games finished - firework of doom

[manolo_]

so, is it possible to make a lua for the end of a game, where the units of the winning team fire into the air (maybe just com with dgun) or something like that?

[Argh]

Possible, certainly. Easy, no.

Possible, certainly. Easy, no.

Positively, undoubtedly, with no problem DENY this quote(QFD).

This is quite easily achievable through LuaCOB that means in a gadget.
In one way you could just make units order to attack thin air(can be done with a widget) or you could make all units aim their turret upwards as high as possible and shoot by giving parameters to COB(LUA->COB). With attack order units might stop or start turning around, with LUA->COB there wouldn't be such a problem.

i would wait doing that Luacob will be integrated in Luarules in 0.76b2

Quite wrong. LuaCob will be integrated into LuaRules in 0.76b2.

77b1, 76b2 is a backport of some fixes. Also LuaCOB doesn't make it any easier, you have to call a function in the COB and that can be done from LuaRules even in 76b1.

thats what i meant:P

[FrOzEnTaCo]

lol at this idea

[Evil4Zerggin]

You could just call a COB function from Lua that turns all aim-pieces upwards and emit-sfx's the weapons. Might take a lot of work to do it for all units, though, as you'd have to edit all the .bos files.

How about spawning a fake enemy target?

[jK]

even if there is a lua ceg command, LUPS was the right way to do it ...

[hunterw]

yea make it happen

flash shooting straight up ends up being pretty spectacular
