Can anyone make me a custom map?

I was thinking of having one where you had to spread overlords, creep from queens, to all 3 corners of the map starting from one corner. Also the 3 pathways to each corner would have terrain relevant to the maps we are playing in 1on1 (ramps etc).

Not sure if this is the right place to put this 8)

Do you just want a custom map that is designed to help with Zerg macro? I think there are a few of those around. Or is it creep spreading specifically that you wanted?

Custom maps don't count towards achievements.

Why do AI controlled units try to move to the bottom left of the map, and how can I stop it? This happens for both existing and new AI controlled units.

I saw someone using Lurkers in a custom map. When I open Galaxy Editor I don't have Lurkers or any of the campaign specific units. Is my version too old? Where do I acquire these?

@King_Nothing- You don't make fight the AI in custom games you start a 1v1 using a blizzard map in the multiplayer menu.

When I place vespene geysers in a melee map I'm making and then test the map, my harvesters regardless of race, dance round the refinery etc. before entering and actually collecting gas. How can I get them to just take a straight course to the gas, get in, get out and go straight back to command center etc?

2 simple questions:

how do I set metabolic boost as upgraded for zerglings?

where can I find guides and tutorials for map editor? I could only find some videos with some complex stuff, but nothing as simple as adding the upgrade for zerglings or stim pack for marines or even a complete guide from basic to advanced.

I managed to make the neural parasite available for infestors, so I know how to do some stuff in the Data module, but the metabolic boost to zerglings, I just can't find anything in the Data module to change or edit to make it already upgraded.

thanks in advance.

Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest.

I'm not sure; that sounds like some sort of strange placement issue. Have you tried copying the placement of geysers with relation to main buildings of popular maps, putting it in a melee map of your own, and then trying it out?

1. How im making in a map for example tanks to use siege and zealots speed. I found menu - modules/data/data types-upgrades but there not sure how to research a spell or tallent). In the map i have tanks dont siege when atacking and zealots are slow

i found a window Ability command-point, where is selected "atack" - so tanks can atack, but i dont see in the list in that window a patroll command. Probably tanks dont siege because they are not patrolling...

2. how im inserting a text in chat in second x and a sound?

Some people are having this problem...its just a glitch...there are a few ways to solve it.

1. Add a little bit of pathing blocker around the side of the geyser until they stop messing around.
2. Switch geyser models, if you are using natural switch to manmade, this should solve it.
3. Try rotating the geyser.

In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

Does anyone know of a map that is good for testing out units/buildings? I'd settle for one that just demonstrates what units do but would prefer one with buildings because I'm trying to teach a friend what everything does. I guess a standard map where you just start with a lot money would work.

I am trying to make a map with both scouts and a new unit called a scout bomber. The scout bomber has an attack that is like the scout's anti-matter missiles except it targets ground units. The problem is that the scout bomber's attack seems to originate from under the scout bomber and not from the scout bomber itself. This problem can be seen by opening my test map and attacking the command center:

I have achieved the desired effect by making the scout's normal attack target ground instead of air, but this isn't a solution for my map since I need the weapons of the scout and scout bomber to be different with two different damages. If anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong, it would save me from pulling my hair out. Thanks.

In the trigger that spawns the zerg, you can add as a condition a "trigger execution count." Set it up so that the condition is the number of times the current trigger has been executed < 1.

wtf is it correct, that protoss doesn't have any MASSIVE ground units? because even though i never made a map myself, i had the idea to block an expension with a neutral forcefield...

but thinking about it for a while it doesn't even seem balanced between terran and zerg since thors come a lot faster than ultralisks. and since toss doesn'T have massive units it seems, this idea goes to the bin i guess.
