Need help creating custom map.

Hello All!

I need help building a map. Lets see if I can explain what I want to happen with my triggers...


Okay.

event: Player owned unit enters region A.

Action: 1 computer owned units spawns at region B ten times at one second intervals.
computer owned units attack towards region A.
Action: player acquires 1 mineral for each kill.

Is there a simpler way to do this? I want the units to be spread out thats why I wanted to interleave the units created. I also want this trigger to stop after a certain number of units is created, that being 10 units. Thanks!

This new map editor is awesome but sooooo over whelming. It appears that none of the old triggers from starcraft 1 were carried over

 

Event: Any Unit Enters Region
Condition: Triggering Region == Region A
Condition: Triggering Player == DESIREDPLAYER
Action: Repeat Actions 10 times:
-Action: Create DESIREDUNIT at Region B for COMPUTERPLAYER
-Action: Order Last Created Unit to Attack to Region A
-Action: Wait 1 Second

Event: Any Unit is killed
Condition: Killing Player? (You might have to do Owner of Killing Unit) == DESIREDPLAYER
Action: Modify Player Property-Add 1 Minerals for DESIREDPLAYER


I feel that all of these are self-explanatory. If you have any questions why something above is there, go ahead and ask. I will explain as best I can.

 

thanks a bunch, I figured it would be something to that nature but I actually could not find the exact triggers I was looking for, lol. thanks. I had the 10x's one but it only worked when the play entered or left the "region A"

 

So did the above work to your specifications?

 

working on it, just got home from work, will keep you up to date

 

Trying to figure out issuing an order to attack. I cant find attack, lol. but everything seems to be there!

Except for conditions, I dont understand the and/or/not/comparison crap.

 

okay, Im trying to create 50 units at region A and make them attack towards Region B then I want it to end. I cant figure this out. I dont have an "Attack to" trigger anywhere...

 

The trigger action is "Order Unit Group" then you find the ability "Attack."

 

right, but attack doesnt exist. when I type attack into the search bar nothing comes up for it.

 

Make sure you have it set to "Order targeting point" rather than the default "Order with no target."

 

ahhhh okay, will try that after work! Its not that this map editor is too difficult... its finding exactly what your looking for that difficult and time consuming. They should make a real search bar for units and triggers that will find what your looking for or what it thinks your looking for!

 

You just gotta be super methodical when using the GUI. Look at every single attribute you can define with every action, condition, and event. Be precise with your variables. Check over your work.
