Hit a roadblock.

[synxx]

Hi, I recently started enjoying making maps. Made a dungeaon crawl that is regularily hosted on USA EAST, a footman type map that didnt seem to catch on (due to all the clones of this type).

Now im working on a huge project, it's a DOTAish type map, but w/ some big differences, including cinematics w/ custom sounds and characters.

I made the map, did all the pathing triggers, all the leaderboard and bounty triggers, and the win/loose/control triggers.

So its done, after 2 weeeks, minus the heros.

ARGH, I have obviously done some serious surfing to teach myself how to do all above said things. But I can't figure out how to make custom spells for my custom heros. Ide like to have spells like summon zergling swarm or a damage over time spell.

There is no "ability" editor in my editor, and as far as I can tell, you just can't do it.

Theres got to be an outside mod or SOMETHING that allows you to do this. I see spell lists and downloads here, but after an hour of reading, still no guide.

Can anyone help me!??!?!?!?!??!?














---NEVER MIND

The frozen thwon has the ability editor built in. Heading to gamestop tomorow.

there are programs to help you with customs spells at wc3forge.com... where did you find out how to do pathing triggers? i havent found anything.

I just placed lots of regions along the possible paths.

Then for each one

Unit enters region

Unit type = (lets say alliance footman)

Issue attacking footman (to attack random point in next region)


Probably a ghetto rigged way to do it, but it works, most of my triggers are pretty unconventional I imagine.

Havent had any sticks yet, but also have a playable area trigger every 5 mins to send every unit to there respected attack points. like middle 1, 2 and 3, each one of these resets their pathing.

why are you issuing the action to the "attacking footman"? issue it to the "entering footman"
