Maze making Tutorial O_o pt1

Black is Trigger\Pink is object\Blue is test (your map)



Before doing anything click scenario on top and pick the yellow doted one.. This lets you change what your map will be seen as when people are hosting (i.e. Maze of foolishness will be under create games) or on pats bot !dmaps maze of f nad thats how you find it)



the pink dot is where you change what the loading screen looks like, and what it says in there I.e



the Red dot is where you have to change All the players (that you want) to user controlled, and the bad people to computer controlled and check off fixed at start location, you can also change what are they are, it looks nicer if they are all the same except bad guy.



and the blue dot changes the forces So that their are two different teams, to amke the second force click sutom forces and then click fixed player settings, click add force then check off what i have checked off, nothing more (drag brown ove the words force 2 to place him on the other team)




------------------------------------------------------Begining of it all-----------------------------------------------------------

1) well starting off first you need to go to trigger editor and delete (right click and click delete) the folder that says map initialzation then just go back to the map when finished. ( x out of trigger editor)

2) go to object editor and change hero skills to basic endurance, unholy aruas and Wind walk, and attacks enabled to None (here u can change the name of your heros if you would like to). After this is done go back to map. ( x out of object editor)



3) now you can start laying down your tiles, arrange them in any way you like ( how you would like your maze to go )



4) when you are done you should put regions in and your map should now look like this



5) place staring points stacked on top of each other for the ammount of players you want (i.e red,blue,teal all the way to brown) (i only did up to orange for the sake of time) note: when stacked on top of each other they change into one color


(stacked)


Repeat step 2 almost and edit the creeps you want (i.e. change peasents to not have an attack and to ahve the skill neutral invulerability. and shooting people to have 1000 dmg

6) start placing creeps for brown (or your bad person color) and demon hunters (one each per color (not brown xD) at che

Your map should now look like this



7) You ask yourself how do i make units move?? dont be afraid !! just open up trigger editor!! ( pink if yu look at top of post)

when in trigger editor make a trigger named start, and make it look like this.



9) create a folder names Lvl 1 and put in a new trigger .. just name it move creeps1, etc.
looks like, make new event = map initialzation and new action = unit - issue unit to a target point, click the red thing that says unit and put in the unit u want ( select unit next to variable and high light the unit you want) then cahnge move to to patrol to and the point to the region u created for it to patrol to)



(if you havent noticed by now, the begining of the action and event tells you what group it is in (I.E. unit - means you click the top of the thing that says -All and scroll down to the one that started the actions im showing you)

10) now i would say you should try your map out ( on top the color blue ) make sure u hit save ... wen u save agree to what it tells you and save it somewhere you know.

11) copy step 8 (just make another trigger not folder (i.e. creep move2) and so on, when you think you are finished test your map again to see if they are moving.

12) hold the phone!! you want to die when u hit units so create a new trigger and make it look like this



copy that for each player ( sorry about peasent just i deleted map xD so make peasent = demonhunter 001 (or red's demonhunters number) and so on ( make sure u are changing the demon hunters)

13) wait blood we also need people to die when they step off path !! go back into trigger editor and create a trigger called path1 (or waht ever you want just make sure you know what it is :O) make sure u put in the pathing regions ( reffer to number 4's picture) you have to do this repetitavly so a whole lvl might be path1 - path22 all with different regions ) (all diff triggers)



If you are lazy like me just download a region generator from
here (dont ask me how to use it use the websites tut's) but for what i know plug in the first path region and the last and it will make your regions (in jass) ( WTF IS JASS??) just make a new trigger and click use custom script (i hope you copied what the generator gave you!!) and paste it in there (if that doesnt work .. DO IT THE LEGIT WAY Muhaahahahah) (usually takes hours for maps sometimes days legit way :DDDDDD) hehe

Notes; 1) if you want mortars to attack its similar to step 8 but instead of patrol to you make it attack ground (found in the same scroll list) when using mortars use object editor to make their attack more points.
If you would not want to use regions, i suggest you follow this system made by my friend 3ice. Note that this is something you might want to copy then paste into your trigger editor ( only works for sliding + terrain kill maps )

dude macs are super simple you just have to hit cmd-shift-4 then take picutures.. i admit i made my first maze from looking at that tut But that is mine heres a pic of mine and his <.>

Why would i even copy someone? Its a tutorial about the begining of a maze... I think that they would be pretty similar..... gawd dam ur retards

NOTICE THAT MINE ARE MAC AND HIS ARE WINDOWS
his

His

Mine

blood calm down its not a bad thing i copy things from people all the time, plus you guys are losers learning to make mazes from tutorials, i figured it all out on my own cuz im sexy.

I know I know Just i dont like being accused of stealing something so simple as a starter tutorial for my own use.. it only took me an hour to make and i was bored during the whole thing but i finished it anyways lol :p

SO YOU ADMIT YOU STOLE IT!!! no jk lol its not that bad

For the sake of bumping i will bump this

why bump it? its sticky and you should make part 2! ive been NEEDING IT BLOOD IM A NOOB AT MAZE MAKING MARK DID ALL OF MOWW2 I JUST THREATENED HIM SO HE PUT MY NAME ON IT \cry

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Dont bump stickies

*Rule added to general forum rules

hmmm i didnt remember that it was a sticky... Hmmm lol and yea mark would fail at making his own maze, which is why he made 2.5 which was a "small" map with 3 lvls lol (he would have a stroke i he did more than 3 lvls on any map)

Ty for this tutorial it helped me learn the basics :] + rep !!!

lol yw

LOL i just noticed nearly all my posts in this i was a douche and i got -repped on them for it O.o and blood ive been waiting so long for part 2! I CANT FINISH MY MAZE WITHOUT IT!!

lol ill make one when i feel like opening my WE =/// + idk what some things i would put ?? theres already slidng a wheel trigg, terrain slide and kill and theres not much left to.. CAMS! oh wait already bbeen done MASS CREA.. already been done,.. there really isnt much more to add then just mkae a nice storyline and try to make ur units make sense

i know u posted this awhile ago blood, but i only just saw it, kuz u posted this when i was gone. any way...

THIS IS UNEXCEPTABLE! U MADE IT SOUND LIKE U WERE GUNA POST A SECOND PART BY SAYING PT1! I DEMAND U MAKE ATLEAST 1 MORE PART!!@!#!@$

fine fine ill make another part later today ;D ay ideas on what to make it aboot (what hasent been done..) (becasue i mainly stopped because most stuff was and is already done now ;O

u can talk about how u should keep region rules the same. i.e dont change how tight ur regions are, especially on corners. enless of course theres a dramatic change of terrain type, so u have to change it.

theres lots u can talk about ><
