hi, i am newbie in mapping and i have questions.
is able to make a 'tavern' building for SC:BW map? if it is able, must u use 3. party software(SCMDRaft, DatEdit,..) with StarEdit?
'tavern' means(for me) a building for producing of units(Infested Terran, Infested Kerrigan, Ultralisk,...) that cannot be produced in standart producing buildings(Terran Barracks, Factory, Prottos Gateway,...).
pp: sorry for bad english

Sure wish we had a UMS Assistance section for these topics...

Actually what he wants to do would require modding. You would need Firegraft, among other modding tools to do this.

Or if you change units after build... triggers. Or... you could do it through resource detection...

If he wants to do it the way WC3 does it, since that's where the Tavern and this entire concept comes from, he has to do it with modding.

Kk.

The way I'm doing it in my mod is to flag all units as Robotic, then make Mind Control cost 0 energy and not be able to target robotic units.

Alternativly, you could use Infest: Use an EXE Edit to set the infestable structure to the ICC at 100% HP, then give the ICC all the buttons you want.

Note that everyone will need the mod loaded for either of these methods to work.

What the hell are you talking about?
Wrong topic?

I'm talking about the Port in CodeX, which can be used by any side like the Taverns in WC3. The end result is that any player can use the Port/Tavern if they have a unit with MC (although only one player can control it at once).

can u say me which programs i will need to make 'port/tavern'?

Firegraft, DatEdit, IceCC, and WinMPQ.

i cannot run firecraft, icecc and winmpq. when i try to run the4se programs, writes some error. are there programs that can replace firecraft, icecc and winmpq?

I don't know why FireGraft isn't running for you, but you need Java to run IceCC, and these files to run WinMPQ.

EDIT: Oh, and you'll need the attached .txt file to prevent WinMPQ showing nothing but unknowns when you use it to open an .mpq file.

Waitwaitwait. We're all noobs. You could do this with triggers, you don't need modding. Use a Gateway or something, put a location around it, and if only one player has a unit at that location, give it to that player. And you can also change the produced units with a trigger, like this:

CONDITIONS:
Current player commands at least 1 <zealot, goon, rine, whatever>
ACTIONS:
Center <some location> on <the same unit you used in the condition>
Remove 1 <same unit as used in the conditions> at <location> for Current Player
Create 1 <some unit> at <the location>
Preserve trigger

The amount of heroes > the amount of buildable units.

Can't you set build permissions in StarEdit?

BTW: Isn't there a Move trigger in StarEdit?

Yes and yes. Although you can only disable a unit from being built, not make it built at a different structure or something.

Alright, you say you're a newbie at mapping. I would start doing it with triggers. If you're gonna leap from Mapping to modding that quick, you're gonna get really screwed up. Use create unit triggers and stuff. And even if you would somehow implement modding, you'd have to give it to everyone you wanna play with, have them all start the mod, and play that map. It wouid just take too much. Noone wants to do all that to play 1 newbie map. Not trying to bring you down or anything, just supplying you with info.
