Need help making a TD map....

[SuPeRBeaST11]

I have the terrain set up for a TD map i am trying to make, but how do i make the monsters spawn and the lives go down each time a monster gets to the middle?

 

[intel]

ask the ppl who make td games... when u start a game in the loading screen there should be an email of the creator of that map so try it...

 

[SuPeRBeaST11]

Lol, tryed that, i don't have any TD maps that actually say who made it in loading screen...

Well, Im used to the starcraft Editor, but I havn't even tried the WCIII one. To make monsters spawn, you need to use a trigger or script to create them when you want to.
As for lives, you just have a counter that goes down every time a unit gets to the center. I think the editor uses code, and if you give the the functions, I can write it for you.

I'll try to give an example of what the code may be like to loose a live (The creating I would definately need to know the functions first):

if(unit.location()==location1)
{
livesCounter--;
unit.remove();
display("Live Lost!\n");
}

Again, I have no Idea what the functions are, but I think that should be what you do...

Lol Whoa!!

Ok its not that dificult as right strings, or variables.

All you do is make a trigger that says

Now
to start make the region(s) that the creeps are gonna start at.

Event:
All units in playable map area owned by neutral hostile are dead.

Condition:

Action:
Unit - Create (number of units created) (unit name) center of region (select one fo the four regions)
Unit - " " " " " " "
Select another region if u have more than 1.


Even:
Unit Enters Region (make where all teh units are going)

Condition:
Unit Owned by Neutral Hostile

Action:
Add -1 to score board <<< not sure since i havent worked with Boards.



And set meelee intialization trigger to

Event:
Initialization

Condition:

Action: One of the actions add a new one
Add (howevermany lives ur giving them) to last created scoreboard

HAHAHA well, I don't know anything about the map editor. I know C++ and Java, but it looks like the World edit is less scipt based than I though.

goto the n00bs guide on TDs thread here

Best advice though... Play around with the triggers and do new things, cuz TDs are starting to get a little stale...
