SC2Mapster

ah okay :) Well, I'm running into a few problems with my map, but nothing too huge. I don't wanna post a million threads with questions, so I'm gonna start 1 thread and every day i work on the map, i'll make a list so i dont have to constantly ask new stuff

Welcome to sc2mapster. :)
Might I ask if your avatar is some kind of known figure ? Or you did it
yourself ? Looks kinda neat :D

It's called a heartless. From my favorite video game series and storyline of all time, Kingdom Hearts =D

P.S. This wikicreole thing is utterly confusing. I like the HTML way, such as how i did quotes here. I'm an intern and the only forum moderator for a game currently in beta (BattleDexGame.com, pm me [Bubbles] if you wanna check it out) and it's the standard HTML stuff :P Much easier

Ah finally got it, thanks!! Yeah, it never said that but when i submitted, it was denied and i was told (politely =D) that i need to include a pic

Also, test111 was when i was under a completely different impression, and i can't find where to delete it.......

But yeah, i resubmitted it with the picture, and will continue working, thanks to an awesome tutorial that ErrorAsh linked for me

I think this has already been made for SC2 (though the current version is not very good). I remember playing it early on after map publishing came out but I can't imagine that it stayed popular for long. You could certainly make a better version!

Well, i never saw it, but when/if this goes all the way, I'm deffinately going to say that the original idea is not mine, but I did make. I currently have the map made and unit pathing triggers done. That link with the 6part TD tutorials is working WONDERS.

All that's left is: Scoreboard Life system Victory when last wave dies Decide what unit with how much hp/speed is which wave Make towers stack-able Make more than just a turret available

also, still unsure how to upload a pic with my map, and i cant load my map on this site without an included pic..

thank yall ^{I'm lookin at the 1st link that ErrorAsh linked. I just made a list of what I need to add in, so this should be really helpful to just skim through and find exactly what I need. Also, i asked in my introduction thread, how do you upload a picture of the map when "Creating a map" on this site??}

Hi! I'm Bubbles, or Tucker, whatever ya wanna call me. I decided to start messin around with the mapmaker because I'm a musician (currently in high school) but the video game field is my fall-back, so i thought it'd be good to learn it. I taught myself a lot, but am still struggling with triggers and changing units. Also, this site confuses me deeply.. I'm currently trying to make a Turret Defense based on one from sc1, but when i went to upload it here, it was denied and i was told to include a picture. I must be stupid because (besides account avatars) I don't see where the heck I can upload this pic... Thanks for the help and patience

There were a few UMS games in sc1 i always loved, one of which was a turret defence that had a wierd path (will try to do it here lol): ********_____ ********l****l ********l****l Spawn ----l****l ************l ------------------- l l ---------------------End ignore the *s, thats to keep the lines where they are But anyways... Ive been reading tutorials and what not, and am quickly learning the map editor, but have a few questions. 1. How do you make custom units? I need to know: a. how to change unit health b. how to change unit speed c. how to change what an scv can build and for how much 2. How do you trigger a unit to move to another point? All i can figure out is teleport (move instantly) 3. When mousing over waves, how do i get it to say the wave's name instead of "Player 8"? Also, if anyone would like to help that'd be appreciated. Especially balancing about HP and stuff. Thanks :)
