Summoning RTS map ?Possible?

[Blood4u]

Hi there community earlier today an ideea strike to me about an mix of games that would have an nice outcome,so i started to google on the internet to fiind out a good rts engine that would support is.I am afraid to start on the Spring Engine because i do not know if it it's complelty doable,and since i am forced to learn how to use an engine from scracth(that means it will take ages before my project is complete) i want to learn one that allows my game to be fully doable.

What my game is about,in short terms combining Yu-GI-Oh( or any summoning card game) with Rts (such as AOM 2) within a certain regulations.

What i need to know if it's possible in the spring engine to : -1. have a Dynamic double UI(one bottom ui where you see your unit statistic and an upper modded UI where is the summoning field,your cards in your hand the enemy etc.,).By dinamic i reffer to the possibility to add different animations to the upper uI as in when the card is being drawn and u use a spell that affect only that specific UI why also taking effect in the middle of screen if you are above the certain area.
-2.Events allowing the continous action and movement of troops why also not allowing the playing of cards if it is not your turn but your enemies.


I want to know if the spring engine allows me to modifiy my map according to these parameters,if you didn't understand one of the 2 parameters please ask i really want to know if it is possible in this engine or any other triple A engine such as Unity.

Thx in advance.

All possible using lua/chili. But I'd suggest you start with something easier first.

I do realise it's gonna be super hard,but i want to work from the start on this project,what engine you think i should learn? Or to be more precise what coding language.Which do you think it's perfect for a new starter?

If you are looking for juniors first game, maybe something like gamemaker is more your speed.

What language? If you have to ask you don't really know.

What do we think is perfect for a new starter? We don't really know your background but considering the nature of this post. Why don't you download an existing spring project and modify it. learn how mutators work and make a mutator that adds a unit.

Seriously young man, start looking at the projects here. What you can do is entirely dependent on your actually skill and motivation. you know, I feel like I am repeating myself again.

read this thread or I don't know lurk more. Instead of just showing up all "here I am I have a great idea" why don't you kids spend some time here, try the different projects read the threads, ask questions in discussions. This attitude that you are going to show up and have everything presented day1 is frustrating and insulting.

Don't take this personally, you are not the first person to come here, over the years we have tried many different approaches to address guys like yourself. So I am trying the frank and direct approach. SPEND SOME TIME IN THE COMMUNITY before you ask for hand outs please!

I do not get why are you mad?Have you even read the first post.I did not show here with any kind of attitude i asked on the forums a simple question is this a good or not good engine to make the project.

I did not come for the hand outs my initial question was in regards to wheter to found my project here that's all i asked i did not ask for help regarding it and i did say it will take me ages to actaully complete the project,because i will probably have to do it alone so i have to learn how things go.But i just had to know if it's good to waste my time learning the spring engine and testing and lurking in the community or not and go to the unity community for example and learn their engine.

I am aware of the exceedingly high amount of people that come say they have an great ideea and start asking for handouts just cause they think they are awesome.

Please do not comment without actaully reading the entire post,not bits of part that make you angry.I do not think i have insulted anyone or frustrated,only yourself for some reasons I do not understand. I am here to try and found myself a project ,and to start learning more about game creating than i already know.

That's all.

No problem.

I have a weird recollection of this being attempted before. Maybe sunspots project??

Anywho, it sounds feasible, yes.

Advantage of Spring as opposed to Unity is that all the basic RTS concepts are either built-in or readily available.

I don't know of an RTS game/engine better suited to plopping a card-game over top of... totally doable because SpringRTS exposes all the hooks you need to do whatever you want over top of the game.

Ok guys thank you alot for all he answers,it seems i will start lurking the spring community afterall and hopefully i will be able to learn the ropes in a few or more months and actaully starting to make some viable things.

Thx again for all that helped with answers i hope to see you around .

I like your name, it sounds like a discount supermarket for low income vampires.
