so...if you could help me that'd be amazing! i'm quite new to map making and quite confused!

i've saved it as hibrid/staredit

What editor are you using? I started it up in SCMdraft2 and I got no errors, Although when I tried opening the map in Starcraft Campaign editor it did shut down immediatly and gave me the send error report. The map looks interesting.

oh, it's star-forge -- i forgot there are like 3/4 other map editors. it's quite confusing. thanks though. it's suppose to be a luker d...since the current one i've been playing is totally easy

120x120 mapsize is not supported by starcraft. 64,96,128,192 and 256 are. Others may cause anomalies.

wow...why do they leave the option to put in other AAA x BBB then? ANNOYING! but thank you so so so much.

Because you CAN play them. But you must play a valid map first.

oh, okay, sorry for the silly questions. thanks a lot. i mean A LOT. i know there are a few tutorials online on this website for triggers and such...but i'm wondering if there is a 'noobs guide book to trigger editing?' with the whole syntax and stuff like that... and how to make arrays(ill need to use them..im guessing i'll want to be efficient with code) or should i just gooogle? i just don't want to end up learn from poor examples of code

But creating such a map for bnet usage is not a good idea.

You should rather use SCMDraft2's classic trigedit then. ITs easier and much comfortable than SF's one.

Actually, you have to have at least 1 normal dimension, otherwise it almost always crashes, even if you play another map first.

Classic trigedit is horribly slow. I use Starforge for trigger editing, since it has the auto-fill in for its text editing.

For you it is slow someone09, for others, such as me, I can use it kind of fast. Because I know where to press, I can modify it from there, and SCMDraft2 allows you to type in what you want selected, with auto complete. It also has the regular trigger edit set up, with the drop down menu, which because I know where everything is, I just scroll, click, and ready for next trigger.

yeah but unless you type extremely slowly, text trigger editing is much faster, because you don't have to scroll to find the action/condition and click on each value to edit it.
I don't really like SCMDraft's text triggers, mainly because you still have to use original unit names, even if you've changed them. This can be extremely annoying, especially if you're using death counters.
e.g. i have renamed "Vespene Gas Tank 2" to "dc1"

for scmdraft:
Deaths(Currentplayer,atleast,1,Vespene Gas Tank 2);

for starforge:
Deaths(Currentplayer,atleast,1,dc1);

Starforge also has the list of available strings /options on the right, for you to select if you're reusing a long string.

EDIT: sorry, that was relatively off topic. -.-
