newbie questions

[Serpent]

1)I made a new custom unit in the object editor, how do I get it on the map?
2)How do i change the armor/attack types to my liking?

first answer is you got to "Layer-Units" and then where is says melee in the box that shows up switch it to custom
second answer is you change the "Attack-Attack type" and the "Combat-Armor type"

ok i got the 1st one, but you got me wrong on the 2nd one, what i'd like to do is:change the portrait of an armour type, change its name, tooltip and how much damage it takes from various attack types.Also how much dmg reduction each point of armour gives(it is diminishing nevertheless)etc...

Its easy. Click on "Advance" button at the top and then search in "Gameplay Constants..." and "Game Interfaces...". You'll find what you want.

Okay, thanks for your help so far, but i'v got another one and i thought I wouldnt make a new htread for it:
How do I open and/or edit already existing triggers?In the trigger editor, there is only 1 category:initialization, and only 1 existing trigger under it:melee initialization.so what if i want to edit an ability or something like that?

Have you made any triggers yet? Those are the triggers that come with any map when it is first generated. You need to put your own triggers in there. If you are opening someone else's map, they may have used a program to make it so people can't see the triggers, like ihatehippies did in his map Zerg Infestation.

The abilities are hardcoded into warcraft, so you'd have to write your own abilities from scratch.

Serpent, are you refering to the triggers that the campaigns use for stuff? To look at those, you will have to download an MPQ application and open the actual MPQ (the file that contains all the maps in the game). Then you can extract the maps and open them in WE.
