I have bridge doodads and the units walk through them instead of over them. I'm not sure what to do. Use the road tool under Terrain instead | ||

1. When you select terrain is there a way to make editor show your selection in map editing window? I can see what terrain I selected in minimap only. Is it that way for everyone? 2. When you paste terrain is there a way to make editor show the preview of the terrain being pasted? Unlike units and doodads when I paste terrain I can only see a blue rectangle box representing edges of pasted terrain. 3. How do you use timers in editor? I am able to display a timer but it only shows 0:00:00 and I am unable to make it run. 4. I am making a melee map and it has a graphical glitch. The glitch is visible in-game and it looks like that: ![[image loading]](http://img52.imageshack.us/i/meleero2glitch.jpg/) It is not visible after I press V to switch to editor view settings. | ||

I am making a melee map and it has a graphical glitch. The glitch is visible in-game and it looks like that: Try using the smooth tool on it, usually if there are graphical glitches like that (also happens a lot with roads), using a height modifier will "reset" it. It is not visible after I press V to switch to editor view settings. Thats weird O_O | ||

For now I just want it to run. Like going from 0:00:00 to 0:00:01 to 0:00:02 and so on. My idea was to make an in-game clock that would show how much game time elapsed. Try using the smooth tool on it, usually if there are graphical glitches like that (also happens a lot with roads), using a height modifier will "reset" it. Thats weird O_O It's indeed weird and I am not sure which tools exactly you meant but I managed to fix it with "Same Cliff Level" tool under "Cliff" brush from terrain layer. Also don't you ppl think that having mapmaking section of the forum would be nice? I feel like editor related topics spammed the general SC2 forum since the editor release. Oh, and I have yet another question: I somehow removed the fog from the very bottom parts of the map, how can I bring it back? | ||

Just a thought; I see a lot of remakes of old sc1 maps (which I like) - but am slightly worried due to small reasons, eg: new high ground mechanic. People use High ground to make a "barrier" feel around bases,natural expos.. when doing so you are making it easy for someone to abuse this. I think with this new VERY powerful editor and new SC2 mechanics, new kinds of maps should be created. | ||

I think with this new VERY powerful editor and new SC2 mechanics, new kinds of maps should be created. There are a lot of options here. I've been using double-high cliffs and pits (bottomed out cliffs) as protection from reaper/colossus, but I have also been designing narrow backdoor cliffs into mains to allow for that kind of play. I've also been including small ledges near kill zones for those units and others to use during battles to promote use of the high ground LOS advantages, which I feel can still be important, especially as the mid game approaches. The biggest concern I've had when making maps is Blink abuse, but there are plenty of mains in current ladder maps that could be Blinked into and never are, for whatever reason, so I'm not going to worry about it too much for now. What map-makers should look for in old maps are traffic patterns and kill zones. I've done a very liberal remake of Heartbreak ridge that follows the same expansion flow and should theoretically force conflicts in the same areas the original map was known for. For me, that's the most important thing to take from the tournament maps, and use it to inspire new, original maps. | ||

I also made my maps without cliffs to abuse although i'm thinking of making rev lt lol i just can see a ton of abuse on that map with cliff jumpers. | ||
