Simple Tower Defense p1 (Starcraft 2 Editor Tutorial)

[umadAlex]

um my sidebar has dissapeared someone help?



[wowstarcraft2]

when i clicked the build command it only showed 4 buttons plz help!

[thebakmiester]

Some of your data editor and stuff look completely different from mine

[22jLee]

Do you have a tutorial on how to make units defend certain players in a map eg. 3vs3 map sooo...i would have tanks or bunkers defending players 1,2 and 3 and players 4,5 and 6 - I would like to know how to trigger or data on that....

[kingmado007]

@thehappywarfare You can just custom it. I've done it and nothing bad seems to happen

[kingmado007]

@mrhybriid Thanks dude it works

[dbrooks7500]

why do i not have the same sort of listing???

[kingmado007]

Hey, your tutorials are awesome, but i'm having a problem with selecting different units... I can't seem to click off all the buttons.

[mrhybriid]

@kingmado007 just hit escape or space bar its one of those

[thetoecutter10]

I can't here him hardly and he doesn't outline his stuff. In order to learn anything I'm gonna have to watch this movie a dozen times ... sad panda

[thehappywarfare]

do I need to copy or can I not just costum theprobe itself ?

[ImJustHereToComment1]

stuck after creating the probe copy...a different window shows up, not the one adjusting the stats. Help?

[WaRSPiRiTUK]

Also is there any way to teleport a unit from say a structure to another structure of the same type?

[WaRSPiRiTUK]

How do I transform towers into different unit? Can I grant resources based on kills? I need a FAQ page for the editor please.

[OneTwoSC]

@WaRSPiRiTUK Transforming is actually not very intuitive. Resources is though; you can use the 'combat - kill resource' field on the unit.

[KiLinaT7]

what are you searching and duplicating when you open the data window ?!

[IceHarmony]

Hey man, this video was graet, BUT, my map is neather a zerg invasion map or a tower defence.

My map is melee (like normal) but I wanted waves to spawn at reagions to attackthe players base.

the problem: I don't know how to make unique waves (like in this video) that attack move to the players base (like in the invasion map) CAN YOU HELP! thank you in advanse

[RobinReesRees]

Map: Sending War

Try it out On Eu servers!! Just beta out. Fun Map! :)

[romes7]

use mikocope i cant see shit man

[Tarok21]

Any1 got a good map idea I want to make it like vexal but don't want to copy it

[SpeedyVT]

I am working on a really cool map/concept I need some help but the video isn't quite informative enough for me. Also is there any tools I can use to simplify the Data option? Copying and adjust seems to bug the Editor out.

[beanerbut2]

the shape reminds me of a penis..

[108arno]

i Got 1 more question mine doesnt say victory at the end and i have no clue how to make that :S. ty for the fast answer on my other question :D

[chpops]

So I was watching your video and was wondering how you got the unit editing in that text format or is that only in beta?

[OneTwoSC]

@Rubikes100 Look up my photon cannon duplication tutorial. That should clear A LOT of issues you may be having with regards to understanding the proper way to duplicate as well as fix broken things.

[KamilTheKhan]

Great tutorial, however like ramprire said, in the game (not beta) there is no build ability to check off WHILE duplicating it. It only has attack and gather. Please help?

[OneTwoSC]

@KamilTheKhan Hmm I don't know about that... it should be there when you duplicate unless it's a bug... any builder unit like scv or probe should have it... maybe it's not called build?

[KamilTheKhan]

@OneTwoSC thanks for your reply, but no, this is not a bug, i am pretty sure they have removed this functionality.....do u still use the editor? If so, you should check for yourself, the only options I have to check are gather and attack.....

any help?

[darkrsq]

How do u upload maps to the game from the editor mode?

[hypnocSlayer]

i just need to know hot to use the regions....

[ORCA4312]

How do I PLAY the maps I make? I can't seem to access them within the game.

[hypnocSlayer]

@ORCA4312 i think you put them in a certain file in your computer (i think its the maps file in the sc2 folder) dont know how to get them on battle.net tho

[Kristhor]

i wanna make something like tower defence, but the start for the players is same as in any melee map

[Kristhor]

why starcraft 2 map editor had to be made so damn difficult...

[tenkeychy]

Do you know why when i do make a map my nexus doesnt have any energy?

[Mr12toe]

Why not edit the original model?

That's what I do. And I have all the sounds, animations, everything...

[nethersoul62]

eh are you the creator of OneTwo TD? if so, really good job making it haha... much more entertaining than other TD's.

[OneTwoSC]

@nethersoul62 Yes lol thanks. I'll be doing a tutorial on it soon.

[ochiedemers]

@nethersoul62 

[ochiedemers]

I hate this video. Not the info but the lack of slow pace. I am constantly clicking back and back over again cause hes rolling through the clicking.

Good Info CRAP presentation

[Erikperik93]

@ochiedemers try the pausebutton! I find it very useful!

[ochiedemers]

@Erikperik93

Yes if I wanted to pause. Bring back up the editor. Do 5 seconds of changes. minus it again.....go back to video unpause and watch for 5 seconds....again....

Gets a bit annoying. I have viewed other videos that go slow and allow you a chance to keep up instead of going so fast that you cant go more then 5-15 seconds without having to pause....on a 10 minute video thats not good video making skills.

[Erikperik93]

@ochiedemers try the pausebutton! I find it very useful!

[Lavanoid98]

hey so i started making my own custom map and i kinda want it to be a 2v2^^...and here is the dumb question...how do i ally 2 players???pls reply

[ramprire]

When I duplicated the probe, there was no "build" ability... :O?

[OneTwoSC]

@ramprire In the duplication box or after duplicating it? If after, check the Abilities tab and see if you have anything there in green (means your map's).

[ramprire]

@OneTwoSC Sorry, I made a big mistake. You know how it goes to the MODELS tab instead of the UNITS tab when you first open the menu? yea.... did not notice :( I got it now lol

[BraveCoward01]

@OneTwoSC request if you can you know how to make a dbz map and how do you make a model? I want to know how to make one i wont be surprise if you say no i just want to make one thx either what ur anwer this did help

[zoidmaster2]

When you edit the probe, how do you get to the menu? When you change it's speed and radius?

[tommie4live]

i made one but i cant select any model. In the lower left window by u you have models and i dont have...

[xXSK83RXx]

Hey, im trying to make the MULE a builder how do i make him build different kinds of building because the build doesnt appear on the command card

[liquidmans05]

plz add captions

[OneTwoSC]

@liquidmans05 Lol it's already an insane amount of work doing these tutorials :(

[Starfox384]

i want to know how to make one on starcraft 1!!!

[darkdestiny0002]

@Starfox384

You can't do that Starcraft 1's editor isn't that advanced

[gnigged68]

ive gone through the data editor, and edited a new photon cannon and builder, and when i try to place the builder on the map in unit placement, its invisible, im guessing this has something to do with the model or art, or something to that effect. but i cant find the model feild anywhere to change it. any ideas?

[OneTwoSC]

@gnigged68 Actor for the builder-> Art - Model field

[gnigged68]

@OneTwoSC yeah, i was able to figure it out but in the end decided to just modify an actual probe since i wont be using probes in my TD, your guide is very helpful, ive learned more about this editor in 24 hours than i ever did in war.edit. im almost done with the core of my TD, ill be adding touches and things as i go, but its almost "functional" i do have another question though since ive got 4 players do i need to modify each player for a unit kill to show it in the leader board? example

[gnigged68]

Variable - Modify Player Kills[1]: + 1 Variable - Modify Player Kills[2]: + 1 Variable - Modify Player Kills[3]: + 1 Variable - Modify Player Kills[4]: + 1 Leaderboard - Set (Last created leaderboard) item text at column 1 and row 1 to (Text(Player Kills[0])) Leaderboard - Set (Last created leaderboard) item text at column 2 and row 1 to (Text(Player Kills[0]))

and so on, or should i assume the editor is smarter than that?

[OneTwoSC]

@gnigged68 Start PMing me from now on. Look at my leaderboard tutorial on my channel... use that to learn how leaderboards work... the one here isn't as good. The editor is smart... if a unit dies, you can detect it and then increase the Player Kills[owner of killing unit] rather than typing the number directly out.

[SirDudebag]

Sorry but could somebody please explain what an actor is in terms of the Starcraft 2 editor?

[OneTwoSC]

@SirDudebag You should watch my newest tutorial :D.

It controls the visual model, icon, animations, sounds, etc... while the unit itself controls the 'numbers' stuff.

[mrcarbine541]

lol i got starcraft like 3 days ago and ive played bout 7 missions and a whole bunch of editor and i f**kin cant us editor

[TheTurtlebox]

i have a problem my photon cannon isn't shooting the missle doesn't show up and it doesn't hurt the guys

[mrLordDino]

you sound like michael jackson.

[mottoman216]

Can someone PLEASE tell me what is the difference between the blue and yellow border? I can build beyond the yellow one but not over the blue, that's all I know.

[OneTwoSC]

@mottoman216 Watch my latest tut. and youll know. Yellow is camera. Blue is map bound.

[mottoman216]

@OneTwoSC

Uh, sorry for being a bother, but which is your latest tut? The zergling AI one? Or your advanced one.

[OneTwoSC]

@mottoman216 It's whatever is the highest on my youtube channel list excluding map demos and cinematics

[Drownedinblood]

Ok I've hit a snag when I go to edit data I find nothing it's all blank.

[Th3AngryGam3r]

@Drownedinblood if you are in the data editor and you see nothing try making sure you have All Data selected and make sure you don't have something previously entered in the search fields. There are times where I will accidentally have text in the search fields and i will be scratching my head wondering why something specific is not showing up. lol

[Drownedinblood]

@Th3AngryGam3r Thanks and so simple too lol.

[ofektupe14]

please help how do i upload in starcraft 2 the map to play with ppl?

[OneTwoSC]

@ofektupe14 I did a tutorial on that... check out my channel... but due to the popularity system you'll probably only be able to play with friends...

[ofektupe14]

@OneTwoSC ty :)

[Renderello]

thanks man the highdef really helped a lot :D

[deathbros100]

is it me or dose it look like company of heros editor?

[TheEshov]

great videos but some things are a little confusing in what you are clicking on specifically. currently looking for some reall noob tutorials and this seems to be one of the better out there, just could be a little clearer

[OneTwoSC]

@TheEshov Yeah this was my very first tutorial... I've improved on being clearer; but as I've got more advanced, I've also got much quicker... which can be a bad thing.

[TheJawlessCornet]

should my data and my terrain be saved as the same thing? if so how do i combine them?

[OneTwoSC]

@TheJawlessCornet What do you mean? They are the same thing, just different windows that your're saving in. Unless you're talking about mods... you can create mods instead of maps that have your custom units/spells/etc and then you can have your maps use that mod so several maps can have consistent custom data.

[SuperPophop]

all i want to do is learn how to make a sucessfull wave every time i do it it goes all werid

[p1rat33r]

This tutorial is really great. You clearly know what you are talking about and are skilled at explaining it. Compared to other tutorials you speak very clearly and enunciate. Please continue making tutorials, as i know you already have :)

[OneTwoSC]

@p1rat33r Thanks for your comment :D

[battlekill6]

sorry for this dumb question but where do we save the file?

[OneTwoSC]

@battlekill6 Documents>Starcraft 2 Beta>Maps

[battlekill6]

srry for this dumb question but where do u save the file?

[Tr0tim]

Why the fuck is copying a unit so hard compared to WC3.

[OneTwoSC]

@Tr0tim In not so harsh terms, a lot of us feel the same way :D

[khjokes]

i dled the patch but i cant find the editor??

[OneTwoSC]

@khjokes C:/Program Files/Starcraft II Beta/starcraft II editor.exe

It'll be in there, atleast it was for me.

[SincerelySaint]

Nonsense, it's just the beta wait till the full versions out you'll make some fun stuff. You know how to make a footman frenzy map?? that'd be the shit :D

[OneTwoSC]

@SincerelySaint Haha yeah but i personally got tired of them...

[SincerelySaint]

@OneTwoSC But that's the old footies :) You could make something better!

[OneTwoSC]

@SincerelySaint haha maybe... you have to be passionate about a project though otherwise it'll end up half done... I can vouch for countless war3 maps that I never finished.

[SincerelySaint]

@OneTwoSC Good point there, well I still look forward to seeing a nice td from you in the future perhaps.

[OneTwoSC]

@SincerelySaint of course

[SincerelySaint]

You soud like Michael Cera lol but VERY good tutorial. Cant' wait to see you're stuff being sold on bnet marketplace someday :)

[OneTwoSC]

@SincerelySaint HAHA thats hilarious. Yeah totally... especially cause I'm struggling in the editor just like Cera's characters struggle in every movie. I don't know if I would be selling stuff... I'm only making maps not custom sounds/models etc... we'll see!

[Extfighter]

Nevermind, found it out the trigger way. Lawl

[Extfighter]

Hey man, how do I make players allied? o.o I just can't figure it out...

[OneTwoSC]

@Extfighter Oddly enough I THOUGHT my team setup would do that... but just today I found out it doesn't. Infact, basic teams and advanced teams don't seem to work. I did what you did though: set it through triggers. Not sure if were missing something or if I'm not doing it right.

[Pinworm4]

@OneTwoSC You have to do it via triggers now. The thing you're thinking of isn't team assigning. It's actually team PLACEMENT, which means you can choose which starting spot teams use. This is for maps like Twilight Fortress where teammates are close together and you want them to be grouped, rather than spawning enemies next to each other etc. I'm pretty sure everyone was confused by this at first, me too xD

[OneTwoSC]

@Pinworm4 Ah good to know!

[TheGIantR]

Well Good Job

[ivaninp]

Nice! Thank you!

[stimmez]

good tutorial. best i've seen so far.
