Think you got a hardcore map, with good triggers?

Hmm, might have been more clear about the advanced part; I want advanced GUI, at least for this issue. Later issues might feature JASS and such, but that issue would more or less be a "Trigger-issue", as a special addition.

I'm intrested in both your maps, but I advice you not to upload them here. Upload them somewhere and give me a link, and I'll have a look and testplay it with my friend. (Someone who I trust my life to, so don't worry ;)).

Either way, I need your maps to make a fair judgement on who to take, if any of you :). So just PM me a link or the map and I'll have a go at it and let you know :).

(To: 35263526, Thanks mate. Can't say anything else then, you seem pretty alright yourself ;)).

Ummm, I guess I forgot to say my map is single-player. Making a Multiplayer variant of it would take me another month. Is this alright with you?

/if not I totally understand, don't feel bad about it.

Oh, sorry for catching on slow. It doesn't matter if it's multiplayer or singleplayer, I just assumed it was. I need the map as fast as possible :).

My map is ready. I didn't want to post the unprotected version on a public thread though. I don't have my own website or online storage so I guess the only other way I can get it to you is through email?...

Could you further define your definition of "advanced" triggers. I just finished a map but I don't think any of the triggers in it are all that advanced. Nor does it have all that many triggers. Probably the most "advanced" trigger in the map is one that sets the next index of an array variable to an APC unit when it is creates and creates another unit (the gun of the APC) and sets it to another array variable with a matching index then makes the "gun" move with the APC every .1 seconds for every APC that is still alive. I don't think that's all that advanced but someone might...

It might qualify, if you send it to me I can have a look. I can't really judge, nor make a clear defenition like this. It does sound like advanced GUI (I mean fairly, enough at least).

If you don't want to attach your map here (You most probably don't) upload it somewhere and give me the link in a PM - Or, zip it with a password and PM me the pass. That should do it. :).

Anyway, I have 9 days to complete this, so I will need your maps pretty soon.

Good idea. Here's my map in a ZIP file. I'll PM you the password. I'm not so sure anymore that it qualifies for your "advanced triggers," but you can look at it.

lol hahha! when I saw this thread name i know i would find hypernox's post here..://// hehe you should really check his map out when he´s finished.. this map ****ing owns and i am a proud beta tester of it;) it just have'nt been discoverd yet as you said:(

Go kingdom purge! :D :D :D :D :D

This isn't an advertising thread.

Gandalf, I got the map, safe and sound.
However, I am not looking for that. It's average triggers and there's no originality. (I did like the 4 minute or w/e song, it rocked :D)

For this issue, I think I'll go with a tips&trix guide (Which I have already done). It's a good start off for the trigger section when I think about it.

BUT KEEP IN MIND, I am still accepting maps. I would like to feature one in the next issue, but I need something that fits. So keep posting here, I'll respond as long as I am intrested in having a map (And the creators) featured.

I thougth this thread was longer? Hehe...

But hey, I have to agree. I've been to lazy to take it to JASS level.

I've acctually had more advanced triggers earlier in my campaign but they became useless when patches came.
OK - I still got the timed Mind Control spell.
I also made a 3 level metamorph based spell that used triggers because of 1.10 but now I think it can be done normally.
Then there was the Darkness Sacrifice Ring item which sacrificed a target unit in exchange for a Baelrog but now it can be done with modifying polymorph.

If 'advanced' means less functions and yet an excellent effect then you can't say that about BQ.
Although everything is working as I wanted (or at least it will in the 1.00 version) the the way I make triggers could acctually scare you :)
Some triggers must be done with 1000 functions in GUI which could have been done with 5 in Jass.

The most advanced trigger I've made acctually was kinda the one for Kharma's trigger competition where I made a trig that read a value of a number step by step - like 12546 first outputted '1' then '2' and so on.

I'll check out if I have anything that you might find advanced in my triggers (I haven't looked into the BQ triggers for a month now).

Yes, well, I'm a Beta Tester *Proud* so I'll get a first hand experience, and I can look at your triggers (As far as I know?). So... I'll have a look at the map itself later. It does sound like something I'd be intrested in. ;)

I splitted the thread, why? because it was getting outside the topic of a map for the magazine and GUI vs JASS discussions are getting boring.

hmm, what is this magazine? I've never heard of it, please enlighten me and flame me if you find it amusing.

I thank you for the invitation to flame you.

The magazine is a, well, it seems shortlived, project started by some people at WC3C. The magazine is supposed to feature WC3 issues, review mods, talk about important stuff regarding modding and the WC3 community as a whole. Also take up contest events, and well, anything else regarding WC3 I guess.

The mag has had two past numbers published, and no, I haven't read any of them. But, I am a part of the new one.
