Somebody shoehorned in a spells-like feature

[carbon]

Apparantly somebody figured out how to make it seem like Spring is capable of spell-like attacks. I am sure this is just a modification of the current attack/weapons code, but is is cool nonetheless. Now what would really be cool is if there were spells that could modify unit stats on the fly, i.e. armour spells, immobilization spells, etc. I found this in a recent post on Youtube:

P.S. Sorry for the hackish link... the forum police would have denied my post otherwise.

Ah, thx for the link. My search for "spells" on the forum didn't turn that up. Guess I should have searched for "spell".

Interested modders can do similar things, and are free to use the source I provided as a template if they want. The problem is that gameplay of a usual spring mod needs to redesigned to make spells fit; what I posted is more 'you can do this without much trouble' rather than 'this will work in real player vs player games' :)
