Quest.

[magnemann]

Hey, I want to make an easy quest with a map I made.
I am a noob to map editing, especially triggers.

I want a quest which goes something like this: "Kill this mob, and you win the game."
I made a strong custom unit which needs to be killed in order to win the map.

How do I do this? Thanks in advance

Or are you asking for someone to do your map for you?

Was kinda hoping for an example too though.
Nice to see you are still around SFilip

Thanks a lot, but I have some problems with the sound, that's the only thing!

I can't choose any sounds, how do I do that?

 

[magnemann]

Ok, found out how to put in sound.

The current list about victory is like this:
*Quest - Display to [All players] the Quest Completed message: victory!
*Quest - Mark [Last created quest] as Completed
*Quest - Flash the quest dialog button
*Wait 10.00 seconds
*Game - Victory Player 1 [Red] [Show dialogs, Show scores]
*Sound - Play HeroicVictory01 <gen>

Now, after I have killed banditlord, which is the event, It waits 10 seconds, and then it says "Continue" and "Quit Campaign" and THEN the Heroicvictory song begins, what I would like is that the HeroicVictory song play WHILE it waits 10 sec, is this possible? and how?

 

[Doom-Angel]

well simply put the Play sound actions before the 10 seconds wait like this:

*Quest - Display to [All players] the Quest Completed message: victory!
*Quest - Mark [Last created quest] as Completed
*Quest - Flash the quest dialog button
*Sound - Play HeroicVictory01 <gen>
*Wait 10.00 seconds 
*Game - Victory Player 1 [Red] [Show dialogs, Show scores]

Thanks, I have added reputation to some of you

3 more things:

1: I tried to add my own music, MP3, and added it to sound, but it didnt work, actually, the whole map went strange, fortunately I didn't save it. How can I add my own songs without getting messed up?

2) Could someone show me how to get quests by a npc? Like, the NPC has an exclamation mark over him, and when I walk by him I will get a quest.

3) Where can I find the sound : Sound - Play QuestCompleted <gen> ?

Will add more rep for people with reasonable posts.

Use the search feature on the site.

1) i think the song count as music so use the play music action also i recommend for u to avoid songs since ur map will go oversized and if it's above 4Mb u can't put it on battle net

2)simply like this:

Event
   Map Init
Condition
Action
   Create Special effect <Exclamation mark> above the UnitVar's overhead
   Set SFX_Variable = Last Created special effect

Event
   Unit comes within 500.00 of UnitVar
Condition
   (Owener of (Triggering unit) Not Equal to Netural Hostile
Action
   Destroy SFX_Variable 
   <Rest of the quest actions....>

hope that helped.

3) try searching in the sound editor mabye in the extra parts or something like that

Does anyone here got a map with cinematics, or perhaps you can make a map with just cinematics, so I can learn how the triggers when doing cinematics works?
Thanks

 

[magnemann]

Anyone?

You can use search, I think it would be far mre useful then we can say.

Basically the action that you want to do before anything when starting a movie are:

Actions
    Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode On for (All players)
    Cinematic - Disable user control for (All players)
    Cinematic - Turn on letterbox mode (hide interface) for (All players): fade out over 2.00 seconds
    Cinematic - Clear the screen of text messages for (All players)
    Cinematic - Clear the screen of text messages for (All players)

And then turn them off after the cinematic. Druing the cinematic you may want to move units using this action

Unit - Order some unit to Move To some point

Or attack using

Unit - Order some unit to Attack some other unit

and things like that.

Also make sure you play with cameras to make it better. For example:

Camera - Pan camera for some player tosome point over some seconds

which will move the camera for a player to somwhere. Another example is:

Camera - Shake the camera for some player with magnitude some real

To shake camera.

I learned cinematics and cameras alone, it isn't very hard just check out what certain actions do.

Edit:

Check this.

Ok, something wrong happened right now...
I am looking at a cinematic my friend made. its something like:

 Cinematic - Send transmission to all players From "unit" named blah blah: play no sound and display TEXT. Modify duration: [B]add 5.00 seconds and wait[/B]

Now, the "add 5.00 seconds and wait" means that the transmission will last 5 seconds, right? I changed it to "add 1.00 seconds and wait" but the transmission doesn't last 1 sec, in fact, it still lasts 5 seconds. Why?

 

[magnemann]

Need help fast

 

[2-P]

The "basic" transmission length is 5 seconds or so, so "Add" 5 seconds will increase the length to 5+5=10 seconds.
Use "Set to" 1 second.

New question:
So, I am making a cinematic at the start of the map.
And, there is a main quest which involve killing a dude.
When I have killed that dude, I win. BUT, before I can continue/quit campaign, I want a another cinematic. How do I do that?

EDIT: What is the default game speed in Warcraft 3 and frozen throne? Is it fast?

The number, you write isn't all the time, Don't you see. It sais "ADD
1.00 seconds and wait" not "1.00 seconds and wait". I write 0 all the time...
