The World Editor Wish List Thread

Who knows? Some of them may get blizzard's attention.

• Buff Editor/Creator I.E like abilities you can base create new buffs based on other buffs.
  
• Make the Orcish battle Standart ability to work when used as an unit ability
  
• Make an unit Stop and forget orders actions, To avoid me from using the laggy
  Pause (unit) | order to stop | unpause (unit)
  
• Make World Editor compile triggers in a more efficient way. Avoid making it to create a lot of functions for every if then else / loop

more will come once I remember them. Post yours if you'd like

1)More advance Action and Events. Give you more control over the triggers you create.

2)Being able to remove/add certain parts from models, Like weapons with out editting the model.

3)Built in Map protector, and more control over the conpression values and files used in the maps/ (To slow do dl times)

4)Being able to create your own spells with no "based" spell.

4)More upgrades

5)Being able to creat floating text in a box and buttons. [We can dream :)]

errr I bet there is more if I can think of more I will add them.

remove limits (ie. move speed (argh) chain lightning only jumping X number of times, etc.)

I had thought of how Blizzard might execute this, and I was thinking, what if they had "spell types".

For example, before you created a custom spell, you had to choose a spell type. AoE, Aura, DOT, Direct Damage, Passive Chance (i.e. critical strike and evasion), Summoning, Buffing, etc. Then you could have any appropriate fields given to you for such a spell. Would be nice :)

Please make a Player - Kill unit for Player action to allow bounty experience and kills triggers work with Trigger Enhanced Spells

vex there are ways to make it do that. (my current faviorite is using a pheonix fire ability add it to the unit for 1 dmg, make teh trigger do to the point where the unit has 1 hp left the pheonix fire will finish him off when he dies just remove pheonix fire...)

- Make it so WMA files are importable
- Built in Skinning Program <--- never will happen but we can wish right?

Got a load more, I'll keep 'em coming.

A unit of target spell event response.... That would be nice.......

Yeah that is what i meant, but I just was to lazy too right i all out, same with all of the Events and Actions for triggers. Alot of people have post exactly what I am thinking.



They could do this but there would be HUGE sever spilt problems i would think. Still it would be nice to have the option.



God yes. I would love that so much. It would make a first person camera that can change height as you go up/ or down in the terrian, without all the jass. I hate using Jass. :( I guess I am not very good with Jass.

More later........

Some useful things I can think of.

A trigger to remove hero abilities not yet learned.
A trigger like this:
Kill/Remove unit in rect (currently its only Kill/remove unit)
Turn Cinematic for triggering player without useing jass
and more

- Set # of item charges.
Kinda useful if you wanted to make an item that could be recharged by a town mage npc, or if you wanted to make something like a Tome of Town Portal and buy scrolls to put in it.
- The ability to set hero names, tooltip descriptions, etc, to variable strings and vice versa.
Think about having a hero named after its controlling player, or the player customizing the tooltip for a spell, which would go well with...
- The ability to set ability integer and boolean values to the values of triggers and vice versa.
Players could build spells ingame with their own strings, etc. Think about having a custom RPG in which you name your hero and build your own spells for it.
- The ability to set targets allowed for abilities to variable strings.
Again, something valuable for ingame spellbuilding. To change abilities based on game circumstances would be awesome, if it's possible at all.
->GetItemAbilities
Put the abilities of an item into a string. Useful for things like Iron Golem building, if other functions are added.

Most of these cater to specific ideas, but from these things could derive more ideas.

-The ability to save arrays in arrays (for tree type organization of fields)
-Ability to change item abilitys in game threw triggers
-Saveable cashe for over internet
-Allow reducing of upgrades
