Hellooo...I'm new...(Im literally as green as a lime) But I need some help...

[TimeGlitch]

Hello all you veterans.

I'm a greenhorn. I know I am.

Anyway, to the point. I just got Starcraft like a week ago or so, and I've played it enough to beat the Terran missions and about half the Zerg. I know my way around the system by now, but I am by no means good...At all...

(I suck)

So basically I'm not really into the whole multiplayer thing, but I am very interested in the Campaign Editor, of which I delved into as of today. I've always wanted to create my own campaign of sorts, and Starcraft seems to have ample resources as to do so.

What I'm wondering is if they'res someone out there who would help me limp along as I try to figure out some of this shit and make sense of it all. I have lots of instant messaging programs, I think that would do. I'm also very creative, so if you helped me out I guarantee you wouldnt just see some generic multiplayer map. I actually want to do a full on campaign of sorts...Though I havent worked a story yet.

Regardless, will someone help a creative little newbie?

literally?

[TimeGlitch]

literally?

Yeah.

Basically what I'm saying is will someone be my Q&A desk whenever they happen to be online. If not that, then load me up with a massive database on how to do everything known to man with that editor. I can make do with that as well.

You'd learn it much faster if you'd open up others' maps, see what they did. I think every question about StarEdit has been asked and answered.

Understand, everybody here would be willing to help out if you're stuck, but I don't think anyone's looking to be a Q&A desk.

Just experiment, and if you're stuck, ask here or at blizzforums or something.

I figured it was a long shot to begin with, but you never know what the internet will come up with.

Aright, now I know. Thanks much.

(By the way...Yeah I'll be coming back with questions next weekend...When I have time to get back on my 'puter XD)

Again, thanks. Sorry to be an ignorant little newb =D

[Taeradun]

literally?

Yeah.

now this I'm interested in, post pics to prove it plz

[Whiplash!]

What so your skin is really green or something? Whats that have to do with all of this?

Also finish all the normal and bw sc campaigns, then play all the custom ones and then imo you should start to work on your own. By that point you'll have a good grasp of campaigns (both custom and official) and allow you to decide what type of campaign YOU want to make.

Yeah.

Hey TimeGlitch, glad to see you around.

Welcome to CC!

[TimeGlitch]

Thank you =)

[Rocco]

I'd really suggest playing all the missions, then when you've beaten SC and BW go to play custom, then click the folder 'Campaign'. Then play the five of those. Then when you start to really mess around in StarEdit, go to the help menu, and that pretty much has all the basics. IE : Giving a computer AI Scripts, objectives, all the basic triggers.

[Lavarinth]

As for your question- Literally, simply mess with it. The triggers here, unlike WarCraft 3, are pretty self explanatory.

[TimeGlitch]

Well I did have one question just diddling around with it.

So I have all the enemies set up on 1 team (Player 1), and what I'm trying to do is split them up, and kinda do their own thing. But no matter how I manipulate it, they all want to intermix and help each other out.

I figured I could just put them all in different teams and then put them all in one force, but I'd like them all to be uniform in color, something I havent found out how to do, or if its possible.

So:
If possible, how do I get each section to leave the other one alone?
If thats not possible, how do I assaign perminant colors?

Split them up into different players and set up their alliance as you see fit.
Staredit doesn't support custom player colors, Scmdraft2 for example does, you can even make all the 8 players to have the same color. Oh and this only works in scx maps.
