Simple Tower Defense p2 (Starcraft 2 Editor Tutorial)

MAKE SURE TO WATCH IN 720P
In this tutorial I go through making a tower defense for the Starcraft 2 beta.

What I do show:
- 5 waves
- 1 custom builder
- 1 custom building for the builder
- defeat conditions (not lives though)
- leaderboard
- triggers to do these things as well as spawning and timing

What I don't show:
- custom units for each wave
- selling towers
- lives-based losing
- multiple region/waypoint unit orders
- non-buildable terraining

@OneTwoSC dude thank you so much. It worked perfectly. And your walkthroughs are very good.

StarCraft II's editor is amazingly user friendly compared to other editors in terms of what you can do... you can effectively make your own game without using code! The problem is, there's a bunch of parameters one must stort thru to understand the data and trigger editors.

I was looking forever in the new map editor for the full version of the game for repair resource and eventually figured out it was called cost now :P

Great video I got the jest of it but I cant seem to get the Missile turret to Turn. There are only the facing values and turning radius but I cant seem to find the mechanic that allows the Turret to rotate freely.

You kinda walked right past me when your thing about actors. I understand that the actor gives it the action effects but while following you i had no idea what you were doing and why you were doing it. By chance do you know of any good tutorials on how to edit actors? Like making a probe shoot out a bolt of achon lightning instead of his normal attack or having a missile look like a baneling instead. I'm lost here.

*sigh* Why is there always a problem with my stuff when I'm following you, OneTwo? :c Most likely because it's the Beta Editor.

I don't know if you'll ever respond to this, but after following what you did exactly, my photon cannons don't fire. They make firing animations, but there is no "electric ball" I made the actors the (not basic cannon, but) Power Cannon's and such and blah blah, but it still refuses to fire anything. It also does no damage, because the ball is non-existent.

@OneTwoSC I think all my actors are named Photon Cannon Copy, or something of the sort. Could I send you what I've done so far? I've looked at it many times and still can't find the issue...

[XDarKMogX]

ugh, I followed all parts of this tutorial, but I've run into only 1 problem. I can build my cannon just fine, models are correct, but for some reason, it won't shoot. The little head thing on the cannon sways back and forth as if it's shooting, but nothing comes out and no enemies get damaged. I think all my actors are correct..

I make the Wave Types Variable, and then i make the action with the variable set as wave types, but when i click on value, to set the unit, i dont get that list with all the units, instead i get this white box with the only unit i can select is the builder i made? any solution you can think of

[lilpanagos]

i tried making the wave type type (0) and all it says is builder, i try to change unit type but all i can do is "any unit" or select "any item" but it soesnt show up all the units like you have

[TheMightySoap]

@antonio Hint: Look in your starcraft 2 folder for a program called map editor

[drezzinator]

this doesnt work. idk if its cuz its on beta and im obviously not but at the very end of the video i press on the value type and the box is VERY different. theres no list of units, the only thing is listed is the builder cuz i placed him on the map. theres no way to select a generic type of unit

I was following this and i scrolled my mouse by accident while in data and i lost everything, i can't find anything man.

[stelios]

@OneTwoSC i have the same problem as blindpheonix12 and i dont understand how to fix it

[Superclam]

So I tried going into the game and testing it with my basic cannons and they had the white error ball thing in them, can you help?

[haji]

how do I change the cost of a building like a pylon and make it FREE?

[JWH]

I tried duplicating a ghost once in the official version of the editor and got a big dome instead of the actual ghost. I checked everything off and I never added any abilities to the ghost. Does someone know what is wrong?

[blindpheonix]

@OneTwoSC ah thank you i figured it out

[hjm]

I need help at 0:00 - 0:06 I can't find the Basic Turret anywhere, (Btw I'm in Token Value, is that the right box?)

[assassin]

where can you find the player - set alliance?
