Some of those may already have been suggested.

*Make it possible to make units that can change their moving types (like a kbot that can take off and fly like aircraft).
*Make it possible to make mobile metal extractors.
*Make it possible for units to envolve.
*Make it possible to make weapons that cause negative damage.
*Make it possible to make more commanders.
*Make a "mission maker" program.

Thanks for reading and studing those suggestions

The last two are already implemented, the rest are already MTR.

MTR

manored wrote:*Make it possible to make mobile metal extractors.

MTR. Been done, is glitchy. Needs fixing.

manored wrote:*Make it possible for units to envolve.

Envolve? Do you mean evolve? As in upgrade over time? MTR

manored wrote:*Make it possible to make weapons that cause negative damage.

Uh... why? Why would we need this, realisticly?

manored wrote:*Make it possible to make more commanders.

Been done. It's simply telling the factory it can build commanders. NOT a good idea to play with commander ends on, because if you loose 1, you loose completely.

manored wrote:*Make a "mission maker" program.

Missions are MTR. Map maker works already. Needs LUA.

I recall seeing code to count commanders when sharing/creating/.taking/capturing/destroying them, so I think spring should handle this fine: you'll only loose once you've lost all your commanders.

With com ends you have to kill all commanders.

Im not sure about where to use negative damage but it would be good to be able to use it somewhere

. A engine like spring must be the most fexible it can.

Those 2 would be possible if we could spawn units from the script, i guess

(killing the present unit and spawning the new one you want)

Maybe healers? Of course things would have to be arranged so we could target friendly units (that is possible with cannons by not adding a specific tag into the weapon, as it is now).

Well, I could use negative damage quite a lot...

Argh · Post by **Argh** » 22 Dec 2006, 09:53

Negative damage = heal friendlies. Would be extremely useful, if it just heals friendlies- the inverse of CollideFriendly, basically. Any mod that wants to portray "magic" needs healing.

Strategia · Post by **Strategia** » 22 Dec 2006, 12:02

Negative damage = repair nanolathe. It's already possible to have units with nanolathes that are only capable of repairing, not of constructing; see Final Frontier's Repair units as an example.

(and, btw, what does MTR mean?)

Argh · Post by **Argh** » 22 Dec 2006, 12:44

Repair nanolathe will not work over areas. It cannot be automated, made random, or made to act separately of the CAI unit-level AI. It's not even slightly equivalent.

Monthly Topic Rotation. The fact these suggestions tend to come up at least once a month.

PauloMorfeo · Post by **PauloMorfeo** » 23 Dec 2006, 04:51

Add 'What is "MTR" ' to the MTR list, hahaha

manored · Post by **manored** » 23 Dec 2006, 15:07

Tough of another thing: make weapons that can be lauched from underwater to the land or sky. (It may already be but I never saw one so...)

Guessmyname · Post by **Guessmyname** » 23 Dec 2006, 17:51

already possible (EE missile subs!)

Maelstrom · Post by **Maelstrom** » 24 Dec 2006, 02:37

That underwater missle thing in EE is a hack though if I remember. They have a part of the sub model look like a missile that moves through the water, then when it surfaces, the sub fires the missle from ABOVE the water. It works, but its a workaround.

j5mello · Post by **j5mello** » 24 Dec 2006, 05:22

malestrom is correct its a visual trick one that that teh Whale uses in TLL as well. what we want is real water launched weapons like the cruise missiles on Seawolf class subs.

More ideas:

*Make it possible to lend things to other players, I mean, they become from him but after a pre determined time they and everthing they made (except metal and energy) become yours again.
*Make it possible to make units with multiple damageable parts (the unit can, for example, become unable to walk if its legs are destroyed).
*Make it possible to make units wich efficiency can be linked to its health (I mean, if the unit is damaged it will not perform so well as if it was perfect).
*Make it possible to give builders building priortys so, if you have stall, the builders with lower priorty will have their share of energy and metal reduced until the higher priorty builders can build at max speed again.
*Make it possible to add/remove/edit/ resources (What I mean is being able to add another resource beside metal and energy and chose how he is gathered).
*Make it possible to have diferent reclaiming animations depending of what is being reclaimed.
*Make it possible to add buttons to the orders window and chose what they do (With also the ability of only having certain buttons with certain units).
