OK yes I know I'm a big w3 n00b cuz my questions will justify my statment. Anyways I have a few questions answer one or more if you'd like. Just help me!

1) Is it possible to get Legion Units for a custom made map? (I know I can get heroes like Archimonde, Mannoroth etc...etc...) But I want to know if I can get the other legion units such as the burning rock guy and the wolves etc..etc...

2) The last level for w3 is HOT! With the undead attacking like crazy! I wanna know how to get the trigger for something as hard as that! (Could you write it out for me)!

3) I recently made a custom map but the enemy is stupid and doesn't come to me. They don't do anything! They attacked once but after that they just stopped! HOw do I make them smarter and just attack me more often.

4) LAST QUESTION! Whenever I make a gate or door the enemy doesn't break it, they don't even come to my entrance. But when I break the door they decide to enter! Why is that? And how do I get the trigger so that they will break the door AND enter my base!

I know you won't be able to answer ALL these questions but answering even one of them would be a great help! THanks A billion guys!

1)To place Infernals, Helfounds, and Doom Guards, open the Unit Palette (Goto Windos -> New Palette -> Unit) Then, set the player who you want to control these units. Then under that dropdown box, is the race dropdown, set that to Neutral- that will load all creeps and neutral units. Now scroll down. Right at the end of the first section (Before the Buildings section) you will find the Doom Guard and Infernal units, then just place them. The Infernal is hidden within the main mess of creeps right after the three Plagued Treants.

2)That's a lot of complex triggers and I can't help you there. I do know that Blizzard shortened the build time of the Undead units, and probably removed Food costs on units so they can produce more than the 90 Food cap.

3)For this one, I would use Action Triggers -> AI - ___ those will influence your computers to do commands.

4) Again use AI - Send AI Command I THINK and tell them to destory gate OR destroy destructible doodad.

I hope I was able to help. ^^

1) Go to the Units panel and select PLAYER 1 and UNDEAD. Under SPECIAL you should have Archi and the others.
If you go to PLAYER 1 and NEUTRAL (or NEUTRAL HOSTILE and NEUTRAL), you should see the Infenals somewhere. If they don't show up, select a different tileset from the list (LORDAERON SUMMER should be selected by default).

2) No idea.

3) Highwinded pretty much answered this.

4) A possible solution would be to make a region in front of the door and then have a trigger which orders the enemy units in that region to attack the door when the door is alive.

2 More questions.

1) How do I actually get the burning legion to attack me? THey just stand there and look cool. And if they do attack me, how do I get them to regenerate and keep coming?

2) How do I get them to come all the way into my base. They pretty much go in and end there. Is it possible to make them come to a doodad in the base and then they'll keep coming? What are the triggers for it?

I recommend you take a look at the triggers behind a map that uses AI to attack you, im sure you will learn alot of the basic logic required to incorperate something like this.
