You are supposed to preload the bank with an explicit string (not a variable) on map initialization, open the bank, enable bank signature option, then check if it verified.
Unless you are referring to statistically classic games such as Tetris or Super Mario Bros., don't assume people know what you're talking about. Use a YouTube video example to describe it instead.

Create a global variable of type unit, use trigger action Set Variable to initialize that variable as the unit you want. The blue colored terms below are trigger parameters you can set, including the parenthesis which opens the order functions.

1. Left-click fires the unit's weapon
Quote:
3. If the player LEFT-CLICKS after giving a MOVE order then the unit should stop, fire its normal attack animation, and then continue the move order
Event: Mouse Clicked UI - Player Any Player clicks Left mouse button Down.
Action: Issue Order Unit - Order (THE_UNIT) to ( Stop) (Replace Existing Orders)
Action: Issue Order Unit - Order (THE_UNIT) to ( Attack targeting (Point((Mouse X position clicked in the world), (Mouse Y position clicked in the world)))) (Replace Existing Orders)
The unit will be issued an Attack move order. The unit needs a target unit to discharge its weapon (example: gauss rifle for marine). For the unit to attack the ground without any unit there, it must uses a splash ability such as Infestor's Fungal Growth. Read Data Editor tutorials to make your own "weapon" ability.
Using mouse clicks by trigger instead of the Command Card abilities will suffer from lag on battle.net.

A research ability (example: EngineerBayResearch) contains an array holding the researches/upgrades accessible by the # array index.
Example: upgrade "HiSecAutoTracking" of command "e_abilResearchCmdResearch1" is # index 0, and
upgrade TerranInfantryWeaponsLevel1 of command "e_abilResearchCmdResearch3" is # index 2.

Those who downloaded and read it, please give some feedback so I can clarify it for other potential readers.
What are attributes? HP? Energy? Height? Then use the function Unit Property to get the value, and store it to a local variable and modify it using the actions Set Variable and Modify Variable, respectively.
If you want to set or get custom "attributes", use the action Set Unit Custom Value (which act like an real array of size 64 with index/value pair), and use the function Unit Custom Value to get the value you assigned.
Be less ambiguous with your questions and you may get more replies.
I do not know if this works but you have you tried going to Game Variants and for each player's Controller attribute, untick the Computer checkbox (Removed Values)?
List Box (a dialog item) is a list of selectable options. The list items contain a line of stylable text to fit your need.
You can only add list items to the bottom of the list, but you can remove a list item at any index, which should be good enough for a quest list without categories. Create multiple lists if you want main quest and sidequest categories. Use arrays to remember which list item correspond to which quest.
SC1 Greatest Hits is a map containing many other maps that are SC1 remakes. I started this while completely new to the editor, and documented my learnings within the hundreds of triggers it uses: http:img121.imageshack.us/img121/5463/sghtriggers.png
I am releasing the map to public domain so prospective map makers (if there are any left) can learn by imitation and perhaps write their own game within the map, which is built as a framework. For more experienced map makers, I may interest you in providing numerous utility triggers:
- Mass catalog editing of tech, upgrades, and abilities cost
- Custom efficiently sorted leaderboard
- Custom alliance menu as in phantom maps
- Dialog animators: fade, spin, slide, morph, shake, whirl dialog and dialog items
- Tens more macro functions and utility custom actions
- Practical use of: banks, catalog editing, dialogs, leaderboard, player management, general scripting, AI scripting, unit properties
...in addition to teaching you how to write clean, organized, well documented triggers O:)
"it doesn't have any of Battlecraft, Golems, Crash RPG, Zone Control, Cat and Mouse?"
The games I chose to remake are those I had played often, enjoyed them, and know their basic ins and outs such that recreating them would be intuitive. The games you listed are indeed popular, but unfortunately I rarely play competitive maps, but rather cooperative vs computers. Cat and Mouse was originally on the agenda, but after VietMan release his remake, I realized that I don't enjoy the C&M genre enough to recreate one with the improvements a fan would have. I don't plan any RPG because they are taxing on the limited terrain available. For the other games, BC, Golems, and ZC, those are already available if you search the battle.net list.
If later I find it necessary to add a popular game, even if it's not my favorite, to garner more attention to the map, then I perhaps I will make one of the games you listed.
"its in us"
If after patch 1.3 is released and I still can't get a community to form, then I plan to release the map as open source so anyone can edit and improve it by themselves. My intention in remaking these games is afterall, to be able to play them with others.
And thank you progammer and Sixen for featuring the map :)
If anyone is curious how I implemented something in the map, I am enthused to help.
You should enable signature right after opening the bank, don't edit the bank before doing so. Your string did not match the signature because you stored it before the Set Bank Option action, which generates a signature based on the values currently in the bank.

Are the comments easy to understand? Is the map helpful?
If people are interested I can make a video demo of the dialog animator triggers, which can let you add more special effects to your map.

Open the attached map and read the triggers, they are commented. File - Test Document to play test the map.

I made the video more than month ago. The version on battle.net should be the most updated. What discrepancies did you notice?
I'm glad someone enjoyed the Waldo mode in Dodge the Rapierist, not to mention knowing it exists.
