Noobie question

[Demonslayer44]

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing there is a way to see the coordinates of something in your map? I want my things to be symetrical so they look good and I could use some help with that.

Also I want to make a cliff larger that 8 (shape of a circle), is there any specail way I can make it so it comes out a nice perfect circle without working on it forever?

I look forward to knowing you all and getting better at map making

1. When you hold your cursor over the Editing Area, you are given coordinates in the bottom left. X (left), Y (top), Z (height)
2. As far as I know, unless you have some 3rd party tool, there is no way to tell coordinates of exact locations of doodads/units without triggers.
3. You could also use a grid to help with keeping things a-symetrical. Go to View, Grid, Large/Medium/Small.

Also I want to make a cliff larger that 8 (shape of a circle), is there any specail way I can make it so it comes out a nice perfect circle without working on it forever?

I haven't experimented a lot with it, but there is a 3rd party editor that should be back on the website soon that might allow a larger size than 8.

But as I said, little experience with the tool itself, and am not sure.


Hope it helps -

The 3rd party tool is called world editor unlimited and does NOT allow you to make a cliff larger than 8. However... This tool allows you to make hills going straight up. With the use of proper terrain textures you can make cool-looking and realistic cliffs.

agreed ^^

I must admit that is confusing having terrain, map develepment and world editor zone separated, especially for those from wc3search where these were all in one forum.

Maybe we should make an exam for those people where they have to move certain topics in correct forum.

Ok. Terraining is for posting screens of terrain & getting feed back about terrain ONLY.
Map Development is when you are releasing a map and you need beta testers or you want feedback.
World Editor Help Zone is general help for just bout anything.

Sorry if i got one of those wrong
