I need help with triggers. I just opened up the blizzard entertainment demo campaign. Wow! I never really knew how hard it was to make one of those campaigns. Anywho, I have a few questions and I need very detailed answers. I'm kind of new at map-making.

1) I noticed a white icon thingy encirceling a unit. It looked like a starting location. After looking at a few mele maps I have come to the conclusion that this makes an item spawn from the unit's corpse. I want to know if this is true and how I could use it. I'm not sure where to go trigger editor mabey? :god_help_us:

2) I took a look inside the campaign editor and I noticed that you could look at custom unit data from there. Are you supposed to do all of the object editor stuff from there when you are making a campaign. If not why is it there? :o

3) I also noticed that some of the triggers in there did not have an event. I took a peak inside the trigger editor and to my amazement the triggers had actions, some had conditions, but hardly any of them had events! I thought that all triggars had to have events to operate. Is there some way of using a single event for the whole catagory or something?



Thank you for all of your help and I apologize if I wrote to much stuff its just that I have a lot of questions at once. ^_^

1) When you place a unit and you want it to drop/ carry an item(or what spell levels, his spells are) press esc after you place that unit.

2) You can edit the object data for maps and campaigns (like the one i'm doing right now) Editing object data should always be used for something (that's what I think at least) It adds a bit more of a surprise. Besides, custom campaigns usually have a special hero or what ever. Just practice around befeore doing that in a campaign.

3) It probally looks like this:

Events- None
Conditions- Something/None
Actions- Cinimatic-Transmission from Arthas (or some other trigger)

To do this, make another trigger with some event, some conditions (if you need them) and put action "Turn on Trigger" then "Run trigger" followed by "turn off trigger (use the one that's doing the action)
Hope it helps.

There is a game called "stockmarket". To play it click the text "stockmarket minigame" on the top or go to "home" and click "play stockmarket"
