Mirroring Map

[Lord_Phoenix]

I'm trying to create a series of ladder maps, and hopefully one of them will get elected into a new map rotation of somewhere...

anyways, I have about half the map completed... I was wondering how you get a map to successfully copy/paste terrain, creeps, etc. the for the second half of the map?

Essentially I just need a 180 mirror image of the map.

welll it can be done... (probably easier then i explane here but in my oppinion its the safest way)..

first of all make 2 copies of your map..
one will be youre back up, second is the mpa you will be copieing things from..


the very first thing we'll copy and paste will be the ground..
1. open the map you use to copy from..
2. open the tool palette wit terrain selected(just to be sure your on the ground level)..
2. press ctrl-a (wich works just like in word, let you select the whole map)
3. go to "edit" in the bar witch also has tools, senario, etc.. (dont know how this bar is called)
4.click on rotate selected 180*
5.deselect the ground
6. select the "selection bruh(space)" option (that the square with holes in the edges).
7.Select everything you need from the terrain..
8. press ctrl-c
9. go to the map where you create the full map.
10. press ctrl-v and paste it on the right spot..

now the doodads..
1.go to the map where you create the full map..
2. open the tool palette wit doodas selected(just to be sure your on the doodad level)..
3. press ctl-a
4. press ctrl-c
5.press ctrl-v
6. go to the edit dropdown again and click twice "rotate paste 90* CW"
7.get youre doodads intro the right position and place them

now last but not leats the units

1.go to the map where you create the full map(dont do a thing if your already there.. just skip this step)..
2. open the tool palette with units selected(just to be sure your on the unit level)..
3. press ctl-a
4. press ctrl-c
5.press ctrl-v
6. go to the edit dropdown again and click twice "rotate paste 90* CW"
7.get youre units intro the right position and place them

hope you dint make anny mistakes on the way (or i give you the wrong instructions) and youre done with mirroring half of your map..
