Just read your post again but I still have no idea what you're talking about

What exactly is the analogy of the LOSB and the destructible rocks?

I want to have an area where people can send a unit that will activate LOSB.

in a nutshell:

Marine goes up small ramp beside third base and stands next to a Xel Naga Turret which makes LOSB appear in the choke to that base.

just triggered LOSB

sorry for being unclear ^.^

Space platform ground decals/decals

So I suppose these are the doodads used to draw lines, numbers and what else, but only one of the variations shows up in the editor, I have to launch the map ingame to see what I am doing, which I quickly became tirred of. Am I doing something wrong here or is it just the way these doodads works?

edit: some pictures to clarify

this is my editor:

so yeah based on what I see in the editor I am having a really hard time seeing what I am exactly doing with these doodads.

Nice find on those tileset based textures!

I have a question too. Is it possible to change the size (and footprints) if destructible rocks without loosing the melee tag? And if so, how?
cheers,
madsquare.


Priceless gift, thanks Dezi .. thanks Madsquare, always nice to see mapmakers share

No, you'll always loose the melee tag ..but you only forfeit a title, melee data/trigger/cp/lobby still works... (it's in fact very easy to go "over the line", loads of melee use out of it though)

How do you reset all data to parent data? In other words erase custom changes to the standard melee data?

I wonder how to change the model for a unit? Say I have a spine crawler and I want to change the model to Aiur Overmind Intestines?


No general reset (some things have it and don't work (because of copying issues) some have it and it works and some just don't have it).

Units have an actor which has a model... the unit and the actor both need be implemented properly so it works... in this case change the model.. no (resources are special).. to address this specificity scroll through to page 20/26 of this very thread (answer there somewhere)

Not sure, if we dont, we shud get one

Also, when texturing a map with lets say a set of big tiles, the tiles are set. You can 'paint' them in but you cant move the actual texture...
Or can you?
So for example when Ive got this:

I want to archieve this, by positioning the textures different and not the entire map:

black - wall
brown - tiling texture

Unit need actors (to play out graphically on screen) see earlier in this thread, use search function.. easiest is duplicating a unit and changing them

Sort-of a simple question, you can PM if it's not appropriate for here, but:

I want to make Xel'Naga Towers that trigger LOSB to activate in certain spots, rather than putting rocks down I think this would be a great alternative and add an extra emphasis on defense, and it allows an opposing player to know "Hey, once I pass these activated LOSB I am for certain in enemy territory"

thanks!


triggers are the best bet... shortest to accomplish your goal...

you might get it with a good ability/behavior relationship on 2 units: a custom xwtower and a losblocker, .. i'd try changing a xwt and then cheating by adding the los graphics then...

good luck, good idea...

When I create a second command card for the larva unit, I am unable to create multiple units off of the second command card without it switching back to the original command card.

Example: If I have two pages of units that can be built from a pool of larva, and I want to build multiple units from the second page (or the second command card), when I build one it automatically returns me to the first card, preventing me from quickly selecting units (either through holding or spam clicking).

This is a problem for my custom map because when you get upwards of 10 larva it's really difficult to build units quickly from the second page/command card. Is there any way I can fix this? I'm open to any workaround or other type of creativity, so if there is a less obvious solution I'm open to it as well. Thanks!


I thhhink 1.13 killed that one (some larvae bugs might still remain though)
but you must still change the "menu cards" by yourself to the proper implementation...

I think it'll be a lot of fun if there is a map that enables you to practice your forcefields, banelings dodges, marine marauder control against high templars, banshee hit-and-runs, etc...


There are already some... lots... seem to remember Qxc's was good early (dunno about now)

Tl resizing bugs, don't worry, just go 17/17cm (or variation for height) for your picture to be featured properly within site bounds with "max" quality

You should not give up... painting in the dark is shite... trust me i've done it.. you need to take the time to have them displayed properly (learning/teaching yourself will make your days that more productive).. the view menu is maybe all you need or the preferences on graphics test document maybe? .. ask again, i'll try to help if i'mnotnuked preemptively permanently ...

So you post a picture of it with random numbers and think someone can find the mistake? oO

Did you already try it on a new created map? You could change terrain/doodads of the map and upload it so people can try it out themselfs. Dunno what else you could do.

"Did you already try it on a new created map?"

This seems harsh but it's very true... ..sometimes it's very difficult to understand your own galaxy... (ie: a map does not work and you keep checking everything frantically until (you hope) you're gonna uncover your mistake in the "experimental" map you got yourself into)

creating a new one solves many problems

(wrong wiring is no longer playing with the desired effects) ... i've already binned several (cause i couldn't fix after loosing doodads such as lighting and i'm not alone...)...
this simple thread has got many answers on that subject (in earlier pages / thanks again for all you sharing mapmakers...)

Switching between "mold" layouts / lightings... etc has consequences... maybe refreshing (creating a new map) would help.. maybe it's a bug (from your graphics/hardware/other appli...) or from blizz, sounds to me like there are several graphics bugs unsolved...

Hope you solve this, will look into the fog with you... and do preemptively answer all the "simple questions" (such as those i asked and the view settings graph preerences etc) so we can best help..

Has it been published...? how is it in game? Maybe that would fix it
... like returning to the mothership..

What are your guyseseses opinion on a map without ramps? no ramp into your main that is... or perhaps a ramp up?? how do you think it would change for terran and protoss especially?
I dont drink. I dont smoke. I dont do drugs. I play video games, which i beleive is a far superior addiction to any of those other ones.

Ramp up no, you need the defenders advantage. Flat chokes are fine. Just be careful about pylon warp-ins

Is there a way to get the tooltip of a unit? The function to receive the tooltips of the units from the catalog returns an address of the tooltip. For instance, "button/tooltip/marine." However, I do not know how to access the actual tooltip from this value or ID. Any advice? Thanks in advance!

yes

The tooltip can be changed on units... take a standard unit and see how it's done...

Then implement it on a "new" unit (with same core /// addressing... keep the original up to the new last" value and type then type tooltip... presto new tooltip).

It takes a proper correlation between name and tooltip (name of unit and addressing) for it to work... (possibly losing you the melee title for your map in the process)...if it worked both field should be "interacting". Restate/rephrase problem if unsatisfied/ by this answer/way to start out.

Further unrelated advice:

Thanks adso! One further clarification if you are still on (or if anyone else can answer this for me :D ), is it possible to get or set a tooltip from a default unit button in the trigger editor? For example, I want to get/set the train marine button tooltip (General-purpose infantry.<n/><n/><c val... and so on) in the TRIGGER editor (not data editor). And if this is possible, how would i go about doing this?

And also, about my username... I didn't see a problem with it, it's been the same username I've used on everything (including SC:BW) since I was 10 years old haha. I just never switched over to another. Is it going to be a problem here?

No problem whatsoever... it's not gonna be liked by everyone though...
i just wanted to tell you that you have a post counter timer for the change...
If it's your fav nick it's all good...

Have a good tl

i haven't gotten into triggers so much...too busy having a life...
From the looks of it, many a mapmaker rely purely on triggers for everything, so i bet it's not problematic (might not be "publishable" online but i doubt it though (!.?).

gotto /tutorials/ if you need a specific quick answer...

Question?: When posting a map, authors often include "detailed" pics of cool random shots of their map in the post. The best pics are often the ones using the in game graphics.

How are these captured i.e- Is there a camera in the editor you can set to get the actual in game graphic and then do a print screen save or are these acutally captured in game and then cropped.

I use print screen & save. There are programs that will let you capture in game action as well. I'm not sure if printscreening in Windowed Fullscreen mode (check the graphics options in SC2) will capture the game or not
