    Local Hero Selection Screens?

    So I've been working on a hero selection screen, and due to my limited understanding of how variables work in the Galaxy Editor, I have a question: Is there a way to allow for each player to have his or her own hero selection screen without creating an array of dialogs? That is, each player can...

    Need to find cause of desynchronization error.

    A desynchronization error has persisted in the Wintermaul map that I have made. I am a fairly experienced mapmaker, but I have been unable to figure out why it occurs. In addition, at least five other experienced mapmakers, some from these boards, have been unable to determine the cause either...

    How do I open multiple maps with WC3 Editor?

    So I hear that a corrupted object in one of my maps might be the cause of the desynchronization that occurs sporadically in my games. (IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?) So apparently I am going to redo my entire map again from the ground up. But to facilitate this, I need to open multiple maps to compare...

    So I am the maker of a map called Wintermaul Redux, a ground-up remake of the original Wintermaul. My map, by all accounts, been a successful and rather popular map.

    Unit Enters Region Problem

    I have a spawn trigger that creates 15 units in the centers of 6 regions. Now, the trigger to order these units to move has "Unit Enters Region" as the Event. But only the first two regions order their units to move. What is wrong? I am under the impression that when a unit is made inside of a...

    Is there a way to have units "ignore" cliff units while attack-moving?

    Say I have a wall and archers on it. The archers attack the melee units below and they crowd in to try and attack them. Is there a way to stop this? Or must I make a waygate or ramp to let them attack?

    Questions concerning Missiles.

    Three questions: 1) Is it safe to have no Missile Art for Instant? 2) Is it safe to have no Missile Art for Missile? What is the difference between ranged Normal and Missile? I assume it has to do with abilities? 3) Is it safe to have Missile (Splash) and the Bash ability? I intend for...

    Just wondering, is there any difference between using "Triggering Unit" or, say, "Entering Unit" for the event "Unit enters Region?"

    Help with chronic server splits.

    Can I get a list of things that cause server splits and perhaps how I should check for them? For example, does setting game speed by trigger cause server splits?

    Question concerning unit group arrays and server splits.

    So I have designed a tower defense and I have created 6 floating unit groups that will be used for the entire game (it has a race or endless spawn format) as the initial spawn movement trigger. Each unit group is an array of 30 (one for each level), with the units of any given level having a...

    Tower Defense Hooking

    So I've been working on a challenging version of Wintermaul that centers on teamwork. There are only 10 races, each with two of five attack types for five armor types. Anyhow, I also redid the entire spawning system from the ground up. Thing is though, since the entire map is one solid...

    Triggers don't work sometimes.

    Sometimes when I host a game, some of the triggers in this map never fire. Most notably, the leaver triggers and a trigger that researches an upgrade when a player builds a certain number of units. Does anyone know of any problems that may cause this? The map was done with normal WC3 Map...

    Workers get stuck after exiting gold mine.

    So I have a gold mine that is like a naval oil platform, but the units get stuck immediately after exiting it. How do I remedy this problem? I can unstuck them by ordering them to move, but I want the queue to work smoothly.
