Greetings;
I'm Manti, and I've recently started using the Warcraft World Editor.
Sadly, I don't know anything about the program, or about programming, variables and what not; so I'm having a rough start.
I've mostly oriented around the Threads from this Forum, or from the Guides on this site: http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/
Sadly though, I haven't really been able to find anything which was able to clarify the basics.
I've read the General FAQ, the Start Here, nearly everything I could find over there, but none of that contained a, uhm, Basic Tutorial on how to properly start, make some basic Triggers, everything seemed so complicated.
I've also tried using the 'Search' Function, even with the '*', as was stated in the Player Rules (I believe). Sadly, none could answer even the most basic Questions I've had (How to make your AI do stuff, rather than stand in place, how to have more than one AI in the game, how to, even after setting 'User' onto Player 2, you still play on Player 1 and etc.).
It appears that most of the Guides here are for people who aren't experts on the Editor, but know quite a lot of stuff, not for the new, fresh people.
Don't get me wrong with what I'm saying, I'm not claiming I want to learn how to be a God at this in such a short time.
I don't want (And it's not even possible) to learn how to use this program in a few days/a week (Which is how long I've been using it). I am willing to invest Weeks, Months, the entire Summer if I have to, JUST to learn the basics, to have something to start off with. I've been using WE for about 6-7 Hours a day, yet I haven't learned almost anything, despite reading tutorials, watching videos, checking out other people's maps and etc.
Nor am I saying that I want to make super complex stuff really early. All I want right now, is to make a simple map, where my AI will work, where my, even the simplest triggers, won't fail 9/10 times, where my monsters will drop items, but for now, I'd do with ANYTHING.
So, what exactly was the point of this... pathetic thread? It wasn't to complain about how I can't learn anything; its purpose is that, hopefully, somebody who's reading this will give me a push in the right direction; Maybe I've been looking at the wrong sites, maybe I've been using the Search Function wrong, I don't know.
I apologize for making a thread such as this, yet, after not making a tiny bit of progress in the week, and not learning anything, I've grown desperate.
I really hope that somebody will be able to help me out, even the slightest push will be most appreciated.
P.S. I apologize for any grammatical or spelling mistakes, as English is not my native language.
Thank you for your time.
Cheers;
