Need Mentor, New to mapmaking.

[Annihilaticus]

I never found a forum for general mapmaking disscussion, so im posting it here.

I'm new to the forum, WC3, and mapmaking. And I would really like to learn how to make maps. When I say that, I mean that I need to learn how to make triggers, how to import custom unit models, and skins. I have MANY Ideas, but my skill is limited to just editing terrain, making and placing units, items, and doodads. I Have the program needed to skin also.

All I'm really asking for is someone to teach me these things, I'm very open minded and learn quickly if explained well. If you want to, message me at my AIM address, XAnnihilaticusX. I would really appreciate it.

Come on people! 11 views and no replies?! Not even so much as a vote on the poll! I thought this was a community, and communities help one another!

ok when i find you in AIM messenger I'll help you.
I already added you. although i think the best thing to do to learn wc3 is just try things out inside the editor. I learned that way.

Why is this placed under "contests"? It is not really a contest, now is it?

 

[Master-666]

To make areas that charachters cant go into go into:

Doodads --> Pathing and sight blockers --> Then use the pathing Blocker (Both) and the Vision Blocker around the outline of the area you do not wish to be seen.

I am here

Well I do make custom heroes, abilities. Sorta ok at triggers. can't do make my terrain realistic.(blotches of grass in random locations)

All that by just expirementing (no help required)

Not meaning to brag.

Bottom Line: Just expirement, you'll be suprised what you can do.

Your pal
