Somnium - 3DS demo - StarCraft 2 Maps

I've been going to summer camps for the past 3 or 4 years now put on by people in the video game industry, and about 3 years ago this idea popped up. Now that i'm bored with plenty of extra time and know the basics of the editor, i finally have means of making a demo! ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED!

I'm a little rusty, as i havent opened my notebook in over a year but, i'll try to give a quick description:

Gameplay takes place in your nightmares. Crazy stuff happens in your repetitive dreams and you have to make the subconcious journey to the source. Similar to Psychonauts i suppose. I should also add that the main character is an artist. The main unique feature plays off of something called "Lucid Dreaming" - basically being able to do ANYTHING in a dream. For example: Oh no! You're trapped in a room with no way out! Take out your SketchPad and draw a door (this is why it's for the DS) and.. oh hey look, there's a door in the wall that leads to the next room!

"Somnium" is latin, meaning "sleep" or "dream". I would have named it Nightmare, but there is no latin word for Nightmare (and i assume there's a game i dont know about already made named Nightmate). It would have to be "Somnium Malum" -- Bad Dream

There are many worlds, but they all share the same sky.

@slightlyoff the attacking is a little odd :/ In the trigger i have it set to order attack, wait 2 seconds, and order stop. If i only order attack he wont stop attacking. So if you mash the button, then try and run, he'll be jerky for a little cuz of all the stop commands. There's a few things like that, but if you get used to it its nothing big ^^

Am I doing something wrong? The menu says left click shoots but I can't seem to shoot at all unless I do some weird ctrl+shift+attack move thing.

1.  What does being localized mean/do?

2.  Hold shift to use the real mouse

@SaucySC that should be fixed.  Let me know if it isnt

1. Not localized.

2. When I get to the High Templar, Param/Value box appears with 2 possible selections, also as Param/Value. However, since there is no cursor, I can't click on the choices.
