Whats best type of map to get more familure with the editor?

[xXPoLiSh_DuDeXx]

I know just the basics of the editor(Terrain, real basic triggers, basic object editing, etc), but what kind of map is easier to make for a beginner? Would a Hero Arena, AOS, RPG, survival game, etc be more easier to start on?

Depends. Take a look at Blizzard's maps. For example if you are making an AOS map, you should take a look at Extreme Candy War, a blizzard map from the latest patch (1.18).

Btw you made a double-topic (lol) -.-

Agreed. AoS maps are fairly simple, but have a sufficient number of triggers to help you learn the ins and outs of triggering. Those are a good place to start. If you ever get lost, ope up a blizz or costom map and look at the triggers and see how they were done.

After my opinion Escape maps/mazes are the easiest to make (thats why theres so many crappy ones ). They are good for starters.

If you dont know what Escape Maps/Mazes is its maps like Escape Gay Heaven, Maze Of Frostbite, Escape Shroomworld, Maze Of Evil etc.

If you dont like Escape Maps/Mazes I suggest what the other two said with Aos

Doh sorry bout the double topic

anywho I might try with an AOS, but one question how do I make the trigger for choosing heros in taverns? I only know of the Circle of power hero selecter.

lol ...another double post ...and im pretty sure it's just like a tavern but you add custome heroes in it just like you would do to a shop

Hes asking how to make the player able to choose only 1 hero. If you choose a hero, you can choose another and another. And that's not intentional (duh). I don't know how to do it, but you don't need that advanced systems. Just use the circle of power thingy. It's easy, and it's good for beginners.

ol ...another double post

LOL!! The double action guy lol!

he can set a wisp to browse the taverns ....and set a triger to remove remove wisp after a hero has been selected....that should not be hard at all

 

[Rui]

Yes, but the taverns have to be distant, or the player can use the hero to choose another. And btw, he could blink, so use this;

Events:
A Unit enters Hero Selection Area

Conditions:
(Entering Unit) is a Hero Selector equal to false

Actions:
Move unit instantly to Hero Start Zone


Hero Start Zone = Region where the hero is teleported when the Hero Controller summons him.

Ah thanks. I think i'm just going to use the circle of power thing since its easier heh.

Also about the double posts I wonder why it keeps doubleing for me. I click submit just once =/

 

[ssj2_Gohan]

you can use a "click the hero you want" trigger ....i saves up space that is used up for the wisp to travel from one point to another and the circles of power.

 

[Rui]

You could delete one of the posts >_>

You can do it as it is done in Extreme Candy Wars 2004 - click a hero to know more about him, click again to choose.
