Hi everyone, can someone give me a map idea that is Other, not an AoS, TD or Hero Arena. I can't think of a map idea.

Thanx!

Fiddle around with random triggers untill you find a way to use them to make a wierd differnt thing, or mix them ( a TD mixed with a AOS :p ) or just think untill you come up with a idea.... I dont have any atm though.

TD is the best for starters in WE try doing a TD and later when you become much more advanced you could make a more advanced maps (RPG and whatever you like)
the TD will be mostly a walk through to learn how to build in WE

You sir are means! :p

He wants a new idea, well heres a suggestion. Go get fryed with some friends than play some warcraft maps. After you play get a friend or somthing that isnt high to write down what you said about the map or somthing and then make a map.

requirments
  • Friends
  • Computer
  • The stuff to get fryed

I didn't list the actual stuff since there so much you can choose from espically the crap from sewers rofl

Think out the box. Try something new.

Try making a TD, but do it like Ryoko or Skibi. Experiment with throwing in a whole whack of mini-games, or make a whole mpa of just mini-games!
The trigger experience could benefit you for later projects...

If you want straight ideas though...

-Quick, fast adrenaline battle situation (end-of-the-world type thing)
-Logic, a puzzle game
-A maze (without catapults on one spot etc as mentioned) in an exotic location (could combine it with above)
-A switched-around TD (you are the creeps)
-A really competitive sport/game
-Try your hand at making a movie
-Landscaping? With nice views and environmental fx...

Hope you are inspired :)

You could watch some movies/cartoons to get some inspiration.

Or get something new into the world of a certain map type.
For example TD:
Sproud td, switch td, total new twists into the world of TD's...
***just that you notice, that 2 allready excist***

try makeing a list of things that you are good of, and then a list of things that you absolutely do not want, and then i think i can help u more, since just map idea's are virtually unlimited, but here are some things to think about

is the map gonna be player vs player or player vs computer or unequal player teams

will the players have a hero?

will the players be able to build anything?

how should the game be won (killing something, getting X score, etc.)

You want an idea that is original, but yet you try to just get people to make ideas for you... I don't get it = \.


anyways, just look through the triggers, see what you can do with them, look at games outside of warcraft 3.

I might do this myself sometime. But due to the crappy quality of my maps, I'll just throw this idea to you:

Tower Wars.

And I mean it.

It's Towers versus Towers, not some "Towers that send creeps versus Other Towers that send creeps"

You build tower in a battlefield, destroy an enemy tower, build another one, and go till you destroy the enemy base. That's it.

Its been done before... :( Its not very common though. You could make a really good one of it and it might seem original enough.

the map is called wisp wars and/or peon wars, the major problems are people becoming 2 fortified in 1 spot and it becoming boring..

suggestion:
you command an army of grinches, it is your mission to destroy christmas for everyone ( Stop santa from delivering presents,steal presents from houses or just burn the houses down fight off armies of elves and riendeer, run from or kill the cops when they see you or else you will be sent to prison.)

...And team 2 is Santa and has to run around the town delivering presents while avoiding team 1. (and possible avoid being seen by children :p)

Thanx guys, should I make a map called Revenge Of The Sheep? If you know Sheep Tag, Raiders chase the sheep, but in this game the sheep chases the raiders… so what do you think? It’s time for revenge of the raiders!

Tell me if i should make this map? Thanx

Hey something came into my mind about the watch a cartoon post. Tom and Jerry suddenly appeared in my mind. How about make a map where a person plays catching someone while the other one tries to make his way out of trouble.

  • Varine Varine:
    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
