How do you turn a quest into a variable so that u can have more than 1 quest at a time? When you complete a quest, the only choice it gives you is, complete last created quest.... But I want it to turn in multipul quests at different times, how do u do this?

if you know how to create a variable in trigger editor, you have noticed that editor allows you to define variables of type quest and variables of type quest requirement. so once you create a quest, you put "set Q1 = (Last created quest)" as a next action and you can acces it later - for example, player killes some mini-boss and you do "Mark Q1 as completed" or a part of it instead of the whole quest...

the best way to learn that if you are still having problems is from blizzard campaign maps. they are all unlocked ad stored within mpq files in game directory. just play some campaign level ingame, see how thing work, then extract the map from mpq file and open it in world editor to look inside.

the directory on your system where warcraft is installed...
in your case probably c:\Program Files\Warcraft III\

go there; there are several big files inside:
war3.mpq - contains most files for reign of chaos
war3x.mpq - contains most files that came with the frozen throne
campaign maps for the frozen throne are inside War3xlocal.mpq...

those are archives. find something that can extract files from there. i use a plugin for total commander but there are standalone programs...

enter maps subdirectory inside a mpq file and extract one or two...
