hi, i am a new to map making and i am trying to make a map however i would hope to custom maps with start units.

1. players can choose heros with abilities however they have to do it the old way and that is to choose a hero using a sheep and walk into the hero circle and the hero will appear in a location.

how can i do this i tried to search around but cannot find it please teach me.

2. i would like to make some computer players and they start the map with units and does not need to choose any heros and some buildings will appear creeps that walk directly to the players heros.

sorry i know i am asking too much however i tried and cannot find any tutorial of such in around this forum so some kind souls please help.

It's actualy realy easy, just go to the Trigger Editor (F4) and there you have to just READ it's like I got it ^_^
Well, there's a LOT to read but if you'l get the hang of it, it's quite easy.

1) Create a region in front of each Hero the same size as the Circle of Power. Then use the following code for each region:

Code:
Temp
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters [color=blue][u]YourRegion[/u][/color]
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Sheep
    Actions
        Unit - Create 1 [color=blue][u]HeroType[/u][/color] for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at [color=blue][u]StartRegion[/u][/color] facing Default building facing degrees

2) Are you asking for coms that just periodically attack the Players or coms that act like Players?
