A bunch of questions...

[Dream_Dragon]

I am making a map called Real Estate, and I have run into some major problems.

1: How can I change the tileset (Cityscape) so that buildings can be built on the 'square tiles' tile?

2: How can I show experience and wood gained from a creep as a floating colored number upon its death (in the same way that gold bounties are shown)?

3: How can I make an item that allows the hero carrying it to build several buildings for costs in wood and gold, mimicing the 'build' skill that workers have?

4: How do I make an invincible gate open in front of a hero if it has a certain item, than close behind it?

In the object editor, Pathing> Placement Requires

You can change the buildable part, what it can build on.

I think i can help u for 3 and 4..
ok for 3 ....first Blizzard made already those kind of items..if u want a item that makes a building that is not offered then make a trigger saying if u use that building item it makes a certain building at certain spot..

for question 4

just make a gate..object editor find the specfic gate you used and make it invulnarable under ability...and make a region in front of gate..and make trigger that if X hero enter that region with condition it has to have X item(s). ok hoped I helped

I'll emphasize how to work all of these

1) If you look in the buildings you fish for the placement settings (it's towards the bottom if I recall correctly)

2) I believe it is turned on by saying "flag on" in a trigger. I could easily be wrong here though.

3) Here is where I know the answer...I think. Change the Build ability to be an item ability (set "Item Ability" equal to true) and add it to the item. It should work

4) To create an invincible gate, you have to fish for the "combat - Targeted as" and change it from "debris" or whatever it is to "decoration" and "invulnerable". Your unit can click on it, but you can't attack it. Then, you can use the trigger:

UnlockDoor
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters <Door Region that surrounds your gate>
    Conditions
        ((Triggering unit) has an item of type <key Item that you must create one based off a PERMANENT class item and remove its ability>) Equal to True
    Actions
        Destructible - Open <Your Gate>
        Wait 2 seconds
        Destructible - Close <Your Gate>

2) You would need to use triggers and floating text. I'm not very good with floating text though...
