Hey guys! Some of you might have heard of Legion TD, a Wc3 map I made back in 2009. It's now the most popular map on BattleNet. It's also known as Squadron TD on Sc2. TheHelper is where I learned how to make games and it means a lot to me that these forums are still up and running. For the...

Hey guys, I'm looking into launching a forum for an upcoming game with my company. In the past, I've had experience with vBulletin, but I noticed TheHelper switched over to Xenforo. After reading into things, I'm heavily leaning toward Xenforo, but I'm a little hesitant since I haven't...

Is it possible to change language of wc3? If so, how?

I have it all "set up" just like the normal one just with my new units. I added the correct abilities to both the Town Hall unit and the peasant unit. Somehow it won't detect that there is a Town Hall with peasants nearby, when I try to use the ability with either unit. I tried using the...

Is it possible to reformat or optimize a map for editing, not in-game? One of my maps just takes forever to save/load up in the world editor. I have an extremely high-end computer that I got three days ago, and it still takes about half a minute to save/load the map. I was thinking copy &...

Somehow for one of my maps my Rifleman icon just "broke" or something. Every time I assign a unit the "Rifleman" icon, it displays the "Marine" icon in-game. In the world-editor, the icon shows properly as the Rifleman icon. I have no imported Marine icons, I'm talking about the regular...

Any way to do this easily? I can think of some obscure ways to do this off the top of my head, but I'd rather have it "easily" done if possible. Ghost (visible) does not work on ships. If it did, it would be perfect. Turning off collision allows the ships to go on land, which is not what I...

Does anyone know of an efficient way to make a movement system based on a large array of squares. Basically it would mean that units could move from "square to square" in a turn-based manner. I just need a way to efficiently manipulate the squares, along with the units that move on them (how...

How would I make a triggered locust swarm? I want to have an actual unit have the same pathing (or as similar to) as the locust swarm ability. I need it to be triggered so that I can reference each unit individually when needed, along with a couple of other things. I appreciate any...
