Post by keegee1012 »

Hi! I have a very cool campaign for Starcraft!  ;D! The only problem is... i have no idea how to use staredit! I do not know how to make the comp. move in Use map Setting maps, I do not know how to make the simplest of mission breifings, I do not know how to put two types of races in one color, i can't even make the comp. move, create units and mine. I do not know and i need help!

Hey keegee, take a look through our tutorials if you'd like, also I'm sure most of here got to our best in map making by just messing with the editor. Keep an open mind, and you can figure out anything!

This (the bold part) is impossible in the official StarEdit.

I manage to understand some of it (Making computers, Forces) But I really can't understand on how to make triggers and mission breifing and how to make the player lose when heroes die...

Learning how to use triggers is like learning Math, or a new game, it takes an open mind and time, and just messing with it on your own to fully grasp the concept of how it works. If you don't [mess with it] you'll never get it.

Making, say, player 1 lose if his one marine dies is easy:

Trigger:
- For Player 1
Condition:
- Player 1 commands 0 Terran Marines. (This condition is titled something like "COMMAND UNITS" in the drop down menu.)
Action:
- End Scenario in Defeat. (This action is titled "DEFEAT" in the drop down menu.)
