Need help with my RPG.

[ThE WaFfLe]

Hi,

I'm new to this site, and new to the world editor. I made a couple maps with the Starcraft Campaign Editor, so I understand how triggers work and forces and stuff. But this world editor trigger's a lot different. And this may sound stupid to you experts of the editor... but here it goes: I'm making an RPG, and what it has you do first is select which race you'd like to be a part of. So I have four circles of power and each player has a peasant they use to select which race they're choosing, but how do I make a trigger that'll activate once the player's peasant enters the region? Any help would be good, thanks.

 

[Eusira]

Better if you don't use worker selectors. Something more advanced is preferred like selection

Also, you should balance your RPG out and make sure you don't overpower anything, but don't underpwoer it

 

[ThE WaFfLe]

Ok, but lets say I am using worker selectors, what do I do?

 

[MrMaestro]

Well, it would be even better if you used a dialog box. However, here is what you should do.

***Create a reigon for each circle of power***

EVENT: A unit enters reigon
CONDITION: Entering unit is equal to Unit selector (or whatever your selecting unit's name would be)
ACTION: Run/Turn on Trigger 002 (whatever the trigger you want to run).

Make sure the trigger you want to run is initially turned off if it is one that repeats itself periodically.

or you maybe should open some maps with unit selecting system. Warchaser should do if you want to use worker selector.

 

[Hemlock]

I think that Beantony has the best solution, And Eusira if you say that you might make it more advanced, why don't you give an example with it on how to make that 'Advanced' thing of yours.

Warnicro, Eusira just give some more solutions for future and this is also good !
____
P.S. Eusira wanna see some of your maps toooo
_____
P.S.S. to the owner of this topic: make a terrain as better as you could ! Beautiful landscape+doodads + weather elements will be the perfect things for an RPG..as an example i may give to you D&D map at this site ( pity that that map is protected? but i could give to you the lighting script written by me. When the rain is going on at random time it used a flashbang and a sound of lighting and a lighting effect near hero)

 

[Hemlock]

Well I wasn't mad at him in any way just expressing my curiosity.... Maybe it was a bit offensive sorry.

 

[VampireKB]

I also work for about a year with Starcraft Campaign Editor
and i may say that you'll see a lot of new things

some triggers here are easier than there, some harder

As an example movement at SC editor MUCH easier than here

+ there you may correct anything simply double-clicking at unit..(making him invincible or invul. for example...here it's only the script.


I wanna just to say good luck

 

[Hemlock]

Ehmmmm.....Bumb...Ouch...What is the meaning of your comment if I may be so kind to ask you?

 

[ThE WaFfLe]

I find the SC editor to be much easier than this... World Editor seems to be much more advanced. Simpler can be better, am I right?

 

[Eusira]

For example, instead of a slection system, let them pick their hero first, and give them options (like elemental specialism, starting point)

Vampire: I'm working on the arena, and it's turning out great. I only have weekends and Fridays to do it
