For this tutorial i will be making a basic Tower Defense.

Open up World Editor, or World Editor Unlimited. I will be using World Editor Unlimited which you can download here, http://www.wc3sear.ch/?p=Tools&ID=17

Okay,
step one: choose the size of you map, and the tileset you would like.
Only terrain half of the map, because then you can copy it and mirror it to make the map symmetrical for balancing issues. When your done with the terrain uncheck all boxes that you had checked and select your half of the map with the terrain. Go into Advanced ----> View Entire Map, this will make the next step easier. Then hit Control + C to copy the terrain you just did. Then hit Control + V to paste your terrain down. Line it up as best as you can then left click.
Now that you have done that select the part you just pasted and go into Edit ----> Mirror Selection Horizontaly, this will flip the terrain around so that it is the exact opposite of the other side of the map, therefore resulting in almost identical terrain.

Then Create a region in every spot where you would like a spawn to be. (it can be 2 regions or it can be 1)

Then set up a region everywhere you would like a creep to have to walk to before heading to the loading position. Then create towers and builders.

I attached the files with the triggers you will need for creating the triggers for everything. If i am missing anything please tell me.

Also i would have attached screen shots, but my IMG code is off and have no idea how to turn it on. and uploading a screen shot would require a lot more maximum space.

  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
