Tutorial: Creep Defense!
Introduction:
Hi .. this is a easy way to create a small creep defense map . Follow the chapters and you should'nt get problems on the way , feedback is appriciated . This is also a tutorial not for ultimate profesionals .. this is more for the unknowing people in world editor .. Well .. lets get started ^^
Chapters:
Starting
Creating the basic terrain
Making details
Triggering creeps
Triggering the hero spawn
Lose trigger
Chapter 1: Starting.
Ok first of all open your world editor .. In there , you go to "New Map" .. Map size be 64x64 and we'll take the tileset Icecrown Glacier . Initial tile will be Snow . And cliff level = 2 . Good now go to the down left corner , becourse we will make the base there . First we find out how big the base is going to be , and then we some how make some doodads with 2 enthrances ( sry if this is spelled not correctly ) and then put some towers .
Something like this:
Good after done that .. We need a headquater .. a base ! and the model i will take to that is the Arcane Factory from the campaign of humans .
And after you did that .. We will make some farms to more detailed base..
Now go to chapter 2.
Chapter 2: Creating the basic terrain.
Ok now we are going to make the terrain a little more spiny .. First of all
in the base .. so it looks more serious .. We will first make Rough Dirt as a road from the farms to eachother ..... Then we make the terrain at the 2 places the creeps are going to spawn from .. with Dark ice . Like this:
Farms with road
Dark ice path.
Go to chapther 3 now
Chapter 3: Making details.
Ok first we are going to make the creeps spawning base now. go up in left corner and place some winter tress to make a open circle .. like this:
Now we are making the base spawning for the creeps .. Try make it seems like this :
Done that? cool . Now we make 2 shops in our home base .. Where to buy tomes , power up items and so .. ( or what ever you want in ur defense map )
I will take the Goblin Merchant and the Marketplace .. After you did that.. We will go to chapter 4.
Chapter 4: Triggering creeps
Now this is the part that can be hard for some people who just started with the triggering .. anyway i do it easy for you .. i will make the trigger .
Go to the Trigger editor Make a new Catogori and name it "Creeps" Then create a new trigger named "Creep Spawn 1" , now minimize the trigger editor and go to the Region Palette what you will find under the Unit palette. Create a new region just in front of the Evil portal:
Good , now go to the trigger editor again and Creep spawn 1 , And make the trigger like this:
This trigger will do that when the game starts .. then evry 6 seconds of game time 2 ice trolls will go to attack your base ( if u pointed the go-region there) And after 1 minute they will stop .. then you can keep doing this with different levels and monsters .. Now go to chapter 5 ^^
Chapter 5: Triggering the hero spawn.
Now we will create a new Catogori in the trigger editor .. Name it "Heroes" . and in there create a trigger named "Hero Spawn 1" and in there you make it as this:
Now go to chapter 6.
Chapter 6: Lose Trigger
Here its simple .. just create a new catogori in the trigger editor named "Victory & Lose" and then create a trigger called Defeated . In there you will make this:
And then just do this with all the players .. If you want a respawning system too .. then go to the World editor help zone .. i have uploaded a continue and revive system there .. anyway back to the tutorial . Now the whole result for this map should be that when the game starts .. you will be given a hero (paladin) and then the job is to protect the big arcane factory from the evil ice trolls and other creeps that is respawning evry 6.00 seconds of game time
This is the end of this tutorial .. i really hope somebody out there could use it .. anyway i would like someone to say what the think about this ..
so bye bye xD
