Not Sure Which Forum this Applies to so...

I am looking for some additional players to help me in the creation and learning of mapmaking in warcraft 3.

I am somewhat experienced in making a map. Making terrain and units is fairly easy to me, but what eludes me is triggering.

I can't seem to grasp it very well and If anyone could provide help in that area, it would be greatly appreciated.

The map I have in mind would allow me to learn the basics of save/load codes, custom spells(JASS I believe), importing custom models/icons/load screens/etc, and would allow me to grasp a basic understanding of triggering, in order to further myself in my map making abilities.

I know it may seem like a lot to ask, but often I find myself confused and unsure of what certain aspects of the game do.
I am only asking for a tutor I suppose.
Tutor(s) will receive payment from me depending upon how well the job is done.

Payment can be in the form of assistance on other maps, help testing other maps, etc.

Monetary payment excluded of course...

Reply to this post if you are interested or would like to suggest some other methods for obtaining the knowledge I need.
I will most likely be encouraging the use of Teamspeak/Ventrilo, and possibly www.logmein.com to be used in order to learn this information.

Also, I will consider making tutorial videos for the reading impaired like myself.

That is all...

Not to be harsh, but have you ever tried taking a look at the tutorial section on this site?
For example you could try this tutorial from linkmaster23 as a reference for learning GUI or for learning JASS try this tutorial by vexorian.

Or just all the tutorials in the tutorials section. I learned myself, though it took a long while. So it's really your choice which method you want.

I'll tell ya how i learned Jass, which was an extremely easy way.
NOTE just because it was easy for me doesnt meen it will be easy for you
Ok first, use Vexorians Introduction to JASS
Then use Triggers in JASS also by Vexorian
Then download JassCraft
Download a couple of JESP spells from the download section
Open them in World Edit
Copy the code from World Edit to JassCraft
and just edit the spells and customize them, thats what i did and now jass is like that *snaps fingers*
Keep editing spells for like month and then move on to more advanced stuff, like VJass.

Are there any video tutorials?

Currently I use these forums at a place other than my home to learn this.
A video tutorial would be amazing to have since I can't bring warcraft and the editor with me on the go.

My home computer doesn't have internet access at the moment. So video tutorials would be nice, if there aren't any then I'll just have to work on getting my internet back up.

Edit:
I just read all of Vex's first post and half of his second.
This language seems similar to java and C++(languages I already know) with the exception that the commands used just have different titles to them. (For statements, While statments, etc.)

I am also very interested on how to create save/load codes, perhaps a tutorial on how to use those could be found.
Ex: player creates simple save/load that saves a level 2 hero. Then they slowly build on that tutorial until you have information on how to save stats, items, abilities, etc.

I highly highly doubt you'll find any video tutorials.

If you already know C++ and java, then JASS should be insanely simple. Don't even BOTHER with GUI, just go right into JASS. (By the way, what are For/While statements? I can't think of any equivilents in JASS)

There's either a save/load code tutorial, or a pre-made system somewhere on this site.

A while statement is something that executes constantly until the condition within the while statement ceases to be met. Both C++ and Java use these differently and they function differently in both of them.
For example(in java):

int a = 0;
while(a<5)
{
system.out.println(a);
a++;
}

This will count from 0 to 5.

For and While == loops, basically.
