Old WC3 Amatuer editor trying to get back into editing (And needs help)

Hi everyone. I use to make some amateur maps, nothing to fancy, and I've been trying to get back into WC3 map editing. This was a LONG time ago, way before most maps had custom models / skins / used JASS (or what ever it's called).

I'm going to try to make a single player map, but I'm having some trouble. I'm trying to make roaming creeps that will be in the world map area, and when they attack you, you get moved into a small area with randomized enemies that you fight, but I have a couple questions / problems.

1 - I can't get them to spawn right, I'm setting it so when you get attacked by a certain type of roaming creep, it sets what battle regions / creatures, but I'm having trouble having the creatures you'll actually battle spawn in the right regions.

2 - I don't know how to make it so it will create creeps that will randomly move around from region to region, like they move in a circle without having to individually program from point A to B to C. Something where I could set the region arrays when they enter that zone.

Also I've noticed that there seems to be some new triggers like Unit Damage / Damage Area, and maybe decrease / increase spell level and stuff like that, though I'm not sure. Anything important I should know about? I quit not to long after Frozen Throne came out.

Whats good about knowing JASS compared to normal triggering, what can it do better / easier etc. Also whats a tutorial for JASS beginner?[ATTACH][ATTACH]Test6.w3x[/ATTACH][/ATTACH]

Cool, glad to see your back. :P

Sorry, though; I can't really help you when it comes to (v)Jass.

Start out with vjass as soon as possible if you're interested - download the Jass Newgen Pack or Jasshelper so your comp can compile the extended language. That is at least a start - once you get a good feel for the natives list and the freedom of vjass you'll be able to sort through each obstacle and understand how to code it. As for tutorials, there are some nice ones on this website that will describe some generally important facets of JASS.
