All of the maps I've worked on have helped me get better. As I get good at the things I know how to do, I start learning more things that I didn't. My first map was an altered melee. My second map was a way-waltered melee. Third was a footman war, fourth an AoS, fifth is a TD, and sixth will be a campaign. |

well what made me get better was to try new stuff like i never really had terrain in my maps so i started a terrain map and made a movie.. which helped me on my terrain skills and my trigger skills... also helps u expand ur mind... |

wat really helped me for map making was the following: Basic Triggers: Wintermaul, one of the early ones. Advanced Triggers/Terraining: a bunch of AOS. and thats wat got me started, i really dont know about the rest of it. |

What helped me get good was just messing around with everything in the editor to see what it did :> I also mapped a lot with Starcraft before I got Warcraft 3, so I was acustomed to some of Blizzard's little quirks. |

i learned how to trigger by messing tring to get a gate to work and it did different stuff so i had to keep trying so i finally got it working and then i messed around w/ it alot (for like 10 hours) learning all the events,conditions,and actions |

I did a game similar to the smash tv (from the sc one). the game has 50 rounds and only only one battle zone. It was very simple and buggy (because of the lag bug). Tho it was popular, so much that someone stole my map and renamed it "matrix reloaded", he fucked up every triggers and put random doodads everywhere. . . it was 2 year ago(the stealing was maybe 1.5 year ago). |
