I have been trying to go through some of the tutorials and it seems that many are from back in beta times. Not everything in the map editor is the same as then so I am wondering if there are any more recent ones? I am particularly looking to learn how to make auto-spawning structures such as in Marine Arena or Zealot Frenzy. I also have had a little bit of trouble making new units and when I have tried to follow tutorials the pictures etc., aren't quite the same as those older versions so I have always ended up with some sort of bug. So. . .any help would be appreciated!
I have seen a youtube video of it and I also kinda get how to do it. Basically you issue an order to the barracks to train a unit and set the units cost in data to be zero minerals. You also need to tell it to repeat. Another way to do it is by point. Create units for player facing angle at a point is what you want.
Edit: for the second method you need to add I forget what its called but every certain amount of time event.
I know nothing of issueing an attack order to the last created units though :(
There are no real differences between the beta editor and the current one, some features were added in terms of script functions but that's more or less it.
Some new icons on the current version but if you can't figure that, well yeah.
i think its a trigger. Also OneTwoSC has a map up called sheep wars which has a building spaw creeps every 2secs. If he would allow you can download his map and look at his code
First- Don't post requests in the tutorial section (I think, correct me if I'm wrong)...Second- You can do it several ways, all of witch require triggers. You can pick each structure and spawn units via triggers or you can order structures to train units every time one is completely trained. And I've got some tutorials in my signature, all of which were made after the beta was long gone. They're not about this specific thing you want but still good knowledge for newbies. =D

Wtf haha people keep saying I made this 'sheep wars' map and I forget and don't even know how I'm linked to it. I never did anything on that map and I completely forget what it even is lol.
Thanks for the replies. I am new and trying to figure things out. I actually have made structures auto spawn by I am trying, without success, to get a periodic timer to use variables. i.e. if the unit is a zealot the periodic timer will be every 6 secs, if it is a zergling every 2 secs, etc. I am going to check out sheep wars.
