How can I make a character chooser like In the warchasers map. You know, at the start you are a wisp and you move your wisp onto the circle in front of a hero and then you are the hero.

this is done with regions
first make a region around ure circle call it say unit chooser one

the trigger is...
event: Unit enters unit chooser one
condition: unit type = to wisp
action: create one (unit type) for owner of triggering unit at center of (region where u want the unit to be created)
action 2: remove triggering unit from game

I got the builder to work, not sure exactly what I did but now I have a new problem. Like everyone else I want an ice tower and a frost tower. The frost tower and ice tower both do little damage, but slow entire groups of enemies with frost breath. I have frost breath on each of the towers, with no additional abilities. The towers do not slow down enemies though. I have the area of effect set high, the area of effect targets set to ground air debris, and I know the towers are hitting a lot of people because early on lots of people die from them. Can anyone tell me how to actually make them slow down guys?

not sure if this is what you want but you could give the building the frost arrows ability and give it an insanely huge amount of mana and an insanely huge mana regen.

Can you please tell me how to get the marine model to work on warcraft 3 like what I need to do.

csdeathguy@hotmail.com

they are included in UMSWE by Scio. You probably want the nooby version (standard version just has the hidden units). This is available at: http://www.umsmaps.com/files/UMSWE3.6.zip
unzip to ure warcraft 3 directory, and open UMSWE3.6NB.exe

its in the main mpq for wc3. you dont even need to download it, just use mpq2k or tech mpq and "unzip" the mpq and find ability.slk




it just occured to me i really should have put all of these ^ in one post. srry, can a moderator merge them somehow? this is my last one i promise.

 

[Dofanic]

I'm new here, i created a thread to know how to fix a "Bug".
DemonMarine posted, but he said "no double posts!"
So i went here, now here's the problem:
I created a custom unit based on the "Marine" model (the starcraft one), and i called it "Future Troop".
I saved the map, played it offline to check if it worked and it was all ok (i killed it ).
After i played it online with other players the unit wasn't there!!! It pratically banished.
I also created a unit before the future troop, based on the gnoll model, and it worked fine for both on-line - off-line playing.
Now, can you tell me how to fix that bug (The unit doesn't appear)
Thx alot

I created the map with the umswe editor

 

[Dofanic]

was to tired and frustrated to post last night like i said i would =p so i post it now.

ok i got the spell editor working and i've altered some of the spells, but now, how do i get those spells into my map? i saved my changed to a file called "testing.slk" and dunno how to get those changes into my map..

no good, you have to resave it as abilities.slk and attach it to ure map using an mpq program. take note that if u reopen the map in the editor after tagging on ure spells, the world editor will automatically delete it. SO! what has to be done is ure spells have to be based off of an original spell. And all refrences to the spell in world editor will come out as ure new spell.
I'm pretty sure on this, but you may want a second opinion cause spell editing isnt my forte'.
EDIT: definetly backup ure mpq before tinkering with it.If you mess up one file in it u may have to reinstall wc3. (which is bad if ure like me and lost ure cdkey)

hmmm... is it the marine being created using a trigger? (some triggers mess up online....) You sure someone else didnt kill it first? no idea, im just pulling at straws here. If you like, you can e mail me ure map with a brief description of what you need to happen, and ill fix it for you.
sorry i cant be of more help...
def e mail it to me (Flounder177@hotmail.com) and ill take a look at it, try and fix, and send it back to you. put Snakes Marine as the subject so i dont accidentally trash it.

once again, sorry i cant help more :usad
anyone else got any ideas ?

 

[Dofanic]

my spells are now saving on the map and such, but now i need to figure out, how to i edit the spell info? it still shows the default info of the spells, is there a way for me to change this? by this i mean it still shows my WW skill info as its default for lvl 6, doing X dmg for X seconds. how do i edit this? i want it to say instead, lvl 1 does 10dmg for 2 secodns, lvl 2 20dmg for 3 seconds, or such.

I'm also wondering, how can i change which slot the spells go in? i just as a test tried to give my blademaster WW and avatar. and well, only 1 shows up. how can i move them?

(i think i've editied this post about 6times now, i keep asking, playin with it more tryin to figure it out then gettin it and editing my post =p)

 

[Pziko Snake]

To SHEEP:
I never Used Scripts, i sent you the map, and... like i said in the other thread, the unit is owned by "neutral hostile" player, as you can see in the map.

 

[CyberneticSheep]

Looked at it, kinda strange why it wont work, but now he is created using triggers 25 seconds in. Should work....
anyway, happy testing

 

[Pziko Snake]

Thx sheep, testing it right now (offline works) now it's the time to test it on-line...

 

[Pziko Snake]

I tested it on-line... IT DOESN'T WORK!!!...
what a sad day....
If anyone can help here....

Bounty

HELP...

Im making a map similar to the custom game footman wars.
Everything is done except one thing, the bounty. I dont know how to make the trigger or unit edit so when you kill a unit you will get money, just like when you kill creeps except it is another players unit you kill for money.

I tried to set the bouty in the unit editor but it doesn't work..

HELP HELP

 

[IceDevil9]

OK DecoY, it's rather simple. Set the bounty in the editor. Than run this tirgger:

Events:
Game-Map Initilization

Conditions:
NONE

Actions:
PLayer-Turn Player Flag On/Off (Turn Give Bounty on for PLayer [ whoever, but if it is all of them, than group them and choose the group, or just put the action multiple times, changing the player # each time ]
