Raising water

[PrisonLove]

Hey so I was wondering how one would raise the water level and damage all ground units in the area where the water has been raised. I want to do the same thing they do in the Devil's Playground Mission of campaign, but not damage structures, only ground units.

How is it done?

The first thing you need to do is add the water to your map. When you edit the water settings, you can add different states such as height. Then you can use the trigger Set Water State to change the height of the water.

To damage units that are in the water, you need a periodic trigger which selects all grounds units (exclude structures) and check their ground height to see if they are in the water. If they are, add a buff to them to deal damage.

You can actually open up blizzard campaign maps by going File -> Open -> Campaign Tab. The map you are after is called TTosh01.SC2Map. It should be fairly simple to follow what they have done.

Thanks a lot I'll look into it.
