Possible to add units in the map file?

Post by TradeMark »

Would be cool to add some units in the map, like creating some pre-set base, or etc..

Or just few cannons, or shields which you cant destroy...

So is it possible to create map file, (like .sd7 or .sdz), and without any scripts i could add my units in some specific position?

Unlike the start-scripts, LuaGaia scripts are meant to be included in map
archives. They can create new units, control the units in game, etc... You
could also have the script convert map defined features into units if it made
the map creation process easier.
