Map help

[hellclown]

I am working on a map and need to know how to make a hero selection area.
Clarification: I need to know how to make it so that you can select your hero.
also how do you change the wisps name from "wisp" to what ever it is that I want it to be named?

Just mess up with the Object Editor (F6) and you will definitely get it.

or

You can simply read the World Editor Help.

What do you think that I did before coming here?

 

[h3k241]

I think I misunderstood your question >.<

I need the trigger(s) for making a hero selection area and (if some one has this) instructions for changing the wisp's name and abilities.

 

[Maddawg101]

Unit Editor > Create new custom unit
and start with a wisp, its that easy

For a hero selection area the basics would be like:

Map Initialization
Pick (all players) in players equal to player is playing and do action
Create 1 wisp at center of [hero selection region] for picked player

Unit - Unit enters region
Region equal to [hero1]
Entering unit equal to wisp
Create 1 (hero1) at [starting area]

Thanks but it would be nice if I knew what that meant can you clarify some of the terms in those instructions also what buttons do I click?

1 ) Make a region, this is the point where the wisp walks into to pick the hero. To do this press R while in WorldEdit and a new menu will come up, just draw a box on the land. Make another region, this is where the hero will appear once the wisp walks by it.

2 )Click the little A at the top.

3 ) Make a new trigger. Right click to add your events, conditions and actions.

EVENT

Unit - Enter Region < your region >

CONDITION

Unit Type of (Triggering Unit) equal to < Wisp >

ACTIONS

Unit - Remove (Triggering Unit)
Unit - Create < your hero > at < region 2 >, default building face.

okay cool and I obeyed your sig.

I'm going to be really blunt. You don't seem to have a grasp of the editor. I suggest you look around and explore before attempting anything major.

well yeah I enjoy playing other peoples maps more than making maps but i decided that it was time to give back to the map making community and make a semi good map that would be fun to play with friends and of course as you just said I don't know much about the editor terraining came easily enough the rest is still a mystery though.
