okay im new to the wc3 map making community I used to make sc rpg makes and now im converting over to wc3 rpg maps and the editor is way more advance (which i love!) but with advanceness comes confusion.. I was wondering how to change building images? like make hmm say a townhall look like a tree? is this done with skins? err models? If so, K and ima look from some tuts on doing so. Also making tiggers in the sc editor was simple but im baffled with this one! I was wondering if someone knew how to make it so
a player can bring a unit to a priest and he will automatically heal them if need..

Condition: Player brings 1 footman to layer name.
Action: Restore health and mana.


somthing along those lines? unforunatly I cant find those options in the trigger editor. lil help please?

if you want make a unit/building looks like a trre just go to objekt manager , search the unit/building you want edit and look under art-used model(something like that)

the second thing is prety simple if you just want the unit healed

make a region where you want the healing
then create a trigger like this

Event: Unit enters region(region 001)

Condition: ---

Action: Unit-Set unit(triggering unit) life to 100%
Unit-Set unit(triggering unit) mana to 100%

yeah, to change the look of an object, just change the model in the object editor. this works as long as what u want to change it to is a war3 model. if u want something original, then u need to use skins (im not any good with these, so i cant tell u how to use them, tho there are millions of thread/tuts on the subject on the site, jsut look around). models are if u want to change the entire shape of the object that the skin sits on (i think its mostly used on units as far as ive seen). but a majority of changes can just be done in the object editor. get to know it real well, cause unless ur modding, about 80% of your time will be spent in there reeking havoc. great fun :D

mm quick question i havnt tryed this yet because i just got home but i was wondering why the tirgger doesnt work? i followed everything you said and it doesnt work, i was wondering if this is because its set as an initialization trigger do i have to set it as "team 1" trigger so the trigger will only work for team 1?
