For this tutorial i will be making a basic Tower Defense.

Open up World Editor, or World Editor Unlimited. I will be using World Editor Unlimited which you can download here, http://www.wc3sear.ch/?p=Tools&ID=17

Okay,
step one: choose the size of you map, and the tileset you would like.
Only terrain half of the map, because then you can copy it and mirror it to make the map symmetrical for balancing issues. When your done with the terrain uncheck all boxes that you had checked and select your half of the map with the terrain. Go into Advanced ----> View Entire Map, this will make the next step easier. Then hit Control + C to copy the terrain you just did. Then hit Control + V to paste your terrain down. Line it up as best as you can then left click.
Now that you have done that select the part you just pasted and go into Edit ----> Mirror Selection Horizontaly, this will flip the terrain around so that it is the exact opposite of the other side of the map, therefore resulting in almost identical terrain.

Then Create a region in every spot where you would like a spawn to be. (it can be 2 regions or it can be 1)

Then set up a region everywhere you would like a creep to have to walk to before heading to the loading position. Then create towers and builders.

I attached the files with the triggers you will need for creating the triggers for everything. If i am missing anything please tell me.

Also i would have attached screen shots, but my IMG code is off and have no idea how to turn it on. and uploading a screen shot would require a lot more maximum space.

    We have been getting crazy numbers reported by the forum of people online the bots are going crazy on us I think it is AI training bots going at it at least that is what it looks like to me.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Most legit traffic is tracked on multiple Analytics and we have Cloud Flare setup to block a ton of stuff but still there is large amount of bots that seem to escape detection and show up in the user list of the forum. I have been watching this bullshit for a year and still cannot figure it out it is drving me crazy lol.
