disappearing buildings

[Unregistered]

I'm a newbie to the editor, so bear with me. I'm trying to make a map called "Barracks War," the equivalent of Star Trek Armada's "Yard War." Basically, you get a barracks, unlimited resources, and you pump out units as fast as you can until you decide to attack.

I have 3 problems:

1. I placed the barracks 2 or 3 tiles outside of my starting location. When I tested the map, the barracks disappeared, leaving only the starting command center.

2. I don't know how to set the resources to infinte (or 99999, whatever).

3. I need to make sure that none of the players can build any other buildings besides the command center and barracks.

You need to have use map settings.
The trigger is set resources in the action section.
Click on Player in the toolbar then settings, and click the units tab. Set the buildings you want to change in there.

I'm the OPer, just got a screename. So anyway, I tried what you said. I went to scenerio, triggers, and made it like this (on the "all player" format):

Conditions: Always

Actions: Modify resources for current player to 9999999 gas and ore.

And it sill shows up as 50 ore and 0 gas.

Also, what exactly am I supposed to change in the player settings? I fooled around a bit, and the barracks still don't show up.

Yet another post:

I went to the battle.net website and the FAQ said that if my units aren't showing up or my triggers aren't working it could be a bunch of different problems. I've covered all of them except one that says I need to select Use Map setting as the game type when I start a new map. Except I don't see that option when I make a new map.

I'm assuming you are trying to make it in singleplayer.
There is a box that says Melee by default, click it and you can set use map settings.

 

[Russo7212]

It's not single player. And I don't see a "melee by default" box anywhere.

Alright, below the map list when you choose it in Custom game in single player, there is "Game type" then a bot to the right of it with an arrow pointing down, click and hold that and use map settings should be there.
