Have a few problems, Spawn, start location, waves, etc.

[Bertil-Serup]

Hey, this is my first thread/comment.
I have alot problems so i would ask if any of you could just fix some of them. I start'd using editor a day ago, and already love it.

If any of you remember "X hero siege", i'm making a map like that, here's the probs:
1: Waves, How?! i have actually no idea how to make waves yet, i really need help for this!
2: Start locations, i just found out how to set the 5 peons/peasents etc. Off, but, i still spawn alot of the big castles. ( Yes i use alot defferent players )
3: Tavern. If you played footy or something else, you normally start somewhere, with a wisp, one lumber, and some taverns fill'd up with heroes.
If you buy one, they spawn another place. How can i do this?

Hope you guys can help me out, thanks

wah, seem like you are totally new to editor, there are too many to explain, what i can tell you is to read more trigger and figure it out. Once you manage to do that, then only make hero siege.

please learn to walk first before want to run

Yea, i thought so, i already add'd a fine race to a wintermaul wars, and one to a warcraft maul, i played with some normal maps, and then i wanted to download a x hero, and then add a hero. But my internet was down there, so i tryed to make one. As you can hear, i am, very new. But, cant you learn something about "trigger"... Cant understand what they are for etc.

        • If (((Player((Integer A))) slot status) Equal to Is playing) then do (Unit - Create 1 Curier for (Player((Integer A))) at ((Player((Integer A))) start location) facing Default building facing degrees) else do (Do nothing)

this is my trigger for map initialization.trigger manage and manipulate everything in game.
As you can see triggers are made from 3 things:
-events
-conditions
-actions
So when game meet your events and conditions are made then the actions starting.
Making "stupid"triggers are a point to start.When i was this was my strategy to lear.
For any other questions im here .

Thanks, i'll be testing that, i can see what you canons200 meant, i already got someone to run to the middle! Yay, Thanks guys

goodies, i've been working alittle with triggers now, 2 questions, i need to set some npc's to run to the middle, and then some other in 5 secs, etc. etc. etc. How can i time it? I can get them to run now, thats it. Second question, Where can i set of fog? I dont want any fog at all. Something like the "Iseedeadpeople" cheat please.

• Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for (Picked player) emitting Visibility across (Entire map)

this is to create visibility nfor all players on entire map
and for the time you should use this action

• Wait 2.00 seconds

or use periodic event that start same actions over and over and ajust them with another trigger that stop when you want

Maybe you could use my Spawn and Move Systems.
You can easily change the waves and disable / enable them.

I'll try that out, And btw, thanks ultimate

 

[Anachron]

If you need help implementing it (because its vJass) you need Jass New Gen Pack (JNGP) in order to make it work. You can get it here.

Okay, That was way to much complicated for me... yet, i'll take a look at it later As the other guy, canons200, said, learn to walk before you run, and i only used the editor a few days. Just thought it was easy to spawn mobs. But thanks

 

[Anachron]

Sorry dude, I gave a lot of functionality to it. Have fun programming.

i only want to give you one advice for spawm and other.
if you are using something already make by someone u will never learn.Learn to make yourself using different events or other depend on your map startegy .Take a look on my spawm trigger.This create a numbers of creeps on 8 regions if players are playing (avoiding spawm in points where players aen`t playing,make map more realible),maybe help.In this trigger is also an event when wave is finishing

Half true, half false. Learning to use someone others code will give you 50% of the stuff you need in future. In fact, I often use other ones codes to make a base framework of what I am programming. If you understand how the other codes work, you will be able to make a good code too.

 

[canons200]

Well, it really depends, if that is gui, most probably he will learn, if jass.............hard for a newbie to start

 

[Anachron]

If you start with (v/c)Jass / ZINC you won't have the difficulty to switch from GUI to jass.

Ultimate, Is this dont work, what should i do?:

 

[Anachron]

It doesn't work? Give us the code you used.
