If you are using the standard units then it should just work; if you are using custom units then it is a fairly lengthy task.

i used like model units

 

[tagg1080]

If you didn't use the premade units, and just replace the models, then you have to do a custom AI, which is not a simple "whip it together" thing. If you just change the models of the existing units, I am pretty sure it will still work.

umm what i did was i went to object editor and just change what the units looked like, so how do i do this

If that is all that you did, then just run the game like you normally would, and it should work fine.

Set the players to user/computer, make sure you run the AI script, and spawn the right units, and you should be fine.

The trigger that comes with all new maps:

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Melee Game - Use melee time of day (for all players)
    • Melee Game - Limit Heroes to 1 per Hero-type (for all players)
    • Melee Game - Give trained Heroes a Scroll of Town Portal (for all players)
    • Melee Game - Set starting resources (for all players)
    • Melee Game - Remove creeps and critters from used start locations (for all players)
    • Melee Game - Create starting units (for all players)
    • Melee Game - Run melee AI scripts (for computer players)
    • Melee Game - Enforce victory/defeat conditions (for all players)

Have that one.

It should work just like a normal map then.

oh wait i made custom units is that a problem?,ohhhh thats what u meant... umm so how do i work this

 

[tagg1080]

You would have to create a custom AI, which I am not going to even attempt to explain how to do.

Sorry, but can't help you with that, maybe someone else can help you with it.

If you have no idea how to write vJASS decently, don't bother reading any further after this period.

You know vJass?
