Trigger Demo Maps

[Taligaro]

There are two great things about this idea!

One: It will give new map makers a new method of learning.
Two: It will hopfully lower the amount of people that unprotect maps to look at the way someone has done something.

The basic idea is if you have a way of doing something cool, make a demo map and upload it here. This could also serve as a place for 'requesting' demo maps for any trigger that can be done.

Hopefully you bigtime mappers will contribute to this and further help those of us who are new to mapping.

All maps posted here should be between 64x64 and 128x128. I doubt you will need anything larger. Also, the map should only contain the triggers that are NEEDED for the demo you are doing, nothing more.

Demos Available:
Anti-Maphack This is just a basic way of doing it for single and multi-player.
Fast Deaths Uses the Hyper Trigger
Hyper Trigger To use the Hypper Trigger, you must use a player that has no other Wait triggers. As far as I have tested, using Switches will not effect the Hyper.
Unit Death Guide Map Updated with a better version!


If one of you mods makes a demo and posts it, please edit this post with the direct link to the file like I've done with the Hyper Trigger demo I just uploaded. Thanks.

By order of Amantis, multi-posts are allowed here. At least she says its ok since you can only get one file per post.

Lwek's Notes: Temporarily Stickied. Thanks for the great idea. I'll use your maps and try to do something with it. Of course, your credit will be given.

Well I second this idea, sounds like a good idea to me.

I wanted to make one huge demo map but never had the idea to have our community submit our own demo maps. So send im in!
Demo maps you can make:
-location follow a unit
-make unit walk slower
-invisble bunker
-hyper triggers
-open and close doors
or if you have a cool trick you think nobody else knows, please submit them, or email them/AIM them to me.

For those of you who are completly new to making maps, I'm going to get the basics out of the way. Since I've only learned the basics myself, this should be fun for me.

Hyper Trigger
Anti-Maphack (anti-black sheep wall for single player)
AI Scripts (will have to experiment here, ive hardly used them)
Spawning for RPGs, Mass maps, etc...
Explosions, as seen in Bound maps
Locations that follow a unit
Casting Spells
Mana setup for spell casting

I'll probably add more, and as maps are added, the first post will be edited with links to each file.

First up, Hyper Trigger. An easy one at that.

 

[Taligaro]

Next up is Anti-Maphack (anti-black sheep wall for single player)

You don't have to use a civ, you can use any non-combat ground unit you want, just make sure that it can be killed in one hit.

You can add a message in there if you want. Like: "Cheating is not allowed!" or something like that. Its up to you.

I'm sure there is a better way to pull this one off for multi-player, but this is just a basic demo.

I've only played a few maps that use this. Some think its a waste, but it can be useful if you are making a single player only map and don't want people to cheat.

All you need to do to test this is start it up, enter black sheep wall, and see what happens.

Ok, enough talk, heres the map.

 

[Taligaro]

Next up is Fast Deaths, as seen in Bound maps.

Note: You can use any unit you want. Experiment, find out what blood patterns or explosion patterns you want to use.

Note 2: This one needs to have the Hyper Trigger in play. Its best to use the Hyper Trigger with a player that has no other Wait Triggers. Using Switches will not effect the Hyper.

This one is by far my favorite!

Unit Death Guide

This single map is the only source you need to find out which unit dies which way. This map contains both the triggers needed to duplicate each units death, AND you can load it up and SEE what each units death is!

Made by me, tested by SpX.

Map updated with a better version! The new version allows you to step onto a beacon to see that units death! Please download this new version!

A simple healing center.

What happens

You bring one unit (in this case a terran marine) to the healing location. It removes one healing unit (in this case a crystal) and changes your units hit points to 100%.


I have not tested it, but im pretty sure it will work.

Can i request a map? One where it has text that changes colours rapidly and looks awesome?

I *could* learn it myself, but that'd take time and a demo would test your skills

 

[Mystic-Death]

Umm

okey first, i didnt know which you wanted it for... briefing or in game text, so i just did in game text... its pretty much the same lol, this map lasts for about 5 seconds... :P goooood Luck!!

[glow=silver]Edit: Forgot to post map, and i just relized... i cant! grrr do i have to put it on a webpage or sum crazy thing like dat???[/glow]

 

[TrongaMonga]

You were supposed to be able to, yes, unless it is too big to post here. Which I doubt

You can't post an attachment in a post you already have, you have to do a new post.

well whoever goes on staredit.net i copied the stuff to make it in text and right now im going to add the crazy ling Crazy Zergling (or any unit that burrows)

By LeeJase

Make sure you have burrow ability enabled. Place a computer zergling on the map, and make it burrowed. Make a location over it, let's call it "Zergling BUrrow". Then do this

Player:

COmputer player that controls zergling


Condition:

Always

Action:

Run AI Script: Junkyard dog (roam around) at "Zergling Burrow"
Preserve Trigger
Comment (Optional)

Copied from staredit.net


Edit: Dont have the time to make a map :rainfro :doped :angry :rofl2 :corn

 

[Mystic-Death]

OKAY sorry it took me lol HERES the changeing colors map

 

[Mystic-Death]

i would like to request an Anti Map-Hack trigger, like in the sniper's+Bald map v1.11 or w/e lol i was hinted it had to do sumthing wiht a comp's map revealers, like when u saw it (map small map hack makes u see it so no chance or sneaking by it) and u got kicked... just how exactly??

 

[RiffRiot]

Omg, I absolutely love this idea I'm quite good with an Xtra Editor and I have been working on an awesome RPG but I think I might find the time to make some basic trigger tutorials on a map.

 

[Hot Action Akule]

um the map i put up is gone....
