Script

I was thinking if were going to use the team ball thing from Nanoblobs, why not have it be a team "brick?" A brick the color of your team above your units like the spheres in Nanoblobs

Is it vaguely possible to make stackable features?

Sheekel · Post by **Sheekel** » 09 Sep 2006, 03:10

I dont know much of anything about features.

Snipawolf · Post by **Snipawolf** » 09 Sep 2006, 03:19

Features... Ehh, depends, Spring engine doesn't have a big point on special effects..

Besides that I haven't even got a little bit past the unit scripting part XD

Sheekel · Post by **Sheekel** » 09 Sep 2006, 03:52

I'm already well on the way with scripting. I have the following units redone:

MAG:

Commander
Construction Man
Extractor
Energy plant
Radar
Metal Storage
Lvl1 Factory
Several infantry men

Now, does anyone know how to make a yardmap? The wiki just says "ooo oxxcococo" or something like that, and gives a definition, but doesnt tell you how to properly make one.

Another example of MAG's insane engineering. Notice the body of the mech.

Maelstrom · Post by **Maelstrom** » 09 Sep 2006, 05:41

Oh god yes. That mech owns. EXACTLY what MAG should look like. Nice work!

I'm not sure but i think a kbot lab is like this:
XXX
XOX
XOX

Where O is the area where units can walk. So remove the linebreaks and
you get

XXXXOXXOX

You can open the existing mods and look at their factories (units).

There is a nice a descriptive bit in the wiki about yardmaps, I just can't remember where I found it...

Hmm, ive got an interesting problem with the Dragons teeth aka BLOCKade.

When i start constructing it, everything goes normally. It is displayed and built and everything. But once the building is complete, it instantly disappears. Not just the model, but the whole thing. I cant select it, i cant see it, i can walk through where it was supposed to be.

I've been through all the files, and nothing seems wrong

[edit] Ive figured out that removing the "IsFeature=1" tag in the FBI file fixes the problem, but then it acts as a normal unit.

I've seen a weird bug before where the builder would instantly reclaim a DT after finishing it...if this happened with a unit that didn't use a build anim, it would look instant...

Aun · Post by **Aun** » 09 Sep 2006, 21:15

You made a feature using the same model... right?

Sheekel · Post by **Sheekel** » 09 Sep 2006, 21:30

yes, i think so

[BSOD][KoBS]Demon made some great Logos, check them out:

I like em both.

They're quite good.

I'm currently modelling a lvl 2 bomber (not sure which faction). Once I'm done that, I'm making a spider vehicle with vertical launch rockets.

The one for MAG looks like a pokeball XD
