[Crixilis]

Can someone help me with this?

I want, at a certain time, creeps (foot soldiers) spawn at a specific location, and attack that specific location. I know how to do that, it's just that, I want them to spawn at every alternate seconds. Such as, after 30 seconds, 2 marines come out and attack an enemy, and I don't know how to make it continue like that, instead of the soldiers continuously spawning.

[TsunamyArmy]

@Crixilis

um u might wanna put "preserve trigger" or sumthing like that in the 2nd trigger thing :0

[Crixilis]

@TsunamyArmy I did, but they kept coming out every second.

[joshyman60844]

@Dylanhunt88 you probably need to put it on use map setting,you do that when u start the game,where you select race and everything,it prob said free for all

[Le0nJaNz12]

the one thing i learned is that to add heroes in the map =D lol

but in the in-game how can you spawn or make the hero?(all heroes)

[rocka2828]

[K371Nxd]

stacking buildings is on special mode i think you gotta download special mode. oh and HOW DO YOU MASS?

[azinboi117]

one question how u stack buildings in editor?

[Animatorcreater]

i need help with the sound i cant put sound on it for some reason.

[AfroedTroll]

How do you make a trigger that allows you to buy things with civilians? Like u put 3 civs on the beacon and it gives u a kerrigan or archon

[ajholmez]

For example: If you wanted to bring 3 civilians on a beacon to give you kerrigan, you would set the condition to be: Current player brings at least 3 units to (location of beacon) Action: Remove 3 civilians, Create 1 kerrigan at (location), preserve trigger

[Battlecop]

I just need to know if you can make computers gather n what not.

[kyubipalex]

me 2 i cant get em 2

[jkunblade]

Okay this is driving me CRAZY how the hell do you set a door to open when you walk to it and close when you walk away?

[rugby88]

im having problems when I test my game, the computer takes away everything I set already (units building etc.) but leaves the terrain the way I built it. What am I doing wrong?

[Ericosproduction]

Did you watched the first video of "Triggers"?

[kyubipalex]

when u test it on the screen where u choose ur map look for free for all and change it to map settings

[pikachupwnsU]

How do you import sounds? please help me

[p4ulk1m94]

u just go to properties and sounds. Import a sound there. Then, go to triggers and for an action, choose WAV file(or whatever it says)

[CloudenTheSwarm]

@pikachupwnsU nub

[thedecider2049]

ok i get how do everything you have shown in your videos, thats not to hard, what im having trouble with is setting up the computer ai's to build up and attack on thier own so i dont have to have a certain attack point for everone, i want them to attack each other and me too, think you can make a video depicing that fo me plz?

[p4ulk1m94]

Yeah, my videos are very basic. I plan on making more advanced videos later. Currently, I don't have starcraft installed on my new computer and I'm too lazy to. (haha)

Well just make a location on the computer's base, and how much you want the computer to expand. (I usually just make a location covering the whole map). Go to triggers and make the condition Always. Set the action to Set AI (or was it run AI) Continued on next reply...

[p4ulk1m94]

Idk, just look for something that says "_______ AI at Location" Set the AI to what you want. If you need help on the details, the SC Editor Help can support you. Then, set the location to the location you just made.

If you really read each action/condition, you can pretty much find anything. I never ever had to ask for help except for a few advnaced things. I pretty much figured out all the knowledge I know by myself.

[thedecider2049]

yeah i got it after i wrote that lol, yeah you just set the ai script at location you put them, and then got set the allegiance for everyone, lol i was missing that step the whole time. thank you though

[windwakerlover555666]

@p4ulk1m94 i REALLY hope you can answer this... How do you get a beacon to cost money I have The condition to "If Player 1 moves "Any Unit" to "Location 0" Action - "Subtract 50 minerals from player 1" "preserve Trigger" "make 5 Zealots at Location 20 for player 1" But when I test it I can have30 minerals and it just brings me to zero and the Zealots keep piling up! How do I fix this???

[bio189]

im trying to make a map where you choose a unit at the beginning sort of like special forces. but i cant get the civilian to die when you put him in a location. what do i do?

[Cnguyen300]

for your condition set it to bring. make sure you have a location over the beacon. (all the beacon), you have to have a trigger for each beacon.

for your action, set it to kill unit at location, and create unit. and then, set another action to create unit. (this is for creating another civ.) you also need to have a location where the civ. respawn.

[Animeman37]

it was hard to follow along because sometimes you put the words on the triggers screen and u cant see it well

[p4ulk1m94]

Sorry, but this was not my fault. It because of Youtube's media player. I even watched my videos on windows media player and they looked fine. I even worked hard to place the words at a certain time. But, unfortunately, Youtube messed this up, and I ahve no way to fix it. Sorry once again.

[Animeman37]

its alright

[Jjastiny]

he's one of the greatest map makers in sc so listen carefully ... did u guys heard of gangster hideout ?? any ways he made it XD .. lol
