Anti-Gaia

[Argh]

As I said in my brief remarks about World Builder... I would like to do more work on "automated animals"... and I would like to maybe look into doing a "simulated ecosystem" for more interesting interactions, to make World Builder worlds look and feel even more interesting.

Sooooo... I was thinking that having an Anti-Gaia Team might be useful. Anti-Gaia could be set to Neutral, just like Gaia, but would still attack Gaia, and the inverse.

Just a crazy idea... I'm working on converting old NanoBlobs models to become "old security drones" and "military robots" that could be... I dunno... going haywire, or something... providing a "barbarian"-like experience on World Builder maps...

Multiple gaia teams is something I could get behind, preferrably also with switches on who they are allied/hostile with.

[Argh]

Yeah, and if those switches could be hit by Lua... that could be really useful.

I asked trepan in the past and the answer was a solid no.


That being said +1 to kdr's post.

Aye, same here.

One could argue with enough supporting code no engine specific antiGaia would be required to implement this

Aye, same here.

And since the engine doesn't need Gaia to be a fixed ally team ID anyways, this should be trivial to add right?
