Hello all! Long time no see ^_^

I'm back because I just couldn't get rid of that mapping itch I keep having :P

I was doing this map about a year ago (a Dune game remake http://www.sc2mapster.com/maps/predan00bs-dune-mod/ ) but I had to abandon it due to a lack of time. I was wondering if you guys think I should pick it back up now that I have some spare time, or maybe move on to a new project (seeing as this one is still early in development)

Any feedback is appreciated :)

Bump

I tried playing with the lighting settings of creep. I tried looking for the model of creep. But nothing seems to work.
I need to make creep either invisible, or give it a terrain texture. Is there any way to do this?
This is critical for me to do my map so help is GREATLY appreciated >_>

Dragon.1318 (EU)

Need to test my Dune map. Will also help people test their maps. Give me a PM or a message :)

Since college started I haven't had much time to continue with this project, so it's been going real slow. However I changed a lot of things since the first version, and I've added some new units.
Here is the link to the new version:
http://static.sc2mapster.com/content/files/457/584/PredaN00b_s_Dune_Mod_V0.3.SC2Map
http://www.sc2mapster.com/maps/predan00bs-dune-mod/

I've also published the map publicly on EU server for multiplayer testing under the same name as here: PredaN00b's Dune Mod V0.3
(I know it's far from ready, but I want to see how much people think the units I made resembles the original so I know what area to focus on in the map) So if you have some free time give me a PM ^_^

And of course this time you will find below a detailed description of the map ( unlike before :D ) Oh and thank you RileyStarcraft for helping me with the sonic tank. I copied the red circles because they were a nice effect :D

@Lucavious: Go

You mean like this?

    Events
        Unit - Any Unit owner changes
    Local Variables
    Conditions
        (New unit owner) == 1
        (Unit type of (Triggering unit)) == Xel'Naga Tower
    Actions

If you want it for all players, then just remove the New Unit Owner condition.

Anything like this? http://forums.sc2mapster.com/development/map-development/10977-building-without-having-a-probe-scv-drone/

Dude! Check the date on the thread before posting xD (And the last login of robert)

@JerreyRough: Go

Thank you for your reply :) Bifuu took care of it though :D
Thanks Bifuu!

Is there anyway to delete a project? I have a project which I want to delete but cant :(

@clawcity: Go

I hope it's working now :)

@RileyStarcraft: Go

My next question was going to be what the "index" is for! It works great now! Thank you for your help. You are pure awesomeness! :D

@RileyStarcraft: Go

Wow! Ok first of all thank you for taking so much time to help me >.< This is the nicest thing someone has done to me on the forums ^_^

I've tried playing around with the tesla tank a bit. I've increased the range of the weapon and the persistent effect to 8. The red circles are going up all the way to the end of the range, but the beam is still hitting halfway of the effect. I tried playing around with the host impact + and site ops+ of the beam actor. The results were much worse xD. I'm thinking of going with an effect similar to the red circles instead of a beam :D

P.S: Thank you for the outer point explanation. I had it figured out all wrong.

@RileyStarcraft: Go

Sorry about that. Should have been more clear >.<

Essentially I have an effect (persistent) that goes on for a certain distance in a line (till the outer point) in the direction the target unit. I know the effect is working because the units are being damaged properly. The problem however is the beam shows that it's hitting the first unit in it's path instead of the end of the line of the attack.

@JimyStyles: Go

Been a long time since I played footmen frenzy, but didn't it also use different units? :P Anyway good luck with your map. I'll play it when I have some time ^_^
