As a quick remainder, this is a newbie-minded Warcraft 3 tutorial map pack to learn the Trigger Editor. Play first, open the map later to learn how it was done with lots of comments and explanations.

Here's the latest additions :

-> Episode 4-2 - Learn how to use timers
** Includes timers in general and reviving a hero via a timer.

-> Episode 4-XX1 - Learn how to make dialogs
** Including a page system and button hotkeys.

-> Episode 4-XX2 - Learn how to use special effects
** Including permanent/temporally ones, model fixed ones and an anti-leak system

-> Episode 4-XX3 - Learn how to make a multiboard
** Including a hero kills/death system and multiplayer multiboards

Note : The latest tutorials presumes you have learned loops and array variables from Chapter 3.

You can also contribute to this project in various ways including text proofing, requesting specific tutorials, submitting tutorial maps of your own, submitting interesting open maps for view and so on.

EDIT : Fixed the anti-leak actions in 4-XX2 since I didn't write the correct lines to prevent the leaks.

One error I see in 4-XX2:

Set pointTemp = (Position of (Casting unit))
Special Effect - Create a special effect at pointTemp using Abilities\Spells\Human\CloudOfFog\CloudOfFog.mdl
Custom script:  set udg_pointTemp = null

Where "set udg_pointTemp = null" is, you actually want "RemoveLocation(udg_pointTemp)". The location you're storing in the variable isn't removed by nulling the variable; the variable itself is just a reference to that location. Nulling a global variable serves no purpose anyway, because the reference will always be there (and you'll presumably use it more than once).

I haven't looked at any of the other maps yet.

Doh, going to fix that right away.
