Hello everyone,
First of all I want to say that I'm french so please forgive me if my grammar and semantic are horrible - I have a lot of vocabulary in english, but sometimes my sentences are real messy.
My real name's Léo, and I'm living in Brussels.
22 yo and completely an average player.
I'm throwing myself in the editor, have a LOOOT of ideas but it's disturbing the first time you launch the editor you kinda know what I'm saying for sure ;)
I did a research on the forum, but didn't find anything about my problem, so i suscribed cuz I expect to have more and more issues when I'll be mapping.
I hope to fit in well in this community.
I think that's all.
Now I'll be searching a little more about my problem before posting a new thread.
See you soon everyone.
its great to have you. The editor the first jump in can be very overwhelming, Even more so if you have not used a blizzard editor before.
Check this out hopefully your find something of help here.
List of tutorials
if not as you already are doing we have a bunch of helpful people ready to help if you need to post your question.

I'm in fact reading some tutorials, it will take me time I guess, but maybe my answer's in it who knows.
Actually my aim is first to put the editor in french, without changing my game that is in english.
I'm checking if I can download directly the fr-FR.sc2prefs somewhere to update the editor.
It's true that it can only improve my english to keep it in the shakespear language but like you said it's very overwhelming when you notice all you can do with this powerful tool that i'm stuck and don't know where to start (data, triggers, map cfg...) even maybe coding but don't get too greedy at first I think ^^
If I find a way I will certainly switch back the locales when I master it (if a day I master it).
Does it mess up with the "Param/value/name" if I create a map in FR localization but naming all the datas and events in english ?
There was not a french language version of the game? usually with a game spaning multiple countries there would be... Anyway, I am new as well and also have ideas I want to try out. I am younger than you so if I can learn it so can you :) Good luck.
I don't really see the clue in the age argue but thank you for cheering me up :)
And yes I could have bought the game in french, but I never buy or install games in french, same thing for movies or tv shows, cuz translations are pityful...
This is just for starters that I need this in french, next I'll step back to english.
I think That I'll start with a simple TD to experiment some mechanisms.
If I may, I would suggest to use the english version of the editor. I am german and looked at the german version of the editor, and I find it to be extremely hard to, for example, follow tutorials with it. Especially if you need to modify very specific fields, which might be translated in a different way you might expect. Also the translation was lacking and screwed up the ui quite often.
From my experience, it is easier to learn and work with the english editor.
Actually, I've let down already this idea to switch in French.
I was following an example of "onetwosc2" for making a simple TD, but I noticed that I was manipulating without really understanding the purposes of all his manipulations.
Not on the mathematics and triggers, conditions etc... parts but on the data editor.
I did a photon cannon duplicate, affiliated with the custom builder and everything, but He wasn't really explaining what were "actors", weapons, behaviors etc.... in details and what was the blizzard optic in the options compartimentations.
So when I tested my map, all was fine, expect the cannon was firing and all, (no texture and animations bug), but no damage to creep...
I'm stuck with a 35 damage cannon, not doing damage if you see what I mean. And this since 2 hours long without knowing where to look.
You can always ask him on his youtube page or comment on the video. He usually answers but you can also look at other tuts he has. Some might go more in depth then others in similar areas. Actors still get me also. I'm not entirely sure how to use them but it's been explained to me but I'm just not sure.
