A few days ago I started looking up how to use the SC2 Editor, watching/reading various tutorials and trying to find online resources to help me in my quest to make a grand arcade map. I found out about sc2mapster looking at all the thanks sections of the custom games I like to play, so I figured signing up here would be a good idea. :D I have most of the core gameplay ideas fleshed out, I just need to figure out how to use the editor.
This is what I have so far. Terrain, two regions, and a smattering of points. I'm familiar with events and triggers from other map editors, and I know all about loops, arrays, variables and such, but I am going to have a hell of a time with the data part. From the tutorials I've seen, I gather that that tends to be the hardest and most unpleasant part in general. I have so many questions. D:
Also, hi. :D I'm Saltpeter and Starcraft 2 custom maps are like crack to me.
Looks like this was his first post, rest were in the "Do you consider yourself part of an organized religion?". Anyway, welcome to the fun, amazing, addicting, ridiculous, delicious, and depressing world of mapping.
Welcome to scmapster! Feel free to send me a PM if you need anything or have any questions ^.^
You'll get the hang of triggers very fast if you already have experience with WC3 or other scripting languages (which you sound like you do). Data editing is very unique to starcraft 2, but we've got enough tutorials for you to figure it out ^.^
