Spring RTS Engine

Anarchid wrote: Making units walk on other units is impossible afaik

Hrmm,

Is there no way to remove unit collision? Or reduce the collision to a very small value so it wouldnt be noticeable?

As i've said I am new to spring, and I dont know much about the engine. All the help is very appreciated.

Yes, there is an unitdef tag just for that. However, with the voidwater/terraforming approach, you won't really need that. Besides, using bridges made of units that are actual units (not placeholders for terraforming, which reverse-terraform on death) will definitely screw a lot more with pathing, which already isn't glorious.

See the "bridge" unit inside that mod.

Scrooeh the bridges, but i'll absolutely be stealing the flying-factories-thingy for Metropolis!

I like this idea, and may have a surplus of modelling time in about a fortnight.

Ive always wanted to make a mini-mod which is all about terraforming. You play it on a special acid map (or just lua deadly water) and have to use terraforming as well as terraform guns and perhaps impulse weapons (ala CA newton) for more physics fun to knock the enemies walls down and push them into the acid water. Lots of static weaponry/artillery and nanotowers and deflection shields and all sorts of physics zaniness.

A bit of a divergence but sort of similiar.
