Hi want to make a campaign but cant get a good ehough start because i dont know jack about triggers so if any one can pm me any trigger tutorials they have i ecspecially want cinematic tutorials but all and any tuts will be welcome thanks in advance
Well, for a campaign save/load stuff wont really be nessesary (although you could use it). There are a lot of nice tutorials here http://maps.worldofwar.net/tutorials. Scroll down the list, you find stuff about Game Cache, Strings, Variables, Arrays, camera editing, and campaigns (along with other interesting and helpful stuff). It's a lot to go through, but thats a great way to learn the stuff!
Hmmm...If I understand, you are a noob, and you don't know much about triggers?
1. WAY
Then you should download some maps and look how are they creted.
1.) Play map and try to found one trigger
2.) Open this map in map editor and search for this trigger.
3.) When you find trigger, try to see how is it constructed.
4.) On the end, try to creati this trigger by yourself.
I'm using this way for learning, I hope that you will found this interesting.
2. WAY
Let me to explain trigger. Trigger is constructed from EVENT, CONDITION and from EFECT. I will explain you each part and give you an example:
EVENT = use this to chose, when will trigger start. (map instalization) - this will run trigger when map will be loaded.
CONDITION = use this to chose, what must be done before start of efect (unit dies) - when a unit you chose die, effect will start.
EFECT = in this part, chose what will trigger do. For example: (create unit facing point) - this will create unit at the point you select turned to anoter selected point.
NOW, LET SEE WHAT TRIGGER WE CREATE: Trigger will run at the begining of your map. When you will kill unit you chosed in condition, another unit will apear on the point you selected in efect.
I hope you understand something, because my english is realy bad!!! Anyone who know how to write properly, please replay another time and correct my mistakes and bad spelling.
How I learned myself: I played a lot of Starcraft Maps online and looked at them and tested them.
Later on I got wc3 and tested it and then I downloaded: A Troll And His Rock which helped me a lot! You can find it at www.warcraft.org DOWNLOAD it it ROX! First play it then open it in the World Editor and go to: Module- Trigger Editor!
Good Luck with the map making, Make some simple maps where you TEST EVERYTHING before you start to make a whole project that you cant handle...
