new to map making

[mullery1990]

im a complete noob to map editing/making and i was hoping you could give some kind of idea how to start off

 

[dragonmage1703]

yeah.
For beggining stick with making melee only maps.
dont chance any of the thingy's yet

try terrain - units and items
then test the map
(try to find the goldmine in your WE)^^

hmm
I would start by making Unit Enters Region triggers.
Like this:

Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters Rect 000 <gen>
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Kill (Triggering unit)

This trigger kills your unit when entering the region. Press R for region editor..

What ever you do DONT try making a multiboard

really as soon as you try a few basic triggers its easy, do ralles, then try to twist it by adding other events in (ie wait 2 seconds or order triggering unit to move to centre of map) slowly getting more advanced. then try variables...

 

[mullery1990]

wow thanks for the quick replys, but i have another question. Would it still be a melee map if i added brand new units to a race? e.g. giving the ors back ogres

 

[GST_Nemisis]

no that would make it non meele, i think, im not sure. but dont stick to meele maps try lots of different things.

 

[dragonmage1703]

that would make it non meleee, cuase you vchanged unit directory from hostile creeps to the orc race.
Honestly id say
EXPERIMENT. its not like you cant undo your mistake.

i am a noob to i cant even find where to make 1! lol

 

[GST_Nemisis]

lol start>all programs>>warcraft3>world editor

 

[Mastif]

wowee same question in another tread ARRG

 

[Titleist]

Mastif had me start off with making heros respawn, he then taught me enviroment triggers and a winning trigger. the only other thing i am good at is messaging triggers. if you want help with any of those instant message me. but i completely agree w/ dragonmage1703
