Also I cant place an AK ontop of a large building with a large surface
Thus all Platform ideas are made useless unless you want to take the path zwzsg took for his bridge and loose all ability to build on the platform. Things such as HLT ontop fo other buildings etc also become impossible without making them buildable in the way the nanotower was in AA. We cant place features as bridges either.

Just out of curiousity, will there be building queue limits? Perhaps an ability for buildings to maintain constant production of units - i.e., unlimited.
And if so, could command scripts be issued by a user; for example, I want to build an unlimited pattern of units. Could we use a recursive function?
FUNCTION USER SCRIPT
if building = KBOT CONSTRUCTION
while RESOURCES AVAILABLE
BEGIN CONSTRUCTION kbot
BEGIN CONSTRUCTION construction bot
DO USER SCRIPT
end while
endif
end function
Or something.

a more effective solution would be
Code: Select all
FIDOZEUSLAB{
loop('infinite'(
build( fido, Zeus)then(take(script1));
if (res<resmax*0.75) then sleep till resmax==res;
)
}
where script1 is a list of commands the user has set as specified in the command queuing panel suggestion I had.
and so on. Maybe thsi itself could be a command queue called by a constructio Kbot when it bulds a kbot plant such as:
Code: Select all
OnBuildFin(string unitID){
If (type(UnitID) = "factory") (
give(FIDOZEUSLAB);
}
And thus I am given an idea for TAI.

Excuse me? No, I've never programmed in either C or VB, thank you very much.
I do web based programming, with PHP and other languages.

You might as well use my info... (see the 0.1 impression thread)
Btw, infinite queues work. Just switch repeat on and queue some units. They'll be building forever.

How complicated is it? Can I build an infinite cycle of 5 slashers, 5 flashes and a construction unit, or only infinite slashers?

I'll quote the gui tooltip on that:
"With this on the unit constantly pushes its completed orders to the end of the queue"
So, it can be as complicated as you want, with any combination of building, shooting, and moving.

I updated the request list with the info Sean and Redfish provided. Thanks guys!
I really like what you said about aircraft controlling more like real planes, moving in wide arcs across the sky. Aircraft were too powerful in OTA because of their stellar movement, turn rate, and accelleration. Hopefully now they're been made more balanced, ask they will probably take more damage if they have to fly in an arc over enemy forces.

You misunderstood... Among all the bugs and missing features reported in the present Spring engine, these features seem so strife.

... Doesn't mean they have no place.
(urgh... Can't believe I just defended some of the very silly suggestions contained herein...

They are requests not demands and should be treated as such, anything else is a matter of opinion and that is not what this thread is for.
