What Feature would you want in WE?

[Romek]

Mmm another thread of this

I'd like just eaisier to understand WE (For when you start out of confused), and the possilities to b limitless. Almost like making your own events, conditions, and actions.

Like....

Stapler Receives 23-45 damage from a single unit.

No condition

Make (attacking unit) a destructible, with a 15 second Re-Transform timer.

That'd be funny
Make a peon a tree. which can be harvested ><

And about the AoE previewer, I think he/she meant you can see how big an area of effect is in the editor.

> Auto leak fix
Wanting this makes it sound as if leaks are something "evil Blizzard" purposely added to make everyone's life harder. You can't expect a program to guess when you want something removed.

> Estimated Loading Time Calculator
Loading time depends on the PC you're running the map on. People would claim it's inaccurate if it existed.

Auto Leak Fix
Well its not actually deleting something
It is like a window with like scan and fix
then the computer will make an invisible temporary variable
and you may undo the changes through a text with all the history

ESTIMATED hehhehehe
it says estimated loading time

Processor - Pentium D
Estimated Loading Time - 10 seconds

Processor - Pentium 4
Estimated Loading Time - 12 seconds

Something like that.

I want the WE to be able to create milkshake that my computer will crap out of its USB port.
*cough*
Oh! And a model maker would be nice...

> It is like a window with like scan and fix
How do you expect it to know when you want some variable destroyed/removed?

> Something like that.
Oh, that makes sense, just make it generate a list with all the supported CPUs with all memory sizes at all the possible speeds with all operating systems and all HDD performances.
Piece of cake. Shouldn't be too long of a list either.

...Hilarious -.-

Model makers and Image makers wouldn't be good... They'll probably be pretty rubbish, and waste space if you can access the better Photoshop and 3ds Max.

 

[Prometheus]

How about a WE addon for PS and 3Ds Max, they have a 3Ds Max one for the CNC3 editor.

 

[Romek]

What add-on could you have for photoshop?
Borders? < you can get PSD's quite easily

 

[Prometheus]

Just a fully functional mini PS built into the editor and an addon that allows it to open .blp's.

 

[Romek]

The *.blp thing would be awesome come to think of it

 

[Lobster]

it would be nice to be able to create doodads (not just destructables) in the editor.

Having access to all terrain types (Good news for people looking forward to SC2: I think they said they will have that.

Forgot about doodads!

yes thats annoying.
you gotta make a dummy unit with the effects model :/

CODING INSIDE THE OBJECT EDITOR.
> well, for some things like...

damage = agi + 100
damage = 500 / (number of units in range)

THE ALL-PURPOSE BASE ABILTIY.
> takes care of tedious triggering.
> you could modify it so it can...

cause line damage? how many lines?
cause aoe damage? point target? instant cast?
has missle art? etc.

 

[Insane!]

a hero stats preveiwer

main attribute = strength
strength = 5

damage =5-10 + 5

 

[darkRae]

I'd like World Editor (and Warcraft) to be able to downgrade an upgrade
So we can now modify a unit's attack range easily.
(that's just one example)

You mean 'piece of cake' ?

 

[Crown e]

Add Tool tips for the object editor part. That way you would be able to see what each thing does without looking it up!

 

[Jackal]

They could also make the damage thing simpler, instead of using dices you could just do a set range.

 

[Ninja_sheep]

I know I can use specific events by using the 'add event' action but it's still annoying.

 

[BlightWarden]

i just wish it was easier for me to make variables, arrays and all that complex stuff. also wish it didnt take mass lines to write an ability trigger.

simpler importing of skins, models and icons.

 

[sjakie]

I could use some jass inside the world editor, that would be handy.
And maby a bit simpler jass codes.

And if you zoom out, you should be able to see the whole map, it turns black (at least, mine does) when i zoom out to much.

And some handy tool to build things on exact places. Like, i built a tower and i want another tower at the exact opposite spot on the map. Something that can do that instantly would be quite handy

Oh, and a normal damage system, not that weird dice thing, i dont understand a dam of it. It would be handy if you could just enter the min and max damage.

Thats about as easy as it gets...
How much easier do you need?
You make a variable in the editor. Name it, Choose its type...
And use it.
