Hows this for a map I am planning on making?

White: Common
Orange: Rare
Red: Next to Never
Gold: Good Luck!
Blue: If you find this one, You are god!
Teal: If you can even hope to find this one, You might as well be the God of the Gods, because this one is next to impossible!
EDIT: I have to go now, but when I come back I will finish up the list.

 

[Kao]

[Edit]I am coming up with Unit Groups.

Still: Should I have mixed groups? Such as a 'Transporting Group', or 'Speed Group', or 'Spell Group'?

 

[Lwek]

Kao, instead of triple posting, use the

instead.

Anyways, looks great. Do you have the map already making?

 

[Kao]

Whoa, I didn't notice that I even Triple posted. But, I was using the edit button in the Unit Groups post. I've edited that many times...

Actually, I am just planning the map out first. Considering that there will be 200+ (Hopefully) locations for unit possibilities, I might have to make the map 256x256 only. But, if Starforge works when I get back (Im in santa Rosa), hopefully I will be able to make a bigger map.

Also: The terrain WILL be a pain in the ass. Considering there is no 'randomize' button, I have my work cut out for me....But, if someone is willing to make terrain after I am finished with all the unit possibilites, then someone can help me!

 

[tassadar920]

can you explain the map again plz? thx.

1: beware, there are only 256 locations per map maximum (255 if you count location 0)
2. why have hundreds of possibilites? Why not just have 40 or so different combos (makes using switches to randomize much easier)
3.
White: Common
Orange: Rare
Red: Next to Never
Gold: Good Luck!
Blue: If you find this one, You are god!
Teal: If you can even hope to find this one, You might as well be the God of the Gods, because this one is next to impossible!

Lil excessive... i;d go to:

White: Very common
Orange: Common
Red: Rare
Gold: Extra Rare
Blue: Special Rare (only available at certain times, when your REALLy lucky)

 

[Kao]

tassadar920: Well, I could do the 'randomize' option, but I don't want someone to be ina battle with another player, stumble on a beacon that would usually give 4 marines, and suddenly get 2 carriers. 2 Carriers would incinerate his opponents.

Also: You said Blue: Special Rare

What do you mean as Special Rare? Certain times? Meh....

Oh and by the - Hoping to find this would be something like a 1x1 location in the most awkward of places, guarded by some neutral (but invincible units that wont kill you) units.

 

[tassadar920]

Special Rare: At certain times, a certain beacon/area on the map will have the power to award a player a 'god' type unit (suuuuper powerful)

Well neways, i still don't understand the main part of the map yet, can u explin more? )gtg, school)

 

[Kao]

Uhhh, ok sure I'll explain it.

There will be anywhere from 2 - 5 (or 6) players.

Each Player will be designated a 'Base'.

A 'Base', however, will consist of a Starting point, at which when they die- the General (The Main Leader/Hero) will respawn by himself at the 'Base'. Around the base will be very minor defense (2-3 bunkers with 2-3 marines each), all invincible- of course for Anti-Camping measures.

Second, every time you get another set of units, they will come with a 'commander'. You may only have up to 5 (or 6) commanders at one time. With each commander you get a variety of units, ranging from one unit to 5 units. Super weak to super powerful. However, to keep battle frisk (and to promote hit and run tactics) you will have a MAXIMUM unit count (not including heroes) of 24 (or 30, haven't decided.).

Also, you many think that you could just-Mass heroes! No. You may only have up to 6/7 (including 'General' ) heroe's at one time.

Yes, there is a dark archon in the map. The MC will cost all of his energy. However, if you think that you could just MC other Generals, thats where you are wrong. Each General will be the same unit- Infested Duran. If you have 2 or more Infested Duran's, all your units will be killed and you will respawn, suffering a -1 to your Ladder Status.

I hope you get the point now.

 

[Induhvidual_1]

how do u make d triger for getting minerals after each kill???

thx in advance

 

[Kao]

CONDITIONS:
Always
Conditions or actions? I don't remember)--> Current Players kills X (Number ) of X (Units).
ACTIONS:
Add X (Number) of X (Resource).
Preserve Trigger.

Is that right? I haven't touched the SC editor in a long long time...

 

[Kao]

*Bump* time to resurrect this map! Who wants to help me?

There have been editors, that allow you to surpass the maximum amount of loacations!

And I'll be glad to help with anything!

 

[Kao]

Get me a program that gives more than 256 locations! And I might need help on balancing the map if I ever finish. You guys (whoever wants to help) should start thinking of combo's like:

Weak Ground Terran Units
Strong Ground Terran Units

Weak Terrain Air
Strong Terran Air

Etc....(for all three races)

Then "Spell-caster" groups, such as medics, defilers, dark archons, vultures with infinite mines doing little damage and no attack damage, stuff like that.

Also thinking of spells placed on the map (like 50% enemy health, etc) would be nice.
