I have come here with a couple of annoyances that has to do with the SC2 map maker, but first i'll introduce myself.
I prefer people to call me Stormy, or Troy if you like. Starcraft 2 is pretty much the only game i've stopped playing for a time, and then gone back to it, possibly a year or months later, the only one.
I started playing when i was about 9, and you'd think by now i'd be pretty great at it, well no not really, a good number of years i actually sucked constantly at it, and it wasn't until a year before SC2 came out i was able to beat a computer, or two at the same time as zerg.
Well, irony put itself on my shoulders since i now play as Terran, and i think i'm really good, but i always sucked playing them, even if i wanted to be good with them.
Aside from Starcraft, i like to draw, i have a youtube video series i do on many different games, and i am sometimes out of walks and stuffs.
I also like to be asked questions, so by all means go ahead and ask if you have any!
Now for my mapping problem.
I mostly have to complain how there isn't a single resource on blizzard's main site, that makes sense of atleast their reason to change Conditions from "Something you can understand at first glance" to "Warcraft 3 Boolean-type nonsense you need to be a math or coding wiz to understand how to use"
Also i want to make a hero which will revive itself automatically upon death at a building which can relocate itself. I haven't a clue how to make or apply effects or anything other than changing health, damage, adding shields and changing names, and stuff like that.
I think you'll find many people here that aren't entirely impressed with blizzard and have come to trying their own hand. You've certainly come to the right place. Firstly the majority of things done in the editor is in data, triggers, or an alternate; however as for you question/task you will want to look into triggering and particular variables both global and local. There is a wiki at the top with links to in depth tutorials as well as there are quite a few good tutorials on youtube. Be forewarned while the community here is extreme willing and helpful, the decent majority of them are selfstarters and can expect that you've started trying things beforehand. Best of luck.
Wow.. ... your posts are really eloquent.. i mean, to illustrate just how little sense of etiquette you have (weird .. the word douche comes to mind.. wonder why?)
Try as much as you can to feel at home here (if you like it of course), it is certainly a long (some might say "cool") and arduous time to discover stuff you can do in galaxy and how to do these things properly
at one point there was a mentoring system, and a dedicated thread, if you like to make friends with benefits (answering questions)
just read a lot (the number of threads and resources is huge) .. and if you like them, do go for the video tutorials
I have to agreed. I have yet to see any real quality work or even skill in data, triggering, ui or anything else from tainted's posts to suggest he does anything here other than troll.
Hey there Stormy! I'm Moz, the moderator who spams these boards with weird semi-inappropriate images, runs the Weekly Terraining Exercise and is usually less clever than he thinks. If you're interested in some forum roleplaying, be sure to check out the Forum RPG we have lying around for great funs.
So much for helpful links - if there's ever anything I can help you with, shoot me a PM. Welcome :)
Also, since my last post was deleted. and everyone elses post just seemed to be insulting me instead of answering his questions...
@Stormy
You can still go to the wiki at the top and hit tutorials, If you need anything you can PM me, or one of our other great members. There is a text tutorial called.
It wont automatically revive, I am going to fix this on my own map soon. sorry if I offended you, and if you didnt read the original dont even look at those idiots quotes where things are out of context....
Edit: Nvm, Your not 11 though your grammar sucks :P, just a joke haha, But was my fault should have re-read it an additional time to confirm that peice of information.
LOL, he said he started Sc2 when he was 9, plus if he was 50 and has MLP, imma start some REAL insults... Everyone knows theres a stoppin age for that.... it stops being cute and starts being pedophilia.
Like I said, it was a suggestion, it wasnt like I was telling him to Fuck off or anything
Except he didn't and you misread his post. Granted, it wasn't very clear, but you really are crossing a line. I've tolerated a lot from you Wisp, but consider this a warning. Your final in fact, since EW has also already had a say. Be smart and let it go. PM me if you genuinely don't understand your error.
I re-read and... hes not 11, though it is hazy, he said he loves Sc2 and hes go off and on, then says he started playing when he was 9, but if you go forward about 2 or 3 sentences then you can see hes much older. He says for years, and then go on to say he couldn't beat zerg until 2 years before Sc2.
so that was my bad. also Kids start 7th grade around the age of 12 in the USA, so i figured that was what grade he was in.
Either way hes older...
I apologize for calling him an 11 year old, and Retract my statement telling him to come back when hes older. and will edit my post to reflect that change.
Hello and welcome to Sc2mapster!
As a welcome gift, I hereby give you the permission to buy us all a round of drinks.
Also, don't get too attached to the spoon. I should be getting rid of it soon. should...
Anyway, Mozared already pointed out the Forum RPG, and... Uh... Damn, it's been a while since someone made an introduction post. I forgot my text. Dammit.
So yeah, if you need help with the data editor feel free to PM me, or just make a thread on the forums and someone is bound to answer.
Thanks everyone, and even without deleting Tainted's posts, i can take a joke. I can even make things a joke if i don't care enough :D
But anyways, Thanks guys for the warm welcome.
50 bucks he isn't 11 years old, and that he has a beard.
Also I have a beard, but i like to keep it short. If i don't then i end up evolving into a crazy lumberjack who kills critters and throws them at cars in the middle of traffic. :P

For some reason I had to think of this guy:

it wasnt a joke, i had thought you were 11 years old due to myself misreading your post and suggested that you come back when you were older.
