Is it possible to do some own achivements?

Yes? Then please tell me how

thnx mates

As far as I know blizzard removed custom achievements. What you can do is trigger the effects yourself. So, for example, have a trigger where the event is the requirement to complete the achievement (say, kill 10 marines). The action is to create a dialog box, and set the background to the achievement image you made. But yeah, basically you have to trigger it yourself.

Here is some pseudo code how you could create a custom dialog for a player:

action definition AchievementDialog(integer player, integer ID){
// if you have trouble with the wait and following actions in the calling trigger -> mark this trigger action to be a new thread in its properties

variable dialog = no dialog;

create a dialog;
dialog = last created Dialog;
modify the dialog how you want every achievement dialog to be like background, etc...

Switch(ID)
create for every possible ID:
- create text label? (can't remember how it was called)
- create picture

Set dialog visible for player;
play cool sound for player;
wait(10, real time seconds);
destroy dialog;
}

Pretty much the same version in German

Dialogs aren't difficult, if you understand how they work.

Though there's no pre-built support, you can simply detect achievement conditions (kills x amount of units, finds a location, picks up an item, etc) and trigger a dialog to pop up an achievement. If you really want to get fancy, you can use a bank to store achievements.

Oh, there's also a library for that, which I seem to remember being fairly simple to use, though it may not be what exactly what you're looking for. And the curse network is down for now, probably for another 24 hours, but after that you could get it and try it out.

i created a map made basically for achievements, look up 'ice island arena' on battle.net
