Simple. I wanna use switches, but I cant figure out which ones are on or off. The main problem is I dont know how they start out, set or cleared. Anyone know?

They start off cleared.

We have tutorials for everything!

In response to that link i gotta say that its not very clear there, or I wouldn't have come here.I assumed it was cleared due to the line with off and on and set and cleared. But my problem is my map immediately ends thats why I didnt believe it was clear

I don't really understand your problem but you can change it to set instead of having it clear. What do you mean by immediatly ends? Once you start you automatically lose? Did you delete the default triggers that are for melee?

Yeah. I think I uploaded the triggers here and ill give a guide to all the locations and the general map after i get some reassurance from one person that my map wont be stolen.

Try remaking your end game triggers (defeat, victory, draw).

Yeah, I found the problemo. You were right, I never got rid of melee defeat and victory

Are you sure, since we only have the trigger file, that force 1 has any buildings? Because that was the only defeat trigger that I could find. Are there any other defeat triggers?

Edit: Ok ignore was typing while he replied.

Umm if i upload my map, will anyone here take credit for it/vouch for me if it comes out under a different name?

I don't think many people here will steal your map. And if you are really scared just protect it so people can't edit it.

But then they cant open it to find the probs....

I though you fixed your map already.

This website is the safest place to upload unfinished unlocked maps.

Oh well, I think you all can vouch for me. Heres a list of bugs, and if you do work them out post it up here under protection and give yourself credit in the mission objectives.(and protect it too if you want after all that hard work)

Problems:
1. In the center you supposed to bring your drone to formation and its supposed to take 10 secs and it will then create a crystal and a adrone and have drone move to crystal. Then if you take crystal to the whole its supposed to vanish and give you 100 mins and gas.
2. I dunno if any of the map revealers work.
3. Player 8 is supposed to have men created at SPAWN and then move to ENTER3 then be teleported to IN3 then move to LEAVE3 then get tele to PATH4 then move to ENTER4 and the process repeats. I couldn't tell if it worked in my test because dudes signed off in mid of game.
4.Victory and defeat trigs. Please see if they would work. Its supposed to take dude with highest kills after level3 and every1 else loses.
5. above crystal collection ya supposed to be able to move a civilian to an area to sacrifice 20 men to get 5 bonus kills.

Nothing else. I put up the protected and un so u can edit and test on b.net

Are you sure defense is unlocked? Because it won't open in my version of SC xtra

Yeah it's protected by GUEdit.

I didn't play the murder map, but I did spot some problems just by looking through the triggers. I spotted 2 problems and one other possible problem in your triggers. Look through the attached map; I have labeled all of the triggers I found a problem with using a comment. It won't be hard to spot.

Problem #1: Unless there is a trigger forcing the countdown timer to have a different number besides 0, the countdown timer is 0. With that in mind, this trigger will always executed within 3.5 seconds of the game starting. You can change this by changing the condition to "Countdown timer is exactly 1 game seconds." This trigger appears near the top of the trigger list for player 1-4.

---

Problem #2a/b: Now, I am assuming that you want the person with the most kills to win, while everyone else losses. With that in mind, I changed the action in problem #2b (it was set to "End scenario in victory for current player", just like problem #2a).
Both of these triggers won't fire though. I will tell you why in my next trigger (assuming I got the trigger firing order correct). This trigger appears near the bottom of the trigger list for player 1-4.

---

Problem #3a/b: Triggers are always executed from the top of the list to the bottom of the list. (Assuming I am correct, based on the last statement,) the starcraft engine never checks to see if the conditions of 2 triggers are met at the same time. With the "set Lev2" action in problem #3a, problem #3b will never be executed. These 2 triggers are located at the top of the trigger list for player 8.

If your going to lock a map, I recommend you use a program like LegacyWeapon's uberation or starforge. Both can be found the download database on here.

K. Thank you. The one problem that I think still is one, is the 2a/b, because I didnt understand it. How would I fix that?
And there was one more thing I didn't say. When it says ____ milliseconds, how many are equal to one second, because I wanted to have my name appear gradually when played, although it didnt really work out that way, all you see Is good luck (Mission Briefings)
And one other thing I didnt discuss that may work now, gonna go test it, is that level2 never started, anyone know why?

P.S. Murderer was unprotected for editing, and Defense was to see how it played before you tried to figure out the bugs in the triggers.

EDIT: I found one problem its in these 3 trigs:

null

Trigger

Players:

¤ Players 1-4

Conditions:

¤ Current Player Brings one Zerg Drone to Crystal

Actions:

¤ Remove all Zerg Drones belonging to current player at crystal

¤ Set countdown timer to 20

¤ Preserve Trigger

null

Trigger

Players:

¤ Players 1-4

Conditions:

¤ Countdown timer is exactly 1 game seconds

Actions:

¤ Create 1 Zerg Drone at Drone

¤ Create 1 Mineral Crystal at Tiny

¤ Issue order to Zerg Drone owned by current player to move to Tiny

¤ Preserve Trigger

null

Trigger

Players:

¤ Players 1-4

Conditions:

¤ Current player brings one Mineral Crystal to Deposit

Actions:

¤ Kill 1 mineral Crystal at deposit

¤ Add 100 ore and gas to Current Player

¤ Preserve Trigger

The problem is it only works once, and you cant have a different timer for each person, or can you?

1000 milliseconds = 1 second.

i dunno if these forums work this way, but its worth a try:
*BUMP*

If your not gonna take all of the SEN pros' advice, then dont make a topic about it.

mili means 1/1000.
