy
