I just started learning about the editor and most videos are outdated or or to complex to understand. Your is simple and clear. Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks, I thought that there were tons of different tutorials on the terrain editor judging by the "sc2 editor beginner tutorial" search result. But after watching some of them, no one seemed to have made a complete breakdown of the basic functions.
AMAZING tutorial, i've been WANTING Sc2 editor tutorials that are NEW forever now, specifically 2016, and your explainations are SUPERB compared to the much older and outdated editor tut's on youtube. PLEASE continue to do these and go in depth on the editor :).
I came for the tutorial, but I found my new desktop. Now I have to learn how to customize and configure this tool first, before I go on with the video. I had to search the comments first, because the software was not mentioned in the video description. You want to know as well? So search the comments... Just kidding : he is using rainmeter with the skin Neon Space for that nice looking desktop.
Very confused here. I am trying to create a standard melee map with 2 start locations for either players or A.I, But when I tested it out the game instantly ends with a Victory screen. :(
I want to make a Command and Conquer Map version of SC2. So you have to build buildings from you Nexus, Hatchery or Command Center. And Keybuildings that normaly unlock Unit types, like Cybernetics Core unlocks Stalkers for warpgates, can be trained there. And every thing seems to work, but i cannot get Mineralz to respawn after a certain time in a chosen location. I just couldn't figured out.
I know this is vid is old and maybe no one will see this, but I need to ask anyways. I just got into map making. I own all the downloadable content for this game. Whenever I got into a new map HOTS and Void are missing. When I try to manually go in and pick them the Editor says I don't own them, but I do. Is there a fix for this? Do I need to beat the chapters in game before unlocking the stuff in the Editor?
Hey I just found the solution to this. Apparently the Editor has its own login system. So you need to go to File > Manage Published... then log in there, after that I was able to start a new map with HotS and Void options. Hope that helps you and anyone else with the same issue.
Any chance of Blizzard giving the editor the ability to make standalone game? I mean I am very proficient with both Galaxy and World editor, and if I could release a standalone game using it, crediting and giving blizzard some royalties, that would be so awesome.
Not likely. I've thought about the same thing a couple of times, because the editor is powerful enough and has a lot of potential, but it just won't make any sense for Blizzard. It would steer players away from the original game and they'll lose a ton of players.
+Едуард «BreakTheWind» Георгиев Yeah i thought about it but then blizzard would lose customers. I thought a nice idea would be to implement some sort of profit where blizzard gets a cut (like20-30%) for every game published.
Can you do a tutorial about the campaign stuff When I add the campaign stuff my barracks just get mess up I want it to be the same like in the multiplayer
Okay, I have a (maybe difficult) question, I duplicated a missile ability to make my own, and got it all working, but the missile is created much lower than the units 'centre', is there any way i can make the missile be created at a higher point? EDIT: the missile spawns basically at height zero, while i want it to be created at the height of the arms of my archon.
It depends on the type of missile you've duplicated. If the missile is launched via an 'Action' actor then you can attach the launch point inside the 'Launch Attachment Query+' field of the actor. Most of the time it looks just fine if you've chosen the 'Center' option, because most models have a 'Center' attachment point, but if you want it to launch from the archon's hand, then you have to find out what attachment point name the archon's hand has. To make it easier for you I can just tell you that it is called 'WeaponLeft', but if you want to know how to figure out what attachment points the model has then follow my steps: Go into the 'Models' section and find the Archon model. Go into the 'Model' field and press 'View In Cutscene Editor' (this will take a while to load). Once you're in there go to the top and go to Object -> Model Data. It will show you some data from the model, including the attachment points. To show where these attachment points are located on the model itself go to the top and go to Render -> Show Geometry -> Attachment points. If your missile isn't launched via an 'Action' actor then forget all of this I've written above. I don't think you can attach the missile without an 'Action' actor but you can always increase the height of the missile itself. If this is the case then go to your missile's actor and go into the 'Host Site Operation+' field. Add a new site operation (green plus) click choose and search for 'move'. All the 'SOp Move.....' are site operations that will either move the missile up, down, or to the sides. I use these methods ALL THE TIME because it makes your game look more visually pleasing. Hope it helps :)
I have a slight problem with starting positions, if i click once it creates two of them at the same location and occasionally when i start the map the hostlile spawns direclty besides me, hilfe plz . if i delete one it deletes both...
My issue with all of this is: I cannot even find where the maps are in this damn game to start editing. I go to starcraft 2/maps and that shit be empty. I just want to edit a map and then see if it works. BUT NOOO.. blizzard gotta come with that nonsense to make everything either hidden or stored somewhere i would never look.
How do we just update an old map to sc2 ? can we play sc1 maps in sc2 ? Some Just Remake Gang wars and Gang wars tournament 1.55 ... Cube d - would be nice also ( Cube defense , Cube d SE , Cube D NE ) preschool wars was cool too
I am sorry, your video is amazingly helpful however the amount of times you say "uh" and "um" is also amazingly annoying and hard to follow, maybe write a script or something before the video

Damn shame you stopped making vids, it's very interesting to see new ways of doing things from other people as far as the editor goes.
HOLY SHIT THAT WALLPAPER I WANT IT.
The year is 2021, my dumb ass is just getting into learning how to do this. It's very helpful and love the wallpaper (v ' .')b
MY suggestion: Do a tutorial about lightning system, shadows, region hiding stuff.
Lazz I doubt your gonna see this now a days but I'm glad you were one of the people who taught me a lot of what I know in the editor :)
wow your backround, please tell me,where I can get this crazy shit
People have been asking for the soundtracks, so I have provided them in the description.
You where can I get that background. That's awesome

you got any videos on how to use bridges ?
draven5149 if you haven't figured it out as far as I know you use the pathing as he did over the lake and then place a bridge doodad over it
Dude! Your desktop is KICK ASS!!! How did you set it up like that?

Maybe they will lose players but the profits would be worth it I think. 30% for published game's earnings can be huge if some make it big.
Thanks for useful video! What a music used at background? :)
Updated the description ;)
Thank you very much :)
There is any way to improve performance in large maps? (Maybe playing with the terrain or something)
Can you please make another video about alliances cuz I don't know how to make it work

I cannot even find where the maps are in this damn game to start editing.

Some Just Remake Gang wars and Gang wars tournament 1.55 ...
Cube d - would be nice also ( Cube defense , Cube d SE , Cube D NE )
preschool wars was cool too
So you have to pay for all the premium content to use the editor to full extent?
I know I am late, but no you dont need to pay
Okay, What is that background stuff? I want it!
The background stuff? Do you mean the background music? :D
Edit: They have been listed in the description.
+LazZ's StarCraft II Editor Tutorials I think he means the desktop UI. I'm pretty curious myself actually.
Oh, the software is called Rainmeter and the skin I'm using is called Neon Space.
is there any chance to get more info. about this beatiful plugin ( is this for Windows?)
oo, Windows 7, nicee
my suggestion ,,,watch some tutorials on speaking out loud lol dude sorry to say but listening to you stumble though this was painful
Thanks for your suggestion, but I don’t make tutorials anymore.
I hate this guy....
Reason: He has windows 7 and I'm jealous
I want to convert, please show me the way.
I am sorry, your video is amazingly helpful however the amount of times you say "uh" and "um" is also amazingly annoying and hard to follow, maybe write a script or something before the video
