This is my first map, called dod_saintmere. I takes place in the small village Saint Mere-Eglise, Normandy. You'll probably know it from the movie "The longest day".

Before I can finish my map, and show u guys some pics, I have a few questions.

1. I know how to make advanced spawns, but can it be done after the first advanced spawning, 1 more time??? :confused:

2. Before the advanced spawn will work, 2 points have to be captured. So when the church and then Hotel are captured, only then the advanced spawn will work, and the Allies will spawn in the Church and the Hotel. Is this possible? (if ya dont understand it, plz pm me then) :confused:

3. The Axis will spawn in the Hotel and the Church, until the Allies capture these points. Then the Axis spawn will be moved to a Chateau. (just like Zalec.) How do you do this?? :confused:

4. I have 3 88 flaks that have to be blown up, so a new opening to the last capture point will be opened. But the 88 flaks are not a objective of the mission. But only when all of the Flaks have been destoyed, then the opening will be made, otherwise not. Is this possible?? :confused:

Thx anyway for the answers! :)

Ok, no one cares about your map if you dont have any pics. And next time, post your questions, and your map preview in 2 different posts. Ok, and as for the questions.

1.I think so, just make it so that your second spawn is just like your first, and your third, is just like your second.

2.Probably but i dont know how.

3.This is the same thing as advancing spawn...

4.Yes, but again, I dont know entities well enough to solve this. All i know is that when the 88's break, they should target an entity, then it triggers the wall. What entity it is and how you get it to wait untill all 3 are blown, I dont know

Hope this helps

How can you post a WIP with no screenies?

Showing off literature? Books are supposed to be better for your imagination than watching TV, but you gotta draw the line somewhere! :p

Way to be constructive, your whole post was negative. This forum isn't all about eye-candy, when a mapper needs a bit of help and has very well thought out questions we're supposed to help him out.

I'm not sure why you don't want to put the 88's as objectives, since they're required to advance in the map how are people going to know to blow them unless they're listed as objectives.

wow, talk about negativity

Well I guess I'll try that then.

(and tw, I'm a junior member on the forum and a n00b mapper, so if I'm posting wrong things like wip, you know why :))

The questions should've gone in this thread, and the WIP part in another thread once he has pictures. That's forum rules. (Unless Hulk Bogan objects ;) )

lol, would you stop beating the dead hulk? :D

Follow, Fuzzdad's advice.

Make the map first.

Entities later....(unless u happen to be on another computer that has Worldcraft with nothing in it, so prehaps than u cna have opputunity to do some entity work)

Trust me, 98.7% of the things mentioned here in the forum is possible. So, do not worry.

a

b

also take note of the usage of trigger_changetarget. Might be useful depending on what u want...

Thx!!!! I'm not a pro with entities, but I'll work it out.

Ok, sorry for coming off so negative, but I get a little worked up sometimes when people dont read the F.A.Q. or the rules. They're called important for a reason(especially the map ideas. rreealllyyy gets me worked up, I mean come on, it says, map-ideas thread right there.)

I dont think my whole post was negative, I was relly trying to help him there. And I did to the best of my abilities, which i admit, are limited.

And whoever made those entite diagrams was realy helpfull..

And forbin....its true..I mean, if I just sat here and said "ok guys, this is my map...Its got buildings, with a tricycle that you blow up.." would you be interested? I sure as hell wouldn't. No matter what map it is. And do a search, Somone else said that before me. I get cought up in things and over-react I know that...But I cant stand it when people dont take the time to read the rules or read the posts that have "important" attached to them...Sorry for the long post...bah I over-reacted...
