    All In - Brutal Campaign

    Based on my experience the air mission is ridiculously harder; I first tried to do it with air and, after 7 bloody attempts, I got to 98.6%. There are massive air attacks constantly barraging your base from all sides; Nydus worms are replaced by drop pods which are arguably even more annoying...

    Protoss Probe Build and Build Advanced Button Cooldown of 5 seconds: How?

    - Go to the Data Editor. - Enter the tab Abilities. - Search for the Probe - Build (Probe) ability and select it. - In the ability, you will see the Ability - Info + tag, click on it. - You will then see a list of structures (everything the Probe can build). When you click on one (e.g. Build 01...

    Linking to Unit Stats in the Data Editor

    I'd like to know how you can link to units stats in data editor tooltips. For example, linking to a units maximum life in a button's tooltip (e.g. "Zealots have <Unit,Zealot,Life> Life or however it's done).

    Mod Authors: Simplify your UI's!

    I haven't tried it, but afaik the position of the portrait changes when you change your resolution, thus it will only work with one resolution (and will block the unit information on all others) as you cannot get the screen resolution of a player through triggers.

    Adding a progression/loading bar in-game?

    You need to use a dialog with a dialog item of type "image", which you can slowly shrink. Firstly, you must create the dialog: Events Map Initialization Conditions Actions Dialog - Create a Modal dialog of size (320,64) at (50,50) relative to Top Left of screen. Variable - Set...

    Gaming Treating Starcraft addiction with antidepressants

    This never happens in real life, ever. Everyone is completely honest about themselves there, and nobody does things they normally wouldn't enjoy so other people like them more. Honestly, you're right. In professional football, there is a lot of strategy and adapting involved, just like in...

    Abilitys....

    It's in a tab called "Cost - Cost +", you have to add an "Index" for every level (same as with Energy) - the cooldown is right there (green "Cooldown", "Time Start" means the time it will have to wait until the ability is ready after the unit first acquires the ability (through learning, or...

    Ui annoying bits

    These are all data editor flaws, and pretty much impossible to help you with if you don't give us data editor information. I'll try to do the best I can, though. White blobs mean it can't find an actor model (probably for an attachment) Models are attached to their attachment points that...

    Get Local Player?

    Is there anyway to get the local player with the galaxy language (like the GetLocalPlayer() function in JASS)?

    Experiences thus far?

    Well, I used the WC3 Editor loads and mastered most of it, and I'm planning to do the same with the SC2 Editor, though it seems to be a lot more complicated (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). Trigger Editor: The Good: - I already used Local Variables in WC3 (in GUI, yes yes), but I love...

    [Data Editor] I hate SC2 Data editor. Every spell I add to a unit says it requires...

    Did you add the ability to the unit (in Ability - Abilities +), then created the command button (in Ability - Command Card +) and did you then link the ability to the spell properly, like so: Command Type: Ability Command Requirements: (None) Ability: Mothership - Vortex Ability Command: Vortex...

    Triggered Spells Help

    I don't know, but edit it how you wish, this is simply a lot more convenient for me.

    Triggered Spells Help

    It's so you only have to run the trigger once if you want to damage multiple units (for instance, for an area of effect ability).

    Triggered Spells Help

    I created a function called "Damage Unit" that uses a simple repeated function to deal damage to the unit. First, you will need 4 (or more) effects, called: Damage - 1 (deals 1 damage) Damage - 10 (deals 10 damage) Damage - 100 (deals 100 damage) Damage - 1000 (deals 1000 damage) Then...

    Triggered Spells Help

    So, I used to play around in the Warcraft 3 Editor quite a bit, so I'm used to basing spells off of a dummy spell (channel) and triggering the entire spell as this was much more fluent and allowed for a lot more unique spells. After I tried doing this in the Galaxy Editor, I ran into a few...

    Duel-Cast not working for some reason? :(

    1. It's spelled "Dual", not "Duel" 2. Your trigger leaks immensely, but I doubt you care 3. Using "Target Unit of Ability Being Cast" can bug after a wait, try saving it into a (local) variable at the beginning of the spell and using that instead.

    Spell causing chrash

    Odds are that there is some infinite loop attached to the spell. Does your spell create a dummy unit that casts a spell, and could that spell casted by the dummy unit trigger the same trigger or another trigger again? Please post your triggers if you want us to help ;)

    Kill All Units?

    That won't destroy the units of all players (I think all unused slots aren't counted, and neither are the neutral ones). This kills the units of ALL players: Actions For each (Integer A) from 1 to 16, do (Actions) Loop - Actions Set TempGroup = Units owned by...
