Hello everyone,
I have recently picked up map making during the recent beta downtime and like many other people, I have a LOT to learn. Through these forums and other tutorials on youtube etc. I am starting to get a decent grasp on the whole map making thing. The one thing that I still really don't understand too much is the data editor, more specifically making custom abilities. A lot of the terms are somewhat unfamiliar to me and I don't completely understand how to use everything, for example the different types of effects and behaviors. I've noticed that a lot of people are in the same boat that I am, and as far as I know, there aren't many tutorials that talk about using the data editor to make custom abilities too extensively.
So anyway to get to the point of this thread, I think it would be a great contribution to the community here at sc2mapster, as well as the map making community in general, if some more experienced map makers could throw together a few tutorials not only on how to make custom abilities, but to explain the basics of the data editor and how to use everything. I don't know if this is too much to ask but I think something like this would be very helpful to anyone, like me, who is fairly new to the map editor.
Thank you in advance to anyone who does end up making such a tutorial, and to those who have already made tutorials about anything regarding the map editor. They make it a hell of a lot easier for noobs like me and they are greatly appreciated :p lol.
