Q: Could somebody help me with the "Left 2 Die" achievements including the brutal in 5 days achieve? I have seen the threads outlining how to do it but I need someone to help me along.

is there a way to bring a terrain texture set I made in one map into another?

EDIT: nevermind, I figured it out. you can just copy and paste it >.<
EDIT 2: oh, and you have to copy+paste any custom textures too.. figured that out the hard way

unless the Korhal ones have their own extra fog (I don't think they do) you can change the fog settings in the data editor.\

Q: How can I make so exactly 2 workers work perfectly at 1 mineral patch? When the first one is finsihed, the second worker starts mining etc. If a third worker is added, it does nothing to increase the income. Only and exactly 2 workers are perfect. So if a base has 8 mineral patches, exactly 16 workers is perfect to be fully saturated.

What values can I change to accomplish this?

There isn't really a simple answer to this but I believe you would need to change Behaviors in the Data editor, possibly some abilities as well

Q: Is it possible to make doodads die to creep via the data editor (like trees get creeped for example)? If yes then how?

Hmm, I think you would need to create an Actor for the doodad you want to make die or whatever. Then you'd need to make an Actor Event for when it gets touched by creep. Use Msg Type: Signal and for actions do a model swap, you'll need to pick a model to use or create a new one. Its something along those lines...

Q: I want to create a watchtower which does not reveal around itself but reveals a random different area on the map. There are two straightforward ways to do this as far as I know:

A: Since the watchtower simply shares its vision with whatever unit that controls it, is there a way to give a unit a nonstandard vision pattern in the data editor, as in, make a region part of the vision of a unit?

B: With triggers, however, the watchtower.ability.capture ability is known to be bugged and in fact not fire an event when a watchtower is captured from what I read on the internet, is there another way to do this?

In the lighting-editor under the tab "key". There´s a polar coordinate system. Move the green dot around.

Hmm its no coordinate system. But its a big circle. You´ll see it.

But my understanding is that you have to do something else for it to be a playable melee map on battle.net. Any advice?

I guess you´ll have to make a custom texture which is a copy of your existing texture and moved a bit.

Ah that's a shame, thanks Aunvilgod.

Q. Is there any way to 'cut off' doodads? I want a decal to end at a certain point but can't squish it. I can't overlay another doodad on top as I need the texture underneath to show.

Can somebody PM me the names of some good "Deception" maps? I'm looking for something similar to Parasite. I already know about Phantom but I'm looking for something closer to a horror/deception RPG where somebody is attempting to kill all the other players.

Are SC2 maps bigger than BW maps?

There is the mafia game, but its more of a social game then a RPG, I remember in W3 there was a werewolf game, but I don't know if there is one in SC2 as well.

I got problems with the analyzer, when I put maps there, it doesn't include them in the analyzer, compared to the maps already there (blistering sands, SoW and scrap station). It might be cause they are listed as shortcuts, unlike the maps already there,but I donnu how to fix it :S if anyone has any idea it would be really nice

I updated my TL profile with a team icon, but it's not showing up? I've tried updating it multiple times with different teams, but none of them show the team that I've chosen. What can I do to solve this problem?

In order to change the target for the Analyzer, you must edit a file called to-analyze.txt in the analyzer folder. You have to copy the entire path to the map file to that file (where indicated) in order for it to work correctly.

my to-analyze.txt looks like this:
+ Show Spoiler +


# to-analyze.txt

# This config file is only recognized globally, meaning it is
# only read by the map analyzer if it is in the same directory
# as the EXECUTABLE (not the same directory as a shortcut to
# executable)


# List any number of specific maps to analyze, and use the # character
# to comment out lines:

C:\Users\jacob\Desktop\Maps\Epimetheus.SC2Map
#C:\BLAH\BLAH\CommentOut-WontBeAnalyzed.SC2Map


# If a directory is listed, all maps in it are analyzed.
#C:\BLAB\BLAH\ADirectoryOfMaps

# put an 'r' in front of a directory if you want the map analyzer to
# recursively search that directory for maps to analyze
#r C:\BLAB\BLAB\AnalyzeThisDirAndSubDirs

where C:\Users\jacob\Desktop\Maps\ is my map folder
and Epimetheus.SC2Map is the map I want to analyze, I change this value every time I want to change what map.

you could also probably also create a new "analyze maps" directory, and set the analyzer to analyze all maps there, and just copy maps there that you would like to analyze.

@blubbdavid:

this is an excellent guide to sizes in sc2 maps: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=191556
