I was thinking of making a tutorial for making waterfalls, since many people ask for them. I'm not very good at it, but I did give it a shot. I was thinking of putting it into the tutorials, but I wanted people to review it first. Say if I missplelled anything, or if I should add a step or add/improve an explination.

Creating a Waterfall
In Jungle Tileset
Created in StarCraft Map Draft 2
Step One: Create a T shape of water.
Step 2: Create High Dirt next to the T as shown in the picture.
Step 3: Extent the southern part of the T one pixel up and one left.
Step 4: Turn the Top part of the T into High Dirt the turns into water by copy and pasting the water to dirt one pixel up and then finding the corresponding tile of high dirt that matches the tile that goes with the top of the water as shown in the picture.
Step 5: Copy and Paste random watercliff tiles to the area between the water where the water fall is going to be.
Step 6: Extend your cliffs to your liking.
Step 7: Add Sprites to your chosing. Becareful to not over do the sprites! The Sprite that makes it look like a waterfall is under: Spites;Unknown;Unknown;Unknown 3.
Step 8: Place locations at the base of the waterfall and make triggers that create any halucinated air unit and kill it imediatly, this will give it a nice effect that make it look real.
Expirement with this untill you can do it in your sleep. You'll get it, one day. And no, there is no way to get rid of those pesky white lines...

Pictures 3+4 are the same... Exactly the same.
Otherwise, nice. I might try it myself sometime (I'll probly screw it up...)

Meh... too bad, I sent it into the tutorials already. The language I used in some of the steps is pretty confusing though...
