Hey i have some questions... What is the trigger that allows you to creat a supply depot or an academy or whatever have that building turn into a bunker and automatically fill with marines/firebats ext.. Also how do you enable wav looping so you can have a continous music playback? And finally.(few) how do you enable more then 1 probe/drone/scv to mine at one mineral field?:grunt

See Attached Map...

About the "Mine at one mineral field" Its Called Stacking! Use SCMDraft to Stack minerals, and all other Buildings. You will have to go into Options - Units - Allow Stack in order to be able to Stack anything.

Music in a map is moronic if you ask me, but sounds are different. As long as they are NOT looped, I enjoy a good sound here and there in a map. If I join a game and music starts to play as soon as the map starts, I wait to see if it loops, if it does, I leave the game. It is a dumb idea to put music into a map. Period.

I actually recommend against music/sounds in maps as they (like switches) seem to increase file size quite a bit - causing longer download times.

But that's a preferance.

Since you use StarForge, you can stack mineral fields in that as well. Simply place the mineral field, select it, right click on it, pick Stack... and enter the number of mineral fields you want stacked at that location. Word of warning though, if you have only two players in the map, you can stack up to 72 mineral fields per player, for four players you can only stack 48 per player, and six-eight, only 24 per player. Why? Because of the retarded unit limit per map, which is slightly above 1600, have too many minerals stacked, and you will get those "Cannot place more units!" error messages.

You CANNOT change how much minerals the SCVs/Drones/Probes can carry via a map editor, you need to make a mod in order to do that, and you are NOT ready for that.
