SC2Mapster

is there any way i can make it so people cannot add computers in the lobby for my map? i tried just kicking them when the map starts but that doesn't seem to work for me, and it would just be easier to disable it.

i tried changing all the players to "open" (in the controller section in game variants) then checking locked but this did not seem to work, because it wouldn't let me select that game variant in the lobby, it was there, just nothing happened when i selected it

@DirectorOfTheUED:

none taken, i left that part out because i thought he knew about needing to change that part for the position, since he didnt ask about it

@Obibun:

    Events
        Game - Player Any Player types a chat message containing "-name", matching Partially
    Local Variables
    Conditions
    Actions
        Text Tag - Create a text tag with the text (Text((Substring((Entered chat string), 7, 30)))) for (All players), using a font size of 24, at (Position of (Triggering unit)) and height offset 1.0, initially Visible, and fog of war enforcement set to false

this creates a text tag with the text typed after "-name " up to a string of 30 characters, (which you can change to whatever, as long as its higher then 7

i dont really know how to make it so -name needs to be at the beginning of the sentence, but there you go

@joecab:

or maybe its all that imported stuff?

@sixen: Go

So I am already using it... nice. But why is it called Galaxy Editor when there is no mention of the name in the editor itself?
----

blizzard referred to it as the galaxy editor for a long time before we got the editor, people just got used to it

@zRedFoxz:

there are global variables, you make them in the side pane where the triggers are listed, these wont get wiped after a trigger ends, and there is an action called select unit, just use that and for unit just select the hellion (which can be set to a global variable)

@zachdude:

if you mean you wanna try out a map you downloaded you can just drag and drop the map onto the sc2.exe and it runs the map

@vjeux:

viking map? is this a blizzard map that comes with release?

Quote from SystemSe7en:
Didn't sixen already post one of these threads?
----

this post was made first though

@Anonymoose:

its an actor message, called halo start

just use the actor message trigger and there should be a function (or value if the function one doesnt exist) called halo start and stop, just use that.

THANK YOU, been waiting for someone to explain how to do this....even though i still dont get it at all

Quote from AegisRunestone:
Wrong. You had to log in ONCE to use the editor in the US. I can use it fine, too.
----

i didnt, but alright (unless this counts logging into the editor before this was required, i was never really forced to or asked to) it just seems to be only be affecting some people

@Metrael:

isnt logging in to use the editor EU only? im in the US and i dont have to log in to use the editor

im using the beta of SC2 with the latest patch

@Metrael:

im using the editor just fine, are you not able to?
