A simple question

[224466]

Im new here, and I just wanna know how to add in units that start off in the scenario in the map creator. (Such as the Guards in creep war)

[PeterPorty]

To add units to a map, you need to transform it into a scenario. To do so, you need to code it in WML. A good place to start is the big "Crete" up there, under the logo. Good luck and have fun!

'Create', not 'Crete', and be warned, OP: some sections of the Create section are really outdated (it says so where it is).

On the other hand, if you're looking to visit the palace at Knossos, Crete is a good place to start

(Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

Dammit, Caphriel, I was about to make a minotaur joke...


Anyway, an even better (and not outdated) way is to simply look at the .cfg file, probably of creep war, since you seem to be familiar with it, and learn from there. It's not like binary, it's easy to tell what something does when you see it.

Yeah, yeah... You guys are mean ;_;

Anyways, I'm not gonna edit it, since.... yeah. >.<

@OP look at existing add-ons and see how it's done. Take a look at ReferenceWML since, unlike most of the rest, this guide is about 95% up-to-date. A hint to get you started reading: what you want is done with keys inside an [event] tag.

Other short answer: you can't do it in the map editor.
