I think its cool that people would come here to ask questions like these. Especially on mapping forums. It really shows how the place isn't just strictly to mapping but also just a cool place to chill and chat it up. :)
I wasn't even being rude or using foul language. How was I being a douche?
Regardless I'm going to change the name anyway. Its not like I can fight people with a ban button 2 inches away. While we're on the topic of douchebags, how bout that custom map panel QA
The data specialist was the only guy I liked. The Blizzard DOTA guy was okay not the best.. The rest were...ignorant. and just yeah..
I think your being quite rude, Mephs, or Samuel L. Jackson Jr the Third, Esquire. A Blizzard Representative sent you a formal and nice email, and you turn it around and reply to him with a butt load of crap. It really gives you popularity treating people like their dirtbags huh? It really shows on your character too. Who would want to play your map after you decide to treat that person like crap?
Hey. I'm trying to make a map and am having trouble getting it symmetrical. I was able to copy the bases but I can't get the outer part correct. Would anyone mind tossing a bit of help with it?
A variable is a piece of information.
For example, the variable "A" could store the number "15".
That would be an example of an Integer Variable - A variable that stores an integer (Any number without decimal points, negatives included).
However, variables can also store more advanced information such as Words ("Test"), Dialogs, and even game pre-sets.
Variables are very useful. Say you have this trigger:
Trigger "Player"
Events:
Any player types a chat message
Actions:
Send text message to Triggering Player to subtitle with text "Chat message typed".
That's all good, but what if you want to use the player who typed the chat message in another trigger?
That is where variables come in.
After this line -
Send text message to Triggering Player to subtitle with text "Chat message typed".
Add the following:
Set Variable A = Triggering Player.
Now, when you want to get the player who typed in the message, all you would have to do is use the variable "A".
In general, yes, it is data storage.
So what im getting is. If I need to use something more than once, I need to make a variable?
I have a couple questions about Variables, to me there very intimidating. >< I just need to know things like, what do they do? How do I know when to use them? Is it like data storage or something?
Will you release the map to the public when its ready? I'd really like to learn how to use these dialog boxes the way your doing. At least like email me the map maybe? :P I swear I won't republish. My code is Nova.892 if your worried about that.

hmm. I cant dl the map. When i click on it it goes to this static.sc2mapster page with all these weird lines of coding or something

@Eiviyn: Go
can you upload the map to sc2mapster so we can look at triggers for learning purposes then?

By that you mean, a download on sc2mapster? :D

I'd like to see a tutorial on making dialog boxes, maybe the more advanced ones. :)

Is it somehow possible to make a tree use a watermelon as a weapon and on contact have it explode?
