• Defeat
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters End of Maze <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Lives = (Lives - 1)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Lives Equal to 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Game - Defeat Player 1 (Red) with the message: Too many creeps lea...
      • Else - Actions
        • Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) the text: A creep leaked.

I'm assuming you know how a region works and to make units move along your "maze" for your TD, so I made the final destination a region called End of Maze. So basically when a unit enters this region, it means they completed the maze unstopped, so the player would lose a life. He simply gets a life deducted via the first action Set Lives= Lives-1. You can set what his initial value is by going to your variables or in initilization by settings Lives = something.

Then do an If/Then/Else, and if the lives = 0, the Defeat Command is under Game, not Player. And if the lives are not = 0, then you could Do Nothing, but I put a little Game message that says A creep leaked.

Thank you very much it worked! but for some reason the units (at random points in the maze) turn around and go back towards the spawn. (i turned off flee on all units)

try using player as a computer instead of neutral xy if you use neutrals.
There are a lot of problem with neutral units which are ordered to move
for instance: if you order neutral units to attack-move to centre of map and they go around something at lets say 1/2 of way, they will kill(or try to do so) those things and then go back where they spawned but if the units are player X they continue to go.
Good example is dota creeps, they are not neutral hostile but they are player 1(sentinels) and player 6(scourge).

Hope this solves your problems.

Ok new problem haha! The map after it saves doesnt show up in the save location of:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Warcraft III\Maps\My Maps
instead it creats a LINk not a w3x file here:
C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent
and when i click the link this shows up:
windows is searching for MyTdV1.w3x. to locate the file yourself, click browse

Now when i press saveAs it shows up there but with a yellow lock on the icon and after i save it isn't in the list anymore.
Also I can test map but if I Open WC3 and go to create a game The map doesn't show up in the list. Please help again and ty for all the help so far!

You have to Save As in a folder called Maps under your main Warcraft 3 Folder. When you go to create a game, the "list" is everything under the Maps folder. Just save it all there.

Also, to play downloaded game, its under a folder called Downloads, also in the Warcraft 3 folder.

Ah sorry then I dont know how to help you

 

[gorillabull]

i had the same problem back in the day with my maps all you have to do is not save it in your (C dirctory and then copy and paste it to the maps folder if i remember correctly

 

[Starquizer]

Make sure also that the file name is not too long as there are limits to the characters WC3 map list can read.
