Hi I'm new to these forums, and I was hoping they would help with my knowledge of the World Editor. Anyway some friends and I were hanging around online a few days ago, and playing some new games. We got particularly interested in the paintball/sniper maps, so we decided to make our own paintball map from scratch. Naturally, I've got a few questions.
1. 3rd Person View. This would be sweet if we could get it to work on our paintball map. Unfortunately I suck with camera triggers, and the only way to explain this to me is with detailed tutorials. So, does anyone have a link to a good 3rd person tutorial? Basically I just want to trigger 12 cameras to follow units around in 3rd person view, and be able to move whenever the units move instantly, or revive instantly.
2. Player Names. Most paintball maps have things like "DeputyDog slaughtered Koala113" or "smellyjacobs: Killing Spree". I was wondering how to trigger this. I set triggers to say things like "Red got splattered", but that's not cool enough. How do you insert the player's name into the text string on the action trigger? And if I'm using the wrong trigger which one sho9uld I use?
3. Computer players online. When the games are not full house I don't want the computer players to still be there. This would cause exsesive spawn killing. Anyways how do I delete a unit if they are not user controlled?
4. Creep respawns, My paintball map has creeps. They are mainly just to gain experience anf money. I wanted them to respawn, but I can't find the right trigger. I've experimented with a trigger like this:
EVENTS
every 120 seconds of game time
CONDITIONS
There are no units in region Wolf 3 RS equal to true
ACTIONS
create wolf for neutral hostile at center of region Wolf 3 RS...
I don't have the exact triggers, because the map is at my friend's house, but those are basically right. So anyways what triggers should I use for respawning? I just want the creeps to respawn like every 2 minutes as long as there are no units in their respawn region.
The Map
My paintball map doesn't have a name, and right now I don't have a download for it, because it is at my friend's house. I will run over some of the features it has.
-Fully flushed terrain with numerous doodads and a cool looking layout
-12 player support
-Instaboats to move players across lakes
-around 10 custom items including paintball guns, upgraded paintballs, and cool gadgets
-named regions, for flavor when walking around the map
That's all I can think of right now, and maybe I will come back with a download when I am dones, becuase I need beta testers.
Also, why can't I host battle.net games? I tryed openeing ports in my firewall but still not working. Any ideas?
Thanks
