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 ^.^ | ||

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: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/M0GcM.jpg) this is ingame: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/S4gRG.jpg) 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. edit2: and the images are kinda not resized, open them in a new window to view them. | ||

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...

In other words erase custom changes to the standard melee data? OR 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) ============================-------------------=================== On February 01 2011 19:37 ihasaKAROT wrote: 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.

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!

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. | ||

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.. mapmaking chant (+ Show Spoiler + Barrin quote | ||

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: + Show Spoiler + tl has a thread where one can change his/her name (profile on tl) ...Above 500 posts, one will no longer be offered this privilege... check this out for yourself... "mynameissmart" is something to think about if you're gonna want to extend your stay on tl...) Your call... | ||

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? | ||

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...  ---hopping hoping someone else answers here--- | ||

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. | ||
