If anyone can help to trigger my map, please let me know. As of yesterday, the map crashes every time I try to open it. I placed many sprites in one area and that seemed to cause it to crash. Also, I think the only level I've seen actually work properly was level 3. For example, on level 1 it for some reason thinks the level is over as soon as it starts. I have no idea how, because no where did I (intentionally) put that in there.

Yeah no worries people here will help you without payment. :) About the reason for the crashes someone else needs to help, but maybe you can just use an older version using ScmDraft's backup database and avoid placing the problematic sprites?

It would help if you posted the triggers responsible for handling the levels along with what they should do vs. what they actually do.

Yes removing all non-doodad sprites stop the crash on startup, and it crashes even in melee mode so it's not a unit placement or trigger issue. https://wiki.staredit.net/wiki/Crash_List mentions psionic storm as a crashing sprite, but removing those wasn't enough.

The following sprites crashes in your map:
- 334 Particle beam hit.
- 339 Psionic storm.
- 353 Needle spine hit.
- 354 Plasma Drip hit (unused) ["Unknown 5" in scmdraft]
- 360 Broodling Parasite
- 363 Consume.
- 369 Phase Disrupter (unused)
- 486 Dark Archon Energy



None.

Thanks for your replies. Well I would be happy to pay someone for their hard work. I know how tedious it is to make triggers work properly. Real reason is that I would be wanting someone to work on all elements of the map. I have an overall vision of how the map will look when it's done although I wouldn't mind someone adding/changing something - all of this taking hours of their time and creativity, no doubt. There are two levels left unfinished as well so plenty of work for whoever wants to work on this weird imposs map by an amateur map creator. I would prefer someone who has made imposs maps before and enjoys the genre as much as I do.

I will update here with the list of triggers and what each one is intended to perform.

We do a little trolling

If you're trying to pay someone to do it for you, I'd say expect to pay at least $20/hour, not just a $20 one time fee. And realistically, there aren't a whole lot of people left interested in doing mapping for money either way. You'll be much more likely to get a finished map if you put in the work to learning how to do it properly yourself. The community here (and on Discord) is very helpful for teaching how to do things, as you've seen in the previous replies.
