    Ok well, Im trying to finish an old map I started a while ago, its a combination of Buu's Arena, and Dynasty Warriors (Dont ask lol, Ill tell you in full detail of it, if I can finish)

    But I have a problem, I have 2 sides supposed to be having a war (like dynasty warriors where they mass units at each other and meet at the middle and have a war) For some reason, everything I try they wont, Some units will fight, but mostly they will just pass each other. Can anyone help? Ive tired "Order", "Run Script" etc, btw, I have X-Tra Editor (it was one my friend told me to get)

    Well, i'm sorry i don't know about X-Tra but in StarEdit atleast you can make a location behind both teams and tell the opposite one to attack to location with a trigger.

    Okay! Just make sure you have it set so that the computers are hostile to each other. Are you done making sure that all computer players are hostile to their counterparts? Right! Now refer to your locations where the units spawn (if they do) and take note of their names.

    For each location, have the trigger conditions be like so:
    Make sure that no other triggers are constantly firing off move orders.

    Hello I too have map difficulties. im tying to create a micro map (with bases not just units) and when i try to evolve lurker aspect for the zerg, I gett booted from the entire game itself and am left on the computer desktop (plz help me I'm at 50%, meaning im almost done player settings) i've done all I could've but to no extent nothing has happened or change, the problem still persists. A solution would be most appreciated.

    Well did it fix your problems by reinstalling SC or the map editor?

    I just logged in today and I haven't bothered to check ever since i got latest patch. considering that I abondoned it because I couldn't figure it out. thx I'll try it out to see if it happened. and just to put it out there this bug was caused by a change in the lurker aspect research time.

    Please don't double post. There's an "edit" button.

    And once your done, I'd like to try them out.

    I've always wondered how you made units pop up where a unit was previously?

    sry first time on a forum to be honest and thx for the replys. I would like an opinion on my maps thx:).
    so heres a spoiler on one of them. (Wc}I{) Base TD - you basically have a base to defend and you must build towers to defend it, you get money from gold mine and creeps(you only get one worker each boss you defeat) and you also get to make units to defend the base. (has no air tho) there are ten waves about four levels each wave and each wave has a boss at the end level.

    I'm back with some more questions about map making...

    1- What tileset should I use for a map that takes place on Umoja?
    2- in really popular rpg maps where you have one guy and he starts at like 2% health, but as he levels up he gets a higher health, how can i do this? i ask cause it could be very useful to have a level up system of some sort in survival maps or something.
    3- i have a boss battle in one of the maps but I'm wondering, how do i make it so then the unit that is used as the boss, run away and throw illusions at you then returns later to beat you up more?
    4- what triggers are used for king of the hill? I'm doing something like it but with multiple areas

    These are all very complex answers. It would be better if you fiddled around with the triggers for a while until you fully understood them, then found a way to combine the triggers to achieve what you want. If you want somebody to show you how to write a large chunk of triggers, you might as well ask "does somebody who knows triggers want to work on my map with me?"

    I need a really wide staircase on a jungle terrain map for the temple wall, i tried to do this but the staircase in the game is just too small to make it look good as any bigger, well i got close to making a one but it just seriously doesn't look right. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated ^u^
