help with custom abilities

It goes in the order you make custom abilities. The first will be A000, second A001, etc

yer i know... but it should automatically put it in for you... at least, i reckon the rest of the editor lives up to that level. it doesnt really matter... just my thought.

How do you take a screenshot of your map that looks like that?
How did you get that screenshot?

advanced > view entire map

took a screenshot whith the regions palette open so the regions were visable, then i wrote on it in good old ms paint (and transferred it ovewr to photoshop when i couldnt get a decent image in jpg or gif).

its the same type of view just looking str8 down and from high up. meaning u can zoom back in. also incase u didnt know hold control and the left mouse button and move the mouse around to change view angles.

my map so far...

ive got the terrain pretty much done, i added a few bends in the lanes (to spice it up a bit ) towers are in and everything all the units are done (exceot the heroes) the units are fighting properly and im pretty happy with it.

whats left? i have to make all the heroes which im in the process of doing but i want someone else to do the abilities coz i dont know anything about buffs and effects etc which means i dont know much about making custom abilities. then i have to make a multiboard and then its pretty much done.

CAN ANYONE DO THE ABILITIES FOR MY MAP

--------------------------------------

problem at the moment is with the hero choosing... i decided to be maverick and make a new way of choosing a hero (at least ive never seen this technique before) and i cant see why this trigger doesnt work.

its the trigger for the trolls team. ive got a wisp unit who can cast a variation of anti magic shell on one of the heroes in the arena area. theoretically the hero should move to the region selected so no1 else can choose it and change ownership (and ill worry about the wisp dissappearing and everything later) but all that happens is he casts the spell and nothing happens.

Ditch those conditions and just put one that checks to see if the ability being cast is the one that your wisp casts.

didnt fix it... probly just use a tavern

Also, the event is not related to a player, so the event response "Triggering Player" isn't going to work. Use (Owner of (Casting Unit)).

as an event or condition ? can u give the whole thing what youe mean. like what it refers to. otherwise i have no idea and it will take me hours to figure out how to do what you are saying.

i kind of get what u mean tho... where it says, create unit for triggering player, it wont work because the triggering payer has not been defined is that right? i wouldnt think it would matter becuase the triggering player is the triggering player but i can accept that it does matter.

EDIT.

do u mean owner of casting unit equal to player X... and make a seperate trigger for each player?

i think , that he mean that every time when you use the word: "triggering player" "trigering unit"
you will need to replace them by the words "owner of casting unt" "casting unit"

hmm think ill just use taverns.
