I managed to figure this out. Copying and pasting works, but its slightly weird. Once you have copied the terrain and resized the map, you have to deselect the area you have copied, move the camera in the bottom left corner, press CNTL-V and the mouse turns into a plus symbol. Then you have to...

Sorry, forgot to mention that I'm making the map size smaller in this case. I tried copying the terrain and it didn't work, but perhaps I did it wrong.

I'm having some issues with terrain. Whenever I try to make my terrain smaller (Map > Map Bounds), everything scales perfectly to the new change EXCEPT the terrain textures. They get slightly to somewhat significantly displaced from where they were on the larger map. Is there any way around this...

Thanks for the help. That works, although I wish I didn't have to add a new behavior for each ability, but it must be done :P. Thanks again.

I'm trying to create an hero system very similar to the one in Warcraft 3. I've been doing pretty well. However, I've encountered a snag that I can't seem to figure out. I want to try to emulate Warcraft 3's level requirements for leveled abilities. In Warcraft 3, each level of the ability...

Basically, I want to make a trigger that detects when a unit returns the gold that it gathered from a gold mine to it's base, so I can display a message and do a bunch of other stuff. How would I do this?

How do you hide abilities? I'd like to make myself clear that I do NOT want to hide passive abilities like Devotion Aura, rather, I want to hide active abilities, such as Warstomp. What I mean by hide is causing the ability to remain invisible, I.E you can't see it or click on it. HOWEVER...

When I make a camera that is zoomed out very far, in game there is a "black fog" that makes the terrain coved in blackness. I have searched and there are other thread about this, but using their solutions doesn't seem to work for me. From what I can gather, you are supposed to change the maps'...

Wow, this is incredibly useful. Thanks! I would give you rep for that, but I already gave you rep for your previous post and the forum won't allow it.

I tried creating said functions, but to no avail. I am probably capable of creating them, but they will probably be more convoluted then necessary. Either way, it would be more convenient if you would provide these functions to me, if you are willing to :) Sorry for the late response, by the way.

I don't necessarily understand what you are trying to say. Could you please elaborate?

There is a way to detect the "z" of a unit with the function: GetLocationZ(). I am wondering if there is a function to set the "z" of a unit. What I am trying to do is that if a unit walks off of a non-blizzard cliff, they actually fall downward, like in real life. Flying hight is...

Fine then, I suppose I'll opt to do it the old fashioned way. Thanks. :)

Yes, but despite all of that, I would like to see for myself if it is truly worthwhile. The problem is, is that I cannot get this to run on Windows 2000. Period. It just doesn't start. Could be missing something, but I'm 95% sure it won't work. I was thinking the method mentioned in my first...

I want to use the Terrain 1.0 tool (...) so I can use hight maps to create the terrain for my map quickly. However, the app doesn't work on my computer. If someone would like to help me, just post in this thread and I'll PM them the tga image I want to use, and they can use the tool on a blank...
