In the unit properties, set "unit field acquire response" to "passive" or "none".

I would personally probably check it out for some of my own map ideas. However, I haven't really delved into the RPG realm much due to the excessive amount of work compared to other genres.

The link in my signature has tons of tutorials. Good luck!

Every time someone "likes" a post of yours, the reputation goes up. A lot of people don't really use it. But yeah, wrong forum.

Last year you could start submitting ideas in August. It's now October and we've heard nothing. Are they not doing it this year? Or was that mutator contest they just held taking the place of it.

There are plenty of tutorials in the link in my signature. I'm sure those can help you out with what you need.

Was going to ask if they can make a feature to link multiple maps together for example StarCraft Universe would benefit greatly from this. Many campaigns especially have to be separate maps which I think makes it harder for people to get into and want to keep playing your stuff. The problem is when I log into the forums it says an error has occurred in the top right and I can't comment on any pages on the arcade, any of the other sites work. This happened like a year ago too, but it never really got fixed even after submitting a ticket.

There is an event that activates when a player clicks the mouse, so you could link that together with another event/condition that the ability to move the point was used, and then move the point that that location on the map where they clicked or the camera target of where they are looking at. That should be a somewhat low power method.

I have created a new set of tutorials covering topics including:

• New patch 3.5.0 content like the Transform Manipulators
• Extension Mods
• Basic UI
• Script Files
• Missile Abilities

They have been added to my playlist as well as the tutorial link in my signature.

You could make it into an ability, which would apply the behavior, then remove it after a second or two. Then you could set the cooldown to be 120. You can also check the autocast flag so it does it automatically, having the validator be when the unit takes fatal damage.

You could make a search area effect that takes place on the target jump area which would then be able to apply a behavior which would stun the unit. If you don't know how to use effects, try looking at a few tutorials in the link in my signature.

I tried this when my map got corrupted and I had to use starbank to get the file back. There is no way to do it as described in my post Here. However, if you import the file, it will run as normal. if you'd like to make it into the GUI triggers, you'll have to do it yourself. Luckily it isn't too hard to understand how to read it. It took me about an hour to interpret my entire map code and recreate it in triggers, but I also know my way around the editor and know which actions do what.

For example:

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Trigger Variables
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
trigger gt_MeleeInitialization;

The Above is where you declare all your triggers. this should be part of the script.

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Trigger: Melee Initialization
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bool gt_MeleeInitialization_Func (bool testConds, bool runActions) {
    // Actions
    if (!runActions) {
        return true;

Then if you scroll down you'll see this above snippet, which is the implementation of the trigger. The first part is the event.

    }

    MeleeInitResources();
    MeleeInitUnits();
    MeleeInitAI();
    MeleeInitOptions();
    return true;
}

Then right below the event you'll see the actions inside curly brackets, what you see above are the actions for the initial default trigger when you make a new map. You can sort of infer that it means these shown below in GUI triggers

        Melee - Set melee starting resources for all players
        Melee - Create melee starting units for all players
        Melee - Start the melee AI for all computer players
        Melee - Set default melee options for all players

This is really the gist of it.

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void gt_MeleeInitialization_Init () {
    gt_MeleeInitialization = TriggerCreate("gt_MeleeInitialization_Func");
    TriggerAddEventMapInit(gt_MeleeInitialization);
}

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Trigger Initialization
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void InitTriggers () {
    gt_MeleeInitialization_Init();
}

Not really needed to convert to GUI, but there are also these other two sections above which initialize the trigger in the script version.

I hope that helps.

You have to double check that the dragoons appear in the gateway or robo bay or wherever you want them. That is located in the Data section of the editor.

You might have to make another event in the ability actor not just the unit actor to do the same thing, only instead of tint color, I think there's an option for set tooltip, which you'd just copy paste and change the coloring parts. If not, you could probably do it through triggers, which I wouldn't recommend, but I'm not sure of another way. Someone else on this site probably knows a better way to do the tooltip part.

That's sweet! Now if only Starmon would be released...
