It is very impressive that he managed to accomplish all that all by himself...
Can anyone provide a compiled version on fileuniverse or something?

If map features supported animation it would be pretty easy to do.
2D animations would look like trash in a 3D engine. Giving features scripts and animating 3D objects wouldn't look much better. Giving features scripts and giving all scripts access to the particle engine in game... Well, maybe then we can talk

I don't know, I've seen sprites immitating things in a 3D sense, and being pulled off quite well. The sprite soldiers in the Shogun and Medieval total war battles, for example. It can be done and pulled off quite well, when enough care goes into the sprites.

Mwha, I say give features scripts, that at least gives mapmakers a GAIA player, for example you could script a plant feature to eat units nearby, or traps..... And sub-AI behaviours in the engine are enough to drive any mobile untis to attack the player when in LOS.

As it stands is it only features that can be used as features or could you make a map and use AK's or peewees as features? If so do they mvoe ro are they living statues?

Let me see if this code snippet from the engine helps:
Code: Select all
std::vector<string> files=CFileHandler::FindFiles("features\\corpses\\*.tdf");
std::vector<string> files2=CFileHandler::FindFiles("features\\All Worlds\\*.tdf");
(At the moment only features can be features)

yeah, letting us add units to maps would let us make booby traps and such stuff

Or bridges? A variation on zwzsg bridge made for spring, maybe just edited to look like a map feature, one that doesnt fold etc...

I'd need some way to know the unit ID range before using my
bridge script on a larger than experimental scale.
And features you can walk over would feel much more natural than my conveyor belt script.

Couldnt you set a transport to repeat, with load and unload areas, hence making a 'bridge' without having to check through all the ids?

yes thats possible, I do it all the time since someone showed me

Yeah true, I should stop re-using TA tricks and consider all that Spring has to offer.
