hey guys just working thru the basic's over here at the moment ( i saw beginner in the title :D ) and this tutorial is kicking my ass
for the first step, the Lancer
im having trouble when i get to configuring the events
open Event - Events + and create the following events:
Actor Creation
Animation Play: (Name: Beam1; Animation Properties: Death; Flags: [empty]; Blend In: -1.0; Blend Out: -1.0; Time Variant 1.0; Time Type: Duration)
Animation Done
AnimName: Beam1 (Custom)
Destroy
when i try to add in the AnimName Beam1 i cant pick beam1 from a list if i click custom and enter Beam1 with text it dosent seem to save beam1 in the text field is there something that this is referencing that i have forgot to link?
also im assuming that i need to delete all the events that are already in this actor when it is created.
edit
kk i found a workaround, i downloaded the tutorial map and converted that whole event tab into raw data, copy pasted the text into my beamtesting map and it works.
still no idea why i couldnt choose AnimationName Beam1 in the first place however, i think ima run thru the whole process again
was my first time using this software (i bought sc2 2 days ago just so i can play about with galaxy) i found it very easy to follow this tutorial and i made a few mistakes (spent an hour trying to find out why i couldnt link to my race buttons, they were new dialog's not dialog items lol my bad)
but this has given me a brilliant headstart into understanding how everything interacts.
i love how you have made everything very clear and precise the order with which to do things and such, having the images there for those nested if-then-else statements and also being able to refer to your video's when i did get into trouble was very helpful.
also you didnt pull any punches man, as a begginer tutorial the scope here is massive, leaderboards, antiblocking, its mad!
i now have a fully functioning TD with tons of unique waves, next up more towers!
