How much access/control does a user-made map have to my computer exactly? Am I guaranteed to be free of virii/phishing/hacking "custom" maps?
Ladder map custom contest anytime soon? Balance patch and a change (more open) to the ladder maps are very badly needed. |

Here's a question that's actually important: Do you intend to EVER update the editor? It's rife with crashes and incredibly stupid word filters.
Edit: For clarity, I'm talking bout words like OWN and STARCRAFT blocking publishing if they're in the name or description. |

Is there an easy way to call a unit in the map? For example, if in a trigger I want to have a condition "Triggering Unit == Marine," but not a marine that's already on the map or something that uses "unit in unit group," "last created unit," or some other function that does everything except have a general statement for any marine.

Regarding the usability of the Galaxy Editor,
can you make it so that the Editor is more flexible in Import/ Export department? for example, I create a unit in Maya but then I cannot export the Custom Made unit into .Obj and import it directly into Editor. I would have to own 3D's MAX and import the file there, and then export it as some other file type. (EDIT) |

Can anyone tell me how to make place units that join you when you touch them (e.g, in Belly of the Beast, the Dominion Soldiers)? It seems to be a different method than in the original SC editor. Also, how the heck do I place Resources (min. fields and Geysers)? I'm totally lost in this new editor!

Use a comparison and set it to Unit Type of Unit(triggering unit) == Marine. |

Do you guys have any intention of adding a "beginner friendly" mode to Galaxy Editor that more closely matches the power of the Warcraft III World Editor?
Right now most maps on Battle.net are simple in premise and design. There's a ton of great looking things on Youtube, but they're just tech demos that likely will never be finished. Lots of great maps came from fairly inexperienced mappers who are being shut out by the complexity of the current editor. Any news regarding changes to make it more user-friendly would be greatly appreciated. |
