My forgotten realms project

[THE_Darkstar]

Some questions, Im making a Forgotten realms map because I havnt seen one yet and think it would be killer. It will include all your favorite chars. Drizzt, wulfgar, Etc.

Alas i am new to this....but that will not stop me I totally want to finish this project. I....just need some answers. I do not have TFT

I want to stick to the lotr type game but with some cool additions like naval battles, Pirates, hero customization, stuff that i shouldnt be doing lol.

Anyways to the questions

How do i make units spawn when a castle is made in all those lotr games out there?

I know i cannot directly customize doodads in Roc but is there another way, like to change the gates health?

Theres more ill be adding ill post them in this thread. I really whant this map to work and be unique like a combination or war and rpg I may be new but trust me...I have the determination to get it done


and hey...any help i would love you for lol

oh yeah lol

Im also wondering how to get that realy high view, like birds eye view.

Thanks again

Anyone?

Im not sure what you can and what you cant to do withotu having tft, so i will try to say everythign i know.

To make creeps spawn. Make a trigger like this:
Event- every x seconds of game
Coditions-((Playable map area) Contains (Castle)) equal to true
actions- Create Creep at center of Creep spawn.

Then make triggers that upon entering regions they would atack-move to next region until teh castle.

and as for the birds eye view, something like this i think:

Lock Camera
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        Camera - Lock camera target for <player> to <unit>, offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Default rotation

thanks ill try them out today I was messin around and think i figured a way out to change the gate health it goes like this

Events-Map Intialization
Coditions
Actions-Destructable-Set life of iron gate(Horizontal)0200<gen> to 5000

I think it works Ive yet to test it.

 

[THE_Darkstar]

ok...my above trigger didnt work :banghead: any ideas?


And another thing that has stumped me is how to get ships to float in water without sinking? I tried everything i could think of.

 

[Sargon]

Make their movement type "float," I think. Something like that, in any rate.

 

[THE_Darkstar]

[THE_Darkstar]

ummm dammit well i used vexorians optimer that brought it down from 537 to like 474 kb



but it still says its to big? I thought the limit was 500kb?

 

[Sargon]

You won't be able to attach a map that big to your post. Host it on another site (like rapidshare.de, which has already been mentioned).

> I thought the limit was 500kb?

IIRC, it's 400kB (slightly less). And that's for total, not per file.
