Zerg Invasion Part 1 (Starcraft 2 Editor Tutorial)

[snuckles108]

Do you know how I can make zerglings only spawn if there's a certain minerals that needs to be consume when a player gathers resources that can evolve zerlings?

[O4archer]

Great tutorial, but fuck I had to pause a lot to figure out how you accessed certain content when you used hotkeys.

Just say what you're doing.

[citrongranat]

I don't understand why you don't click instead of using hotkeys while going through this. I have been looking to add the start locations forever, and I just can't find it. I have also used google without luck. It is a hard enough tutorial to follow without having to look forever for the right tab.

[mrminecrafter152]

this makes my brain hurt

[daveyvandruuten]

@mrminecrafter152 no wories the editor is probally made for nerds people who actually understand this thing i know how to play the game in a good way but watching this gives me a headache

[blu3cube]

@daveyvandruuten "Nerds"...how cute.

[carlosmspk]

how to put start spots on current version?

[F1ameb0y10000]

Kk cool vid and all but tell us what you are doing. You fly through the actions and triggers way too fast it doesn't give me enough time to see what you are doing....................

[bomerman104]

when setting the triggers for player group it keeps saying that there is no value what should i do

[bomerman104]

how do you add the starting points 

[bomerman104]

how do you add fog of war

[GreyOverlord74]

Why is it that Starcraft's scenario builder is a flippin' rocket science project?! Why isn't it as simple as any other strategy game editor: Age of Empires, Galactic Battlegrounds (Star Wars adaptation of Age of Empires), and even the crappy Empire Earth had a simple scenario builder! But on of the best strategy games of all time can't make a simple map builder, I can't even figure out how to test them. They screwed up two times in a row, come on!

[Noraowolf1]

This tutorial is hard as hell to follow

[jas1no1]

@Noraowolf1 yeah...

[Noraowolf1]

how do I set up the camera boundaries?

[ethan2343]

good thing the barracks and the base do not look like those

[peosisin88]

How do you set it so you can see the bounds (Bolth)

[lol8this8is8fun]

How do you auto spawn things?

[Drake8604]

I have a problem with my map. I'm trying to create starting positions for players, and I want player 1 and 2 to both share the same command center and resources. I don't know how to do that or if its possible. Do you know how? Also, I'm trying to make it to where player 3 does not have a command center (he should only control the waves). He always spawns with a command center. Do you know how to place his starting position and force him to not have a starting building?

[Ichigo6739]

Is there any certain way you should set up a map BEFORE making a new one? (wtf are dependencies??) and if so how exactly do you go about setting it up properly for a mod like this. I'm following this tutorial step by step and trying to make this map to the point, and I'm doing good so far, but that's been bothering me from some of the other tutorials I've looked up.

[OneTwoSC]

@Ichigo6739 I'll try and answer what I can. Dependencies you don't really need to know about, except that if you watch my newer tutorials you'll see I always check off the 4 standard dependencies when making a new map. This is so that we get campaign units and multiplayer units. Blizzard has set it up so if you don't check off campaign dependencies, you dont get any data stuff from the campaign... which is fine for melee maps but in most cases we want it. Hope that helps.

[thesocialinception]

@OneTwoSC i really don't like using this editor, is there a way that i can actually write the mod in code, you know any tutorial that teaches that?

[spartanK42]

In what folder do you have to save a map?

[cskelite]

I have a quick real easy questions how do u make ppl allies? like i think i saw it somewhere in this tutorial but i dont feel like going through all the videos could some one help me or give me which tutorial its in?

[WaRSPiRiTUK]

@cskelite Start watching at 5:25 :)

[therunescapemasters1]

hey dude i have a bad problem. Whenever i try to open the starcraft 2 map editor(i bought the game) it opens fine and tells me to log in so i do but then it says" Battle.net connection was lost" then it closes. I cant seem to fix it i tried uninstalling the game and re installing. Any help?

[Sk8ingGuitarplayer]

how do you get the sc2 editor? do you have to download it? please someone respond

[dman45945]

@Sk8ingGuitarplayer it comes with the game. you gotta buy it

[Sk8ingGuitarplayer]

@dman45945 well i bought the game where is it?

[dman45945]

@Sk8ingGuitarplayer try searching it on the start menu

[Archy2k]

Hey OneTwoSC, sorry if i'm bugging you but i got a few more questions.

I'm having problems publishing my game onto battle.net. When I publish it, its like nothing changed when I logged into starcraft. It's like i never published at all. Did i do something wrong?

And i'm having problems giving different units different kill rewards. As of right now, my 15 hp zergling and 125000 hp boss all give 3 minerals each kill. I set it to units attached to Region give 3 minerals when they die.

THANKS MAN

[OneTwoSC]

@Archy2k You should be able to see your map in "My Published" of create game. This tutorial is a bit old, but as of now, you can use combat - kill resource in the unit to specify how much money it gives when dieing.

[fluffythemadcat]

@OneTwoSC 1 year ago that happened, what about now?

[Blinganator2]

dude please help me! message me i have lots of question since i am new to map editor send me a private message

[Archy2k]

Hey mate! Totally love your tutorial, helped alot. A thing your video doesn't show though, is how to make marauders attack air. I've seen mods with marauders attacking mutas, but I've searched everywhere and can't find the option. Help the poor guy in need :p?

THANKS!!

AND I LOVE UR VIDS

KEEP IT UP :D

[OneTwoSC]

@Archy2k Weapons tab, search Marauder. Click on marauder's weapon. Look at Target Filters and I think Search Filters. In there it will probably have "Air" as excluded... change it to allowed.

[MapleSouLe]

LOL, this is basically like Warcraft III world editor but even better. Seems like if you have knowledge about Warcraft III editor you can do this (just that little thing has changed a bit).

[OneTwoSC]

@MapleSouLe Totally.

[brinken87]

@OneTwoSC

Hi, im sorry if im truely a noob, but i have set preference video to high, and ingame i can se lights when they show on ground, but not ingame? how come?

[brinken87]

@OneTwoSC nvm=)

[TheBlockeh]

How do you show the map bounds and camera bounds on the mini-map and on the screen.

[OneTwoSC]

@TheBlockeh press O

[legocraze9]

my god it sort of helped but i stll dont get it

[tyranid77]

@legocraze9 yeah

[TwistedBeare]

Ok, everytime I start the map up, the CC/Nexas/Hive starts at the spawn points. How do I get rid of them?

[OneTwoSC]

@TwistedBeare Trigger editor, delete the Melee - ___________ actions.

[1990MRmustage]

u didnt say to how go to spawn points! >:-(

[TheBlockeh]

@1990MRmustage He said: "Hit R"

[alexandre588]

Sublinal message for google chrome

[OneTwoSC]

@alexandre588 if only they paid me :(

[BigR3DRocket]

ive played some custom games where there are some war pigs in the game, or stuff you can call down from the mercenary building in the campaign. How do you get those units for the custom games?

[LintyHaloHunter]

@BigR3DRocket

File ----> Dependencies I think Add Standard then the third option this is from memory.

[randomgeneratedname]

Does anyone know where to access the other units like firebats and such?

[birddogg62]

Where do i find hero and campaign units in the editor?

[MrJuurian]

@birddogg62

File > Dependencies > Add Standard and then add the other two

[birddogg62]

@MrJuurian Thanks man:)

[DuyAnh1]

ur gud xD

plz make Bomberman ;P

[Hydr312]

nice Base . how you have made it ?

[MMOPalace]

how do u make maps in starcraft 2

[G4merGuy]

Sorry, really stupid question...how do I save so the map comes up in playable maps?

[numb19029]

looks good, but how do you turn props when placing then? it really annoys me I dunno how to do it >.<

[BlindReaper74]

@numb19029 -press the Space Bar after setting your doodad, unit, or anything else.

[RMUIR541]

even though you did this in the beta. can you help me with one thing. once you gotto the triggers ooption how do i um asigne (forrgive me if the spelling is wrong) the starting resorces to your players. in meaing what button commands? The thing i was talking about starts at 6:23? the only place i'm stuck at.

[DarrenFlood1995]

YAY COMMENTARY

[MoronicJ]

Omg u r a legend been looking for a good tutorial for a while!!! tyvm

[hicarbut]

how do i tiriger people to move frome 1 spot to atak to another

[ThaHyperHybrid]

I kinda want the game almost as much because of the editor as gameplay... I loved playing with the Warcraft 3 Editor :D

[44lolin]

slow down at 7:02

[VincentVega44]

I want to customize an existing map. How do I, for example, load Lost Temple into the editor? I can't find it, even when I search my hard drive (I only see replays).

[rase1one]

Do you have any idea how to make bridges?

and to rotate your doodas before you paste them?

Also getting things like the Tarsonis trains? Ive got the rails on the Tarsonis tileset but I can't find the trains ><

[laynecaffy]

hey im making a zombie map i have th spawn set up but could u show me how to make a trigger to make them attack human players? for example instead of the zombies just standing in the city or at spawn make them charge at the players in the game?

[OneTwoSC]

@laynecaffy ROFL I just made a tutorial on this dude. Check my channel for tutorial 13.

[TrentWDB]

I noticed that once you place some doodads like sunlight, or trees, it changes its angle constantly, is there someway to keep it facing the same way?

[burrturr]

ho do you get the camera bounds and map bounds grid?

[OneTwoSC]

@burrturr View->Show Terrain->Show Bounds

[burrturr]

@OneTwoSC Thanks =)

[Bulltrue32]

How do you make your own maps and where can i download or find this

[ZoffyX]

Subbed :D

would you mind making a remake of this tut in the retail version? i understand if you wont, since alot is still the same, but alot of people are so lazy that they wont even try when they see that this is in the beta. i know i would if, if it wasn't for my passion for wave-defence/survival games/mods :P

[OneTwoSC]

@ZoffyX The amount of time I spend answer emails and questions... I probably should lol... I might do a tower D remake first though... but I still want to do an actors tutorial, dialog tutorial, and various others.

[Valcien]

I'm so excited! This is both simpler, more user friendly, AND more powerful than Starcraft's editor.

[iBESERKK]

Awesome tutorials friend! I have just ran across some problem(s) though. I've watched all of these tutorials relating to your Zerg Invasion, followed them step by step, but I don't really know where I went wrong. I've looked at your Unit Spawning triggers and variables and compared them to mine, and they are the same. However my Zerglings aren't spawning (Hydralisks do though!). Also everything besides the marine requires another building. Also, my build time isn't working right. Any thoughts?

[OneTwoSC]

@iBESERKK Means you ALMOST followed me perfectly haha.

For build time, make sure you modified the same field that I did. I did this back on the OLD OLD Beta editor and fields got moved around. For the other units, you didnt press the red X beside requirements for each one's spot in the Train ability... make sure you click it so they have no requirement.

[iBESERKK]

@OneTwoSC Okay yeah, I fixed it I believe. I had to go to (my building's name was training facility) the TF, under abilities, under barracks-train, and go to ability info, double click each unit to bring up it's fields (cost, time, requirements, etc) and edit it there. I have to say it's drastically different from the Beta, but regardless it helped me out a lot! If you have a tutorial on having multiple waves of different kinds, can you link that when you can? Making a bigger invasion map (:

[areaNL]

how do i save own map made ? everytime i logg in i cant find me map that i made ?

[OneTwoSC]

@areaNL ? Its in documents...

[MrStanteno]

how do u make minerals that u just pick up without harvesting? great vid!

[OneTwoSC]

@MrStanteno Not sure, never done it. Try opening a campaign map and see. (file-> Open-> Campaign tab)

[MkCecil]

Can you make a Updated tutorial that is updated to the current starcraft 2....this version is out of date and I am un-able to complete video 2, and 3s tutorial....

[OneTwoSC]

@MkCecil Meh these take a lot of work... pay me per hour and I'll do it! Anyway, I'll probably cover similar stuff in future tutorials...

[TeamRedz]

how do u change weather?

[iBESERKK]

@TeamRedz All I know of is to add rain to the map, and that's located in doodads from large, meduim, and small. A few large rain doodads covers an 88x88 map. If that helps any.

[Justdie1264]

how do i change the build time on my unit ?

[OneTwoSC]

@Justdie1264 Don't I set the build time somewhere? It should be in the train ability...

[matte2468]

how do you add start points?

[OneTwoSC]

@matte2468 In the terrain editor, switch to points layer (P).

[hellsgate11]

when i place the lights it doesnt actually light up it just creates a white cone. how do i change this?

[OneTwoSC]

@hellsgate11 Might be video settings. File->Preferences->Video Settings, make it all high or ultra. Also make sure View->Lighting->Game is set.

[hellsgate11]

@OneTwoSC changed settings and it work, thanks.

[TeamRedz]

why does the nexus and the base stuff spawn.

[G4mepl4yFTW]

Is Starcraft 2 editor similar to Warcraft Editor? =) - Just wondering if we have to learn a new editor all over again ;) (Look kinda like warcraft editor though) =)

[OneTwoSC]

@G4mepl4yFTW Almost identical... except the unit/data editor is WAY more complex.

[ThePayne232]

i carnt fuckin wait to get on starcraft 2 editor ! :P

[randomer1432]

great video, one question, how do you edit the bounds? like the camera bounds etc

[OneTwoSC]

@randomer1432 Lol I get this question a lot. Click on the map button on the top toolbar and its somewhere in there (button near map info)... then check off modify map bounds in the tool if you want to not just change the camera bounds.

[SpartanSubject]

Thanks! And one last question, how would I add a unit to the HQ command card? I want to add a Seige tank...So far I have added a button, but when I go into the game it does not appear. Sorry to ask. But please and thank you!

[OneTwoSC]

@SpartanSubject Thats a pretty broad question, but I'd look at making sure the Train ability has a seige tank in it (and remove the requirement inside if train seiege tank has one)... then you add the button to the HQ, then make the button do ability command, no requirement, Ability - Train (w/e it's named), and then pick Train Siege Tank or w/e

[SpartanSubject]

Okay so whats bugging me now is, how do I get an image from google (I saved the image and its on my desktop) And get it into the loading screen?When I search for images in the map info / loading screen / custom image...all it shows me is texture names, it seems I cant search on the desktop...is there anyway I can get this custom image into my loading screen :)? Please and thank you TIMES 2!! XD

[OneTwoSC]

@SpartanSubject Import Manager. Import from there (Right click-> Import files). then save. Then go back to loading screen and youll see it in list when you browse now. Also, it has to be TGA or DDS.

[ninjasianparana]

how do you get the camera and map bounds???

[OneTwoSC]

@ninjasianparana It's under View menu somewhere. I forget atm sorry.

[laynecaffy]

how do i spawn units with regions.....

[OneTwoSC]

@laynecaffy What do you mean? Give me more to work with! :D

[laynecaffy]

@OneTwoSC well u know in sc1 editor u could spawn a certian number of untis at layers...well can u do the same in sc2 with regions? and if so..how?

[OneTwoSC]

@laynecaffy Sorry lol the sc1 editor was too hard for me. It never made sense so I never gave it a "true" go. I came from war3. Anyway, If you're asking how to create multiple units in a region, just look at the trigger action "Unit - Create unit(s) facing angle". Otherwise, I'm not really sure what youre asking :(

[zenney100]

Zomgwtfbbq, the galaxy editor makes my low quality wc3 map look even more crappy than before.

[steevan]

i prefer the SC1's starship trooper . that's more epic .

[Fullmetalfanof2009]

PLZPZLPZL HELP ME!! how do you change creation time and creation cost?!!?!??! PPLZPLZPZLPZLLZ HELP ME!!

[OneTwoSC]

@Fullmetalfanof2009 Slow down lol.. time and cost of what? Anything? Barracks - Train ability specifies this stuff... it's in my tutorial...

[snakeyz12]

where can i find some game play footage on this map?

[OneTwoSC]

@snakeyz12 What do you mean? I demo the map right near the beginning...

[snakeyz12]

@OneTwoSC well i dont have starcraft 2(beta or otherwise) or a computer. im using my laptop.

[snakeyz12]

@OneTwoSC well like with more ppl,and takeing youre time to beat it.

[snakeyz12]

@OneTwoSC well i ment with more ppl and takeing youre tome to beat it. (lulz 1 year later)

[OneTwoSC]

@dragonlord174 I see you removed this comment, but I still saw it. My goal with the tutorial is that you watch it and learn it and then you can come back to it later. No matter how well I can narrate, you will still have to stop and watch to see where I clicked, unless of course you're fluent in the editor... which should happen anyway.

[dragonlord174]

@OneTwoSC

The reason I removed it is that I noticed that you replied to my previous comment that I asked which pretty much asked the same thing, sorry about the repition :P

[Mrzappetta1]

tank you guy

[SirAvalord]

great tutorial!

[Knapperr]

thanks SOO much for the tutorial :D !!!!!

[Wareitar]

I looooooooove you... As much as a hetrosexual guy can love another one.. This tutorial is actually damn good! Can't wait to go through the rest now!

[Wareitar]

@Wareitar Ehhh, kinda have a question though, how do I show the camera and map bounds in the editor and on the map like you've got there???

[OneTwoSC]

@Wareitar Thx for your comment! Um I'm going off the top of my head, but I would go through each item in the View menu. Show map bounds must be in there somewhere, although I don't remember turning it on.

[Wareitar]

@OneTwoSC I have.. I can't find it.. xD

There is a map boundries editor, where you can up the size of the map as you wish, and set the boundries so on so forth. However, I can't get it to show on my minimap. Or in the editor main window itself.

If you find out how that would be awesome, as it would help out alot when it comes to hiding those spawn points for zerg and such...

[OneTwoSC]

@Wareitar View->Show Terrain-> Show Bounds

[Tinesthia]

Fixed alliances can be set through the player properties as well, not just through triggers. Start locations are also used for the default camera location for players, but this can also be set through triggers.

[OneTwoSC]

@Tinesthia I've found that alliances HAVE to be done through triggers so far for sc2... any time I tried to set up teams through the Player properties window, I go ingame and everyone shoots eachother...

[Never1st]

Good job, do you have some other programming experience?

[OneTwoSC]

@Never1st What do you mean? I am going to school for computer science if that's what you're wondering.

[neovoag]

Can't wait for the next one! :)

[OneTwoSC]

@neovoag Haha damn you're fast! It's not even processed for 720p yet! Part2a should be processed soon...

[neovoag]

@OneTwoSC :) yup its cause I <3 you videos! Helps me a load!!

[OneTwoSC]

@neovoag yay, good to hear! I'm still uploading part 3a because youtube screwed up the original upload...

[neovoag]

@OneTwoSC yup I know :( couldnt view it :(

[OneTwoSC]

@neovoag Fixed now...
