Don’t mind Hive, they are busy making another RPG.
Anyway, looking at your map it looks a bit messy. Can you describe exactly the problem or add comments in the triggers and upload the map again? I’m not sure what you were going for in some part of the code.

I dont know, i was not even able to launch the game it said that its from different version of editor.

but something strange was on the borders of the map. idk if they changed it recently but there seems to be nothing on the edges of the map when there used to be safe space about 500-1000pix…

maybe it has something to do with creep entrance region… maybe it need to be closer on middle of the map and its too near the edge and that s why creeps cant be created there and that one trigger cant be turned on. idk i really dont know.

the previous editor corrupted everything. the most up to date editor these days is the test realm one. everything worked for days however and as such, it can not be the editor`s fault.

If you were banned then you must have done something which violated the site rules. Unless what was done was major, usually one gets multiple chances. The HiveWorkshop staff is quite reasonable most of the time.

Hive is not making any specific map. It is a community of people of which many are making many different maps.

You might be confused and think that the map the moderator TriggerHappy is making is an official Hive map. Although many people, moderators and members both, support the map it is not an official map of Hive.

PTR editor maps are not supported. There was a huge warning/disclaimer that they most likely will break when loaded in the live version. That said personally I had no problem but I only tested the Lua custom script functionality of the PTR.

Use 1.31.1 editor. It is production ready now and does not have the string bugs.

No the most up to date editor is the 1.31.1 release. It was released. PTR should be offline.

In any case enough speculation. The map does open perfectly with 1.31.1 World Editor despite the warning.

For some reason there is a trigger per wave. This is rather poor programming practice as it makes maintenance harder.

There are a ton of location leaks as well. This could really hammer performance late game.

I am guessing part of the issue is because you are not removing dead spawns for your creep group. Dead units are not automatically removed from unit groups. You need to explicitly remove them. Additionally they may or may not (I am not sure) count towards a group not being empty even if they are dead. The solution is that on death remove them from the unit group.

I know exactly what Hive is, if you don’t get the point of what I said there’s no need to quote.

11

Did you realize tho that games created with the test editor dont work with the actual game 1.31b?

12

i did nothing wrong on the hive workshop, i was not even there for months because people threatened me. i heard of the ban on the battle.net forums. dead creeps is removed from the unit group in the creeps killed trigger. it is easy to overlook. please help me fix the bugs so that i can get back to work.

13

Well his map does load up fine in 1.31.1 release. Ignore the warning and it loads.

14

what editor or game it is that loads it is beside the point. the point is that something in the map broke yesterday and i want to fix it. it is a tower defense but, for some reason the first wave does not start.

15

I manage to spot the issue.

Wave = 1 must be initialized after the wave 1 trigger is turned on, not before or it does not work.

I made for ya fixed version that uses optimized timer that what I consider to be more conventional than what you used. but ur way works too…

have a good day! :slight_smile:

16

what rpg? they making?

17

that only fixed the first wave and not the absent multiboards. now the first wave spawns but neither the later waves nor the multiboard that shows the wave number and the creeps appears. the script stops working and runs into a constant loop after completing the first wave. neither of the multiboard triggers now runs and i have no idea how to fix that issue.

18

Not our problem. To quote yourself…

No mention of “multiboards”. First wave now spawns so the original problem is fixed.

I might suggest writing a proper data fed TD system and using that. I wrote one the other day for a person named “mati”. They are not that hard to write, it took only 2 hours or so, less if one uses JASS or Lua.

19

no, it is not. the problem was that none of the waves spawned and now only the first wave spawned. i apologise for forgetting to mention the multiboard. i have not learned jass or lua and as such, i need to use triggers. i did however say waves and not wave. the original problem is therefore not solved. that is one of the problems with the community, they provide a partial solution and gets angry because it is not accepted.

i dont know about comminity tho. I have never been part of any map making community, thus there never has been anyone to teach me. So i learned everything on my own and looking blizzard made test maps during the years of 2003-2019… so yeah i do things in my own way. but i didnt want to wayste my time to test all of the thingies in your map i tought it had just one bug which i then solved. but it seems like there are many things that doesnt not really work, even tho some of the things work but need adjustment.
