[elgordonet20]

Dude right now I am making a mass map...what I want to do is that each 250 kills each player change the spawning unit for another stronger (change the lv.1 spawn for lv.2)

Please could you help me with that?

[elgordonet20]

when you put the beacons why didnt you put the 4 players' beacons instead of just player 5's beacons.

Good tutorial dude...keep it up :)

[moyerman2000]

i need help with triggers, me and my friends play on a lan server and i'm trying to make us a survival map like where we have to kill many infected Terran. i add the enemy in starcraft campaign editor but it doesn't keep them there when i start the game.

[hobomoglin]

EVERYONE! How to play your custom maps is save them to:

Starcraft Folder>maps>Download.

thumbs this up to keep it alive!

[Vildnumsen]

@p4ulk1m94 i really dont get it

ive done exactly as you tell in your video, but I still cant get the different objects to trigger when i bring a unit from the selected player near it - wither its a door or a turret

please help!!

[ustupidshit]

How can i make my map to be "use map settings"?? Why cant i use heroes?? Please reply i need help!!!

[chuckyisman]

I can't seem to load my map. i'll make a couple maps, but then when i go to the game to open it, it doesnt work... any help please. i was playing with it all night and i couldnt figure it out.

[TheJackAtttack]

What triggers would I use to spawn a Kakulza to attack the player and after it's killed have another one spawn and attack again in 3 minutes? They player has to destroy the cerebrate to stop the Kakulza. Thanks.

[TheJackal501]

Hey man, how do I make the player lose the mission if the unit hero got kill

[MrSpiffy702]

It's been a while since I've tried this. I'm trying to make a multilayer melee map and can't get the triggers correct. It starts the game with no buildings at spawn points and gives an instant victory since victory condition is no buildings for enemy force. I don't want to put a starting building since I want to change enemy force at random. Any ideas?

[Ivan80MetAL]

oooh a've bin tring to do this about an hour...why they didn't make it simple like in age of empires :(((

[xxColdshadow]

For be honest I don't understand this very well -.-

AND I HAVE 1 HOUR IN THE EDITOR TRYING A LOT

[80mars]

[windwakerlover555666]

I have a HUGE question when I open my map it runs like a normal game????? I changed the triggers for a normal game (deleted) and no triggers well work!

[kenny66567]

how do u make random tirggers of someone to be evil, zombies, etc..?

[DeathUmbreonDS1732]

Protoss? Ha! Zergs are way better then those puny things!

[darrendude1998]

@DeathUmbreonDS1732 no way i can beat zergs hands down with protoss

[DeathUmbreonDS1732]

@darrendude1998 Protoss suck, Their a waste of valuable space of the map. Zergs can mark the territory so the enemies cant camp right next to their Minerals and Vespene Geysers. So I could dominate you on Starcraft. As zerg, so eat it SUCKAH! >:D

[LeonPowalski1]

how do i put terrazine in a map???

[TheXeno2000]

[Wolfy753]

[jeeanelle]

how do u stack sunks?

[KGD10]

I want to play with my friends online, against computers, but on a map i made. the problem is, when i choose the map and select ''use map settings'' the computer just stands there the whole game. the drones don't do anything.

can someone help because i am bugged with this since a long time. thanks

[21beastmann]

how do u make the terrain squared?

[omgreally666]

@21beastmann There is a box that you can check that does it for you, or you could not be lazy and match up the length and the width.

[hi73701]

This doesn't really help.  no afence.

[Jaw3300]

How do you make allies and be able to control them because I'm working on a mission where your playing as a terrain task force (red terrain) sent to help a terrain base (purple terrain) save a protoss world from the zerg (blue orange and yellow zerg) Also the teal Protoss is here to help you. ( basically Red terrain, Purple Terrain and Teal Protoss vs. Blue, Yellow, and orange zerg. )

[ArgentDawn55]

How do u find the game you made

[KGD10]

@ArgentDawn55 you have to save your map in your computer: disc C > program files > starcraft > maps > broodwar. then when you play your custom game, select your map and if you want it the way you created it, lets say with units you placed and specific already selected teams with civilizations, choose ''use map settings'' instead of free for all.

[killermasta7]

lol at 3:25 u writted otehr instead of other

[LolsitzGeorge]

you know how you have theses "high grounds" that only air units can get to? but there can also be a ramp, how do you make a ramp. i can't find it anywhere

[starfoxfxfreak]

@LolsitzGeorge If you go to doodads, you'll be able to find them. Just look at every doodad. You'll find them.

[TheJonnyNam]

Nvm, I figured it out. Rather simple just unchecked Random spawn in the forces menu. But I would like to know how to stack minerals if anyone knows.

[omgreally666]

@TheJonnyNam Couldn't you just edit it's characteristics? As in you make it a custom mineral deposit.

[TheJonnyNam]

I have a somewhat minor prob. How do you get the forces to stay the same color they were in editor?

[SheriffCarruthers]

god these triggers were so hard to figure out. I finally figured out how to do them, and of course I forgot. Thanks for the video, its helping alot.

[DareD3viLl]

How do I get a game to work so the computer is my ally??? whit ally trigers?

[wierdguywithchair]

How do i get the computer players to attack or build anything because all the do is send one or two to gather minerals when they have three that can?

HELP PLZ

[Hamzatoss]

you need to set the trigger conditions to "wait = 0 sec" then for the action-trigger you use "Ki-Scripts....Zerg/Terran/Pro­toss....insane (or others)" whatever you prefer, that should work. Keep in mind for what player you use that trigger for

[justinjosue053185]

question. how do you preserve a trigger with a condition? for example, the ai needs to have 1 deaths of spawning pool to summon 12 zerglings. so that everytime i kill 1 spawning pool, it will summon 12 zerglings. when i use preserve trigger it just keep on summoning 12 zerglings when i kill just 1 pool.

[frog654456]

how do u get the ai to fight each other

[kittylactose]

how do you make a unit a location so a unit can spawn from that unit like in those rp maps?

[43GIBBS]

i cant make the ememy units mine how do u make them mine for resources?

[yop199552]

hey bro , i have a question , how do i modify the pylon to be stronger , becouse i go to the building properties and its useless

[pobey]

Does anybody know how I can set a unit to do exactly 0 damage?

[nekpek]

this can only be done if you use an advanced map maker like scmdraft (i dont use this one so i don't know if ti got the feature)

[noobsaibot8]

yes got to scenario and go unit and hero settings click which unit u want and go damage then press 0

[Darkie4646]

Hey, I need help trying to make a single player campaign map, and when I play it, my opponents just sit there and not even harvest minerals.

Can anyone please help me?

[paako2]

You have to use make locations using "Location Layer", rather than "Unit Layer" or Terrain Layer". Then, under triggers, create a new trigger designed for whoever, and Select elapsed time, choose the time, 0 if you want them to start doing stuff right from the beginning, and the choose run Al script at location. Choose what level you want them to play at, and the location the script runs. Hope this helps :D

[Darkie4646]

Thank You!

[fallout111111]

they started to harvest minerals but that is the only thing they do.what should i do?

[ishallkillall]

@Darkie4646

first you need to set the location(Ctrl L)

pull the box over the workers and the minerals

Triggers>always>Run AI scrip my location, then choose a difficulty

with this u can make one base a offensive and another just sit there and mine

[KinbJune]

This was really helpful!

[1045437]

got it but it dose not keep the stuf that i put on it so what do i do now

[paako2]

When you play the game, you need to set the map to "Use map settings". If this works but doesnt give you any computer opponents, that's because all the players are under the same team. Change humans and computers to different teams. this should help.

[AKuMA202]

buildings and it still woulnt work i have them set up as a computer player and everything

alittle lenghty sorry

Any solution, or can this even be done

[AKuMA202]

I've been messing around with triggers for about a week now and ive pretty much have it down except one neat thing i wanna do, basically at 30min into the game i want a mass of 200 zerglings to show up in the middle of my map and attack both team of players, but i just cnt get it to work.

I have it to elasped time 2100

create 200 zerg zergling at locatoin ambush for player Ranagade zerg.

and i even have a startling location for these zerg but no buildings or other units, i tried giving them

[hiSLDTS]

There seems to be alot of problems, I can help out..

You can NOT make the Computer actually play the game, it has to be controlled with triggers, such as,

1. Make a location, anywhere

2. Make a spawn trigger

-Players:Players 1-8(any)

-Condition:Always

-Action:Create X unit at Location X

Create any unit, at location X

4. Then, In the same tabs as Create units at location x, find order

5.And it would be self explanatory from there, I can answer PMs

[p4ulk1m94]

phew...so hard to answer these questions...most of them are simple. heres a deal... work with editor for atleast 10 mins before asking a question please... and thanks to the people helping answer! :D

[hiSLDTS]

Lol you really need help answering, theres alot of beginners..

Although we were just like these askers too xD

[thespaceviewer]

Hey if you can can you please help me find out how to place units on the field because whenever i do it wirks but when i actually play the level their gone.... it's the same when i make them rescuable :( please help and respond.

[paako2]

You have to "Use Map Settings" when you play the game. It under the options for Melee or Free For All. If you're still having problems, just ask.

[26andplaysgames]

@p4ulk1m94 hey sorry to bug you ive been tryin to figure out how to make a hero wars style map..where the hero unit has auto firing weapons kinda like out of war3 maps battle ships

[therunescapemasters1]

@p4ulk1m94 i have a problem. When i connect to editor i put acc name and pass but i kept getting the message"battle.net connection lost"

Id apreciate any info on this problem

[SantaNoob]

@p4ulk1m94 Hey p4ulk, I've been trying to find a tutorial on some edits. First, I need to know how to make it so that if a terran player lifts up a building, it destroys and spawns back unlifted. The next question is how do you make units unattackable?

[ustupidshit]

@p4ulk1m94 do i need to put a building for every start location???

[p4ulk1m94]

uh go to triggers, set condition to always, then trigger to Set Ai or something like that... then should be obvious

[p4ulk1m94]

uh go to triggers, always, then look for something with 'AI'.. dont remember everything, its been so long

[killpro6831]

theres no create units theres only create unit like wtf

[p4ulk1m94]

...um....yeah...

[MrFlyingEmo]

how do you make hp, attack or shield over 10000

[p4ulk1m94]

go to properties, unit, then check the first checkbox and change it.

[leavittobeaver]

sum1 plz help me on naming units i c u named units but what happens when upgrades have 2 units the same in the sAME GAME they hav the same name how do u name units individually so it only counts for pla 1 etc...

[p4ulk1m94]

u cant, sorry

[deefromott]

I'm creating triggedrs but they aren't working in my game. Do triggers not work with the original version of Starcraft?

Thanks for the video

[n8iveidiot13]

some certain UNITS may not work that are introduced like the lurker or medic uhh valkryi and the

[p4ulk1m94]

i think some..but if none work u probably didnt select use map settings

[TibyandDanny]

any1 know how to do armor,power,hp,shield bigger? and change name?

[deefromott]

when you create a unit in triggers, one of the steps offers you a "property" option.

[n8iveidiot13]

look in scenario and look at unit and hero settings and just click the check mark OFF so you can make your own changes to the armor power hp shield COST and the name and DAMAGE

[AZNphomaster]

Does anyone know how to use beacons to give you units?

[n8iveidiot13]

you have to use the LOCATION option in layer section... so you lay down a location with your mouse than you name it like _ location 1... than you can make triggers like..

Condition:

Force 1 bring atleast 5 marines to location 1

Action

Move all terran marines for force 3 at location 1 to location 2

this is just a basic thing to learn but it is very useful... use run ai script if you want an ai to patrol move or attack a certain location also... try testing online it might help

[leavittobeaver]

hey wat if i made 8 players i dont have a ninth for the triggers

[p4ulk1m94]

? u can only have 8 players...

[ILagable]

thnx ALOT ill suscribe u keep it up :D

[Em0KidCanPWN12]

@p4ulk1m94 hey i got a question when i start a scenario that i made, the other teams units do not move except when i come close to them and they start to attack, then go back to the same place where they were before attacking me... but they do not move, collect resources or build.

[HollyFackWTF]

How to make your own trigger, not default. For example in [Pich your deffence] mode (DoTa clone) there is "turn OFF share vision for player 1" how can i make something like that?

[sUUpErC00W]

I made a cool map with all sorts of things, but when i start it it says that i,m defeated...

*PS it is sort of labyrinth with enemy and the player has a standard army and with that army they have to survive. Wich game mode should i choose to make it work???

[ELMiguelitos]

gotta delete original triggers for victory and defeat settings

[sUUpErC00W]

Thanx :D

Always

Player X contains 0 of "Zerg Overmind" at location anywhere

[themayor787]

Errrmmm...

How do I get to that? O_o

[re6ter]

when you select your map,

in bnet. find you map, double click it. then you should find a little drop down menu. click it and hold down the mouse click and drag it down to Use Map Settings.

[azinboi117]

How do u set a timmer on when the units spawn?

[ajholmez]

You can select "wait", under trigger actions

[kyubipalex]

Making maps is so simple, you just have to take it step by step.

[konaboyzz]

PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ TELL me how to do beacons when you choose witch thing you want to mass

[p4ulk1m94]

I think its because of the map setting. You know when you play the map, there's a drop down menu on the game type: top vs. bottom, melee, use map settings, etc. Choose use map setting and it should work :/

[armanmando]

[AragarVarnus]

ScmDraft 2 is an excelent map editor

[KreatorOfDeath1985]
