do they have to be opened by them selfs or can they all be put into one program because that would make life so much easyer

 

[-MatriX-]

No, they can only be opened seperately. When it's done, StarForge will be the only map maker that you'll need... But it's still far from done.

Can you read?

The next version of StarForge is coming very soon...

Also...Matrix, why is Archn in the list of people you respect...?

 

[Bolt Head]

Speaking of that is Kamikaze a member here? or are you talking about (U)Kamikaze?

 

[(V)aster)V(ind]

well heim, he is saying that it still needs lots of work, like working out some of the bugs. I do believe that it is still prob in beta, when it is in its final stage, then starforge WILL become the ULTIMATE map making utility

 

[KillerMe]

Wow, I'm honored that my name is on your list matrix. I do see arch's name though, maybe it's new since the your post heimdal.

On topic: I use X-tra editor for everything except terrain. I leave terrain to starforge (rocks). If you don't care about square/rectangular terrain just use complete x-tra editor.

thxs umm my trobles are triggers i dont know what does what so it get confuzed so that could help me too i should look in stickys to see but if there isnt one there should be

 

[Heimdal]

The starforge trigger editor isn't even close to done, which makes it rather hard to use. I'll be writing some documentation for it in future versions, but I think that it's not too hard to understand if you have a good grasp of the SE trigger editor. It's definitely not for beginning map makers, at least not yet.

ya see there my problom im not an expert map maker really this is my first one so the easyer the better

 

[rune_warrior]

wadda you need help for triggers on?
i believe the sticky has some help on how to do triggers.

 

[battle plans]

ya i found that sticky it help on most things but i dont get the how to make the comp do things like in marine speacail force the comp attacks u i dont know how to make them do things like that

 

[wasup999999]

well, all u have to do is do the order trigg.

Ex (for something like marine sf):

conditions:
if player 1 brings atleast 1 of any unit to "Set the mass attack"

actions:
issue order to all any unit owned by player 8 at "Mass Attack": Attack to "The base".

end Ex______________________________________

the trigger is actually called "ORDER" on the trigger list.

if u need nemore help w triggs just ask
