gundams dont have flesh

can you force the unit to auto target if you can give it a dummy 2nd weapon with a larger range?

still alive and kicking i see. excellent

Back in the day spring had a similar unit experience system as seen in TA; ie: with kills a unit get tougher, maybe even more effective weapons? Anyways some versions of spring i remember some config settings for it, and then maybe it was turned off entirely and possibly scrapped? My question is the...

Yeah, that's what I was getting at... Put 2 weapons on it, one of them being one that is invisible and doesn't do anything, with a range slightly less than kamikaze range and boom, you have your kamikaze airplane that dives at ground targets. what if the aircraft already has other weapons (like air...

Its been awhile.... I've been tinkering with some stuff but its all based on some old version of the game, like years ago old. Has any one for any game/ mod made a working kamikazi aircraft with lua magic or new engine crap? I remember there was a cruise missile that was an actual aircraft and that ...

call it digipoke RTS, and make up your own digital poket monsters with dragon balls and all that jazz. oh wait. dont call them dragon balls, might get sued for that too. call them mon balls.

what game?

Alright guys now aside from the technical aspect which I see is very open, so lets get back to design philosophy. Smoth expressed concern with an unbalanced OP in leveling. could there be a way to balance leveling? Smoth, are you implying that a sinle tech level game has the best balance system? Lev...

I also wanted to make a game like Civ but in RTS. A tech tree is no biggy. zwzsg made some awesome tech gadgets awhile back and you can make it building dependant and rather complex it is up to you. Unit types? TA already had 200+ and spring started off as a port from that game into a new engine, so...

you can control metal, energy cost, and build time also on the fly?

right. But if you are modifying the unitdef via lua rules to simulate upper tier units, would that affect all units with that unit def or only specific ones? for example player 1 and 3 both have the same race so if player 1 builder an upper tier version of on units that require modification would th...

Ah yes. The unitdef limit would indeed require an upper end. okay maybe instead of open it would have an upper limit, and since the cost increase exponentially than a practical tech level maximum could be calculated. Players wont be running up a tech tree for more than a couple hours. How long do so...

I'm kind of floating around the idea of a little concept game that uses scripts to create tech levels that have no upward limit. The idea being that units in each higher tech level becoming exponentially more expensive, as they get more DPS, HP, range etc. While resource gathering units would also g...

Try a 2009 Engine version. I dont think the AI worked very well so it will be kind of boring unless you find people to play with.
