couldu please answer at least one of my stupid questions

[stupidold]

hi

i have a few stupid newbie questions that i gotta ask...

i first started dong editor so...
sorry to bother you... i'll cut the crap and ask you

first, how do i make it so that a base with five workers DONT appear on my starting points? i want a unit instead.. as in making hero arena...i want a wisp... not a castle in the middle of a power point

second, how do i put my custom units on the map?

third, how do u make zones? for instance in a map called vquest, there r gateways in which teleports u to another zones that u cant c on the mini map

fourth, how do you adjust the items dropped by the monsters you've created?

fifth, how do you change/make new items? can you change the abilities of the items?

sixth, how do u make a bar like one in ice troll tribes? does it involve complex trigger working? ( i bet it does! :'(

seventh, how do you create quests as in loap or rpg maps? in those when you go on a beacon or go near a unit optional quest is revealed. could u please tell me

eighth, how do you change your unit/hero's form by using/carrying an item? in rpg maps such as fforpg, when you use a materia, you transform

or in angel of death by Randy m401, when u carry Randym401 soul, your hero transform into different form , but the items, levels and abilities stay. how do you do that? another example is parasite. if you are a human in that map you can wear 'suits' that transforms u into a marine with SAME stats but get bonuses. when you take the 'suit' off, your hero is back to normal







final question and the most important...how do you delete buildings or units on the map without using undo?

woh woh woh woh woh, back up 10 steps please.

You are new to mapmaking and you want to make a hero arena, is that correct? You are going to have a few problems if you don't know the basics, its like trying to walk before you can crawl.

You need to start out by opening maps like warchasers and the death sheep in your Warcraft III\Maps\Scenario folder. Spend some time wandering through the trigger editor, object editor etc. and see what's going on in there. Play the maps and see if you can match up what's going on in the game with what is going on in the editor.

Looking at our website too is a good way to learn how to do a few things, we have many tutorials up there.

if you don't know things like how to delete a building or putting custom units on a map, I strongly suggest you take heed of my advice. We are here to help you yes, but we can't help with certain things if you don't understand the basic stuff first.

 

[Mind]

I learned the basics of the Warcraft III World Editor by experimenting. I recommend to try the same.

hehe

the thing is, if u walk b4 crawling, u can crawl too

but how about basic stuf flike how i delte units

 

[Darg]

the map layout is divided into 5 "layers", known as palettes. The 5 palettes are:

- Terrain palette
- Doodad palette
- Unit palette
- Region palette
- Camera palette

What these palettes do is they allow you to only select ONE type of object on the map, depending on what palette you have selected. For example, if you have the terrain palette selected, you can ONLY mess with terrain, you CANNOT touch doodads, units, regions or cameras.

In your example, you cannot delete units or buildings because you do not have the Unit palette selected. Either select it from the tool palette (its the floating window on the right of the editor window), or hit U on your keyboard.

Darg has pointed this out before but even if your questions are stupid questions we will still be happy to answer them no matter what. So please don't feel bad or afraid to ask simple questions, it's alright here in this community we are all friends and that's why I love it so much

 

[Darg]

while I am happy answering "stupid" questions, I may not be happy if you ask very advanced questions and it is obvious you have not learned the basics yet.

So please don't go over your heads guys, if you want to do advanced things then ask more "stupid" questions first
