Hello everyone. I am a long time fan of the StarCraft games, but I am a new user of the map editor. I was wondering if anyone had any good starting tips or good websites or good threads here for beginners with the editor. I am mainly looking to make a map with heroes that have differing abilities, at least to begin with. Something very similar to City of Tempest. Any help would be appreciated.
For starters you could look at the wiki. There are some tutorials there. Make full use of the documentation for the galaxy functions there too. They help greatly.
If you look on youtube, OnetwoSC has some great tutorials, he speaks clearly and you can see whats going on. The tutorial is going to be alot of trial and error, and when i started i made alot of stuff that i found out later was uneffecient and cumbersome and i had to throw it out. It took me a long time to even get a basic grasp of the editor, so expect a large learning curve. Those tuturials are where i started, its best just to stick mostly to tutorials and look up what you want here on SC2mapster, there are alot of great tutorials.

Once you've put in at least 30 hours or so i would recommend this tutorial as a good way to start expanding into advanced triggers and whatnot: http://forums.sc2mapster.com/resources/tutorials/17969-dialogs-really-great-looking-dialogs-part-1/#posts
Fuzzy, Kali - Thank you both. That is a big help. I am on vacation, and will watch the tutorials. Will let you know how it goes.
