under the object editor select the unit you want, then go into the units properties, near the top you will see a thread labled art-scaling value change this to whatever you want the units size to be. [Note:This is if you want the unit to be a different size at the start of the game.]
If you want a units size to change in game then you can use a trigger similar to this one
Event
(your event goes here)
Condition
(your conditions go here)
Action
Animation - Change (your unit)'s size to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) of its original size

hm... there should be a action like unit-change unit scale or size. there you can set new values for the unit size in x-y-z direction (well, if you dont want to squeeze your unit then set to all the same value).

EDIT: oh its already answered on page 2. didnt see :wink:

THX...

But here is some more quetions:

1. How can i create a Kind if a RPG style, like that the camera folows you whole the time your in the play.. like they did on Final Fantasy Forever if someone have tryed it... do you understand???

2. how can i teleport a unit via just a region whit out a way gate???

3. how can i make a hero go faster or slower (In runing and Attacking)

4. and i have tryed to import a spell but it wont work?? i have copyed the veriable and triggers and the spell but the spell wont work... i dont understand this??
#19
1) there must be a function like camera-attach camera to unit or something like this, i cant remember ecaxtly...

2)
EVENT: a unit enters <regionX>

CONDITION: put here what you want to check

ACTION: unit-move unit instantly to <PointY>

3)use the function unit-set movement speed to <value>

4) well its hard to say what u made wrong - you have to COPY (!!!) all the variables, regions, units and whatever you need. and then you can copy the trigger. make sure all functions have the correct unit, variable, etc adressed. so, you made basically everything correct but maybe you have forgotten one tiny thing you dont see. then it should work fine.

hope that helped you a bit. :wink:
#20
yea it helped, but one more thing:

1. how can i get agilty to just give u speed up net dmg to, and strenght up give me dmg insted PER LVL!!

2. How can i block out cheats (so no one takes Cheats)??

do you understand by the way i realy need the number 1 on the last quetion!!
Can someone pliz answear the quetion!!
#21
hm...

to 1)

>strength gives health
>intelligence grants mana-regeneration and mana-points
>agility gives greater attack-rate and armor

thats what they get always - additionally the attributes give attack bonus if your hero has the attribute as primary attribute.

for example:
Hero Paladin has strength as primary attribute. if he gets a strength-point now, he gets health-points AND attack bonus. but if he gets a agility point then he gets ONLY attack-RATE and armor. Got it???

to change now the primary attribute go to object manager into category units. then select your hero and in the right field scroll to F)stats-primary attribute. there you can now change the value.

to 2)

well, i havent found a function in normal WorldEditor. i know you can change that in WEU - but i dont know how to do in WE, sry.
#22
Ok thanks, but i realy need to know the answear from someone:

1. How can i create a Kind if a RPG style, like that the camera folows you whole the time your in the play.. like they did on Final Fantasy Forever if someone have tryed it... do you understand???
#23
Should we make the whole map for you? Ok go into the object editor and change the scaling value size of the unit. Bigger numbers on the unit means a bigger sized unit Smallers numbers equals well u can figure that much out.
#24
lol this has already been answered. here on page 2 are loads of new questions :wink: .

and to question with cam: i dont know the exact function there has to be something like camera-apply cam to unit .... you may check that out. :wink:
#25
to attach a camra to a unit you must create a trigger, normally this works in addition to a region. the unit will be created at the start of the game and placed in the region, after this the trigger is as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------
Events
Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
Conditions your conditions
Actions
Camera - Lock camera target for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) to (Triggering unit), offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Default rotation
------------------------------------------------------
this will lock the camra target to the unit. Also, you can lock the camra orientation to the unit. the trigger that attaches the orientation can be found directly under the "Camra- Lock camera target" trigger

Hope this helps. Good luck with your map.
#26
Thanks but here some more quetions...

1. the last answear you gave me worked nice, but how can i make the camera watch right behind the unit all the time like a tird person shooter game, or if someone have tryed a paintball map!!..

2. and the win by killing a spesial creep worked to, but how do i make the other players lose when the wining team kills the creep???

3. How can i make a spesial creep come every 4 sec after 300 sec in a region.

and sorry for asking so many quetions, i am not so good in map editing!!!.... i try not to ask so many quetions from now on!!!
