This thread is composed of information compiled from a similar thread started by Whitehorn in the Triggers and Scripts forum, focusing on information specific to the General Development forum. I will attempt to keep this stickied thread current by incorporating suggestions on regular basis and cleaning up the posts. Please make all suggestions in this thread; don't post other threads about it and please don't PM me with the suggestions. If a topic is sufficiently large, I'll give it its own post in this thread and link to it from the first post. Note that this is not a source of tips for triggering.
Navigating in the World Editor
To manipulate the camera in the main World Editor window:
To rotate the camera, hold CTRL and the right mouse button and move the mouse. Move right to rotate clockwise and left to rotate counter-clockwise. Move up to rotate the camera up, and down to rotate down.
The mousewheel zooms in and out.

In the distance in the world editor, there is a "blackness". This is because it does not show the map after a certain distance to conserve memory. If you need to view a certain distance away, you can hold down CTRL and move the mousewheel to change the distance at which the "blackness" starts. Moving the mousewheel forward brings the "blackness" closer, while moving backward pushes it away.
If you don't have a mousewheel, hold CTRL and SHIFT and then press the up or down arrows to change this in the same way.

To use game fog and see it in the WE, go to Scenario>Map Options and select "Use Terrain Fog", and then go to View>Fog Effects.
Contributed by Milkman.
To view the entire map as from an eagle's eye, go to Advanced>View Entire Map. Be warned, doing this puts a large amount of strain on your computer, since it's showing every element of the map at the same time. If you try this on a slow computer, it may lag too badly or freeze. Doing this is only recommended if you want to get a screenshot of your complete map.

To view a camera's motion while in the editor, select it in the Camera Palette. This lets you avoid having to play the map for a simple test.

Object Editor Tips
To copy objects (units, abilities, doodads, etc.) between maps, you can simply copy-and-paste. Open both maps in the World Editor, open the Object Editor, and select the object that you wish to copy. Right-click on the unit on the left (in the "tree") and select "Copy Unit" (or "Copy Doodad", etc.).
Switch to the other map using the Window menu. Right-click in the tree and select "Paste Unit".
If you're pasting a unit with custom abilities, you'll want to have copied the abilities over first, because if you don't, the new map won't be able to find them when you copy over the unit, and then you'll have to set them manually later.
Contributed by Whitehorn.
To make new hero units, create a new custom unit using an existing hero as the base. Change the unit Stats, Art, Pathing, etc., to match the unit that you want to be a hero. Possibly the most critical field to change is "Art - Model File", which defines the model that the hero unit uses.
Contributed by Whitehorn.
To use a specific variant of a doodad model that has multiple variations, use the file path of the doodad, but add the variation number followed by .mdl at the end. The WE automatically adds these variations to the path when the doodad is set for multiple variations, but many other objects, like units, don't have support for multiple variations.

If you need to see the object id's for whatever reason, you can make them appear in the Object Editor by hitting CTRL+D or going to View>Display Values As Raw Data. This allows you to use the object id for things like spell tooltips, as well as for other possible uses.
Contributed by BANE.
If you're selecting a model for an object or spell effect, you can preview the model by using a combination of the Object Editor and the main WE window. In the Object Editor, under the object that you want to change, go to the model selection and change it to a model that you wish to preview. Switch back to the main WE window, and the model will appear in the window on the middle of the left side. This allows you to rotate and position the model to see it in any fashion, and lets you select the different animations that the model has.

When editing a field in the object editor, you can make it ignore its hardcoded boundaries by holding SHIFT while double-clicking on it. This will allow you to enter negative values as well as values above any upper limit set by the game designers. Bear in mind, however, that lots of abilities won't know how to use values outside their set limits properly. Feel free to experiment.

In order to properly set an icon in the command card for any kind of object, it's necessary to understand the button matrix. The command card in the lower-righthand corner of the screen has four buttons across and three buttons down. However, the numbers of these buttons start with 0 instead of 1. Therefore, the x-axis (left to right) buttons are 0, 1, 2, 3 and the y-axis (top to bottom) buttons are 0, 1, 2. By way of explanation, the smashed orc in the following diagram is in position 1,2 (x=1, y=2).

Map-Making Tips
To raise and lower doodads in the map, hold CTRL and press Page Up or Page Down.
Contributed by Milkman.
If you want to change the location of a doodad which has had its height changed manually, uncheck Advanced>Reset Fixed Object Heights, or else it will snap back to the level of the terrain.
Contributed by LegolasArcher.
To make rivers and bodies of water with smooth edges, make sure that Advanced>Enforce Water Height Limits is unchecked, and then paint deep water over the area where the river will be. Then, paint over the water using the "Increase One" terrain tool. Now you have plain ground with water underneath it (crazy!), so you can use the "Lower" tool to slope the ground into the water, making a nice river.
Contributed by Milkman.
You can make a river that appears to be flowing rapidly by placing Waterfall doodads over it and stretching them so that the water rushes quickly sideways.
Contributed by BananaTwist.
You can place doodads on top of each other by making them ignore collision. This can be accomplished by holding SHIFT while placing the doodad. However, two doodads cannot have the same center point.
Contributed by Dark Illidan and Milkman.
You can change the rotation of any object on the map by selecting the object, holding down CTRL and the left mouse button, and moving the mouse. However, some objects are only allowed to face in a few directions.
Contributed by Wyvern_8, SoulReaver, and Panto.
Destructible doodads can be set as dead by selecting the doodad and hitting DELETE. These doodads can be resurrected with triggers.
Contributed by Voi.
You can deselect anything that you have selected by pressing SPACE. Pressing SPACE again will re-select what you have just deselected.
Contributed by Milkman and Panto.
To quickly move an object or region, select it, hold ALT, and then left-click wherever you want it to be moved to.

Good Mapping Practices
Save and rename your map, or make a backup copy in a different directory, often. If anything goes wrong (like your program crashes or computer freezes), this allows you to start working again without much data lost. Since the World Editor can crash while you're saving your map and make the map file unreadable, it's wise not to just save over the same map file all the time.
Contributed by BANE and Panto.
Always right click on things! There's tons of useful stuff that you'll never see, just waiting to make life easier. For example, when editing skills, you can use the right-click menu option "Auto Fill Levels" to increment information automatically.
Contributed by BANE.
If you've got a slow computer and are experiencing lag problems in the WE, sometimes deleting the player start locations will clear this up for you. Just be sure to add them back in before you're done.
Contributed by Wyvern_8.
Try out new maps and new tools all the time. Seeing how other mappers and programmers do things can open your mind to new ideas for spells and systems. Even if you can't access a map, just seeing how something happens in-game can give you good ideas.
Contributed by BBDino.
Don't try to make a map based on what you think will be popular. There's no gaurantee that it will, even if you do a good job. Make maps that you think are fun to yourself, and do things that you enjoy doing. This may be the key to having fun with the map-making process.
Contributed by BBDino.
Make sure that your World Editor does not auto-save every 5 minutes.
Contributed by Whitehorn.
If your map becomes corrupted for any reason, remember that using the File>Test Map feature saves the map to a separate file, and you can get your map back from that.
Contributed by zotax.
While using the File>Test Map feature, the map will use the same random "seed" every time that you play it, which means it won't really be random at all. You can set it to use a truly random "seed" by going to File > Preferences > Test Map and unchecking "Use Fixed Random Seed".
Contributed by BBDino.
Don't work on one map for too long at a time; take breaks.

Hotkeys
Look up hotkeys for yourself in the File>Configure Controls menu. You can also change them and define things that don't have default hotkeys here. However, this menu is only available for Windows 2000 and XP.
