Honestly Ive been looking for a small nifty map to contribute to. But knowing me, Ill end up adding in extra shit you dont need, or over complicating the hell out of the map.

Though if you need some trigger assistance, I wouldnt mind tossing in a few things.

You are more than welcome to help with the triggering for the map, and any ideas about abilities/spells to add to the heroes would be nice. Posted the map.

It'd be awesome if each hero has their own line of abilities, one new ability per level ... :3

Yeah, that's what i was thinking of doing for the abilities. Another thing I was trying to figure out was either to have the heroes evolve. Like evolving into a different skin or making then larger, or just being a different unit altogether.

Thats easy. Assign a variable to the current skin the player hero should be, and then when you spawn the hero or revive the hero the trigger checks this variable and assigns the right model.

I have been having trouble with the A.I. I want it to basically go through the normal A.I. for a melee game, but it doesn't seem to work. I duplicated all the units so i could change things and now it doesn't build anything. Also I need help setting up a hero menu for the players and making a ship crash for a sequence or something.

I posted in your thread here Help with Attacking A.I. about that, I could set it up if you need.

Yeah, I saw that. They will attack but I mean just actually building the units is what I'm getting at. All they will do is gather.

Well i really do hope you do the original crash rpg justice... I also recommend you and some abilities to the characters if you really want it to be fun.

Anyone have ideas for the abilities to add?
As of right now this is what I've got.

Pick one.

I don't think he has to pick just one.

He can remake the original Crash RPG with maybe 1 ability per hero (which upgrades with levels)
As long as he stays true to the format of Crash, it should be fine...
Remember you have to upgrade the game into SC2 expectations.

Tho I think the changing of heroes into different units will probably feel a bit clunky
You should probably have them require to return to the crash site in order to upgrade the hero.

I wish you'd give us more details...
like what heroes are there... and what mechanics you're using to level them up.

I think it'd be cool that each hero has their own unique ability (passive/activated) ... then have another ability when they're maxed level.
But be careful here... While the original Crash RPG isn't very innovative, some of the heroes were quite creative in their play styles.. The hero progression was carefully planned, and the same care has to be taken with putting new abilities in.
Make sure that each ability has their own unique use/mechanic.

As for the leveling I was thinking of just using experience, and as they level up they become a little bigger and change colors; keeping them the same unit. Yeah the abilities is the main concern right now.

Well you did say "As of right now.." so I assumed you had more in the works.

As for abilities.. you'd probably need stuff better than those...
especially if you're not going to change the unit as the heroes level up

The "As of right now.." was to the abilities. I'm not sure exactly what would be the best for each hero.
