New Maps and Mods Tutorial: Missile Movers

May 2, 2011 at 7:38 PM

We've just expanded the StarCraft II Maps and Mods page with the Missile Movers tutorial, located here. The missile mover system allows the map maker to control motion in dramatic and entertaining ways. While typically used to configure missile-based attacks, the underlying motion defined by the missile mover system can be used to drive a reaper's body when it jumps or a spine crawler's tentacle when it attacks. Add this tutorial to your toolbox and get more out of your custom map creations.
