General lower than beginner

Ishanul · 02-14-2008

I am no good a triggering and I don't understand your beginner threads, can I get some help please?

Well to teach everything requires lots of time to explain and this time of year a great deal of people don't have. Try to narrow some topics down and then we'll be more then happy to explain each one.

Heres a basic Trigger. Someone enters somewhere, somthing happens, like killing the unit.

Make a region, using the region pallete first. call it kill region or something.

ONTO THE TRIGGERING!

Make a new trigger, call it kill unit or something.

Make a new event, its one of the buttons up the top.
Find: Unit: Unit enters region.
Press ok.

Make a new action, near the top buttons too.
Find: Unit: Kill Unit.
Click on the "unit", and find "Unit - Entering unit".

DUN!

I hope this helps, now just stuff around with the outcome, and then stuff around with the event, its how i got started.

Learning about how triggers work is good.

I suggest checking blizzards guide/help at the start.

*********.net didn't help me, but apparently it helped stacks of other people.

It really sucks, I have a lot of ideas for maps and I don't even know how to make em.

MrOrange · 02-14-2008

Just list some stuff that you need to know. If you're going to ask me stuff, I suggest it be in the next 3 days while I still have time. Also I could use a few topics to make tutorials on.

I can't give you step by step advice because I don't have Warcraft on my computer and I must now use my brother's computer to play Warcraft or open up the WE.

When a Event occurs, the game checks if the Conditions are true, and if so the Actions are done.

For example

Code:

Events
    Generic - A Unit Dies
Conditions
     Conditions - OR (Multiple Conditions)
          ( Unit Type of (Event Response - Dying Unit) ) is equal to Footman
          ( Unit Type of (Event Response - Dying Unit) ) is equal to Rifleman
Events
     Game - Display message to (All Players): A Footman or Rifleman has just died!

If Dying Unit were replaced with Event Response - Triggering Unit, it would still work as Triggering Unit refers to the unit which made the event happen, the unit who is dying.

Of course most map makers suck at triggers anyway, and just copy others. Many things can be done without triggers in the Object Editor. And your not lower than Beginner, eventually it will 'click' and you will not understand how it was so hard before.

Yea, I used to be horrible at triggers but they were easy once I got the hang of it.

And conditions aren't always needed

kinda like Java, I am taking basic Java.

If you are taking basic Java this should be a breeze. Perhaps you'd like it in JASS better, go to Edit (by file) > Convert to Custom Text on any Trigger.
