An Act of War: Dozer Drop! [UPDATED!]

EvilViking · 05-16-2004, 10:41 PM

OK, I promised I'd tell you guys why I was making a superweapon that dropped Dozers, well, here ya go: In An Act of War (see sig

), the U.S. Dozers will not be built directly from the Command Center. Instead, you will buy the Dozer from the Command Center, and it will be airdropped in! Yes, I know it's been done before, but I've been trying to get this to work for a while, check it out!

UPDATE: Here you can see the new C-5 Galaxy by Pestilence, which drops your dozers, and also the MOAB. Nothing will freak your enemy out like having one of those babies fly over 30 seconds into the game! :lol:

Would anyone be interested in a tuturial?

EDIT: I also wanted to mention that the AI uses the new system perfectly, after some slight adjustments to SkirmishScripts.scb . It makes for a really cool effect!

Sure. Can the same approach be used for buying units at an airstrip and getting them paradropped in, like TD and Renegade?

Easily done in .scb, as the hard coded AI makes use of them if they are present..

so is that the new command center? i like it, both the dozer drop and the new command center.

Do you think you could make a tutorial, this could be helpful for my sigma invasion mod, the warfactory for one of the armys has the units "delivered" to it. Would it be posible to have it so that a dropship lands and leaves the unit?

Looks good, nice concept too. But what happens if the enemy shoots the plane down?

I would be interested in a tutorial, even thought I might be able to figure it out, but I was thingking of making some things for the US like certain vehicles to be bought at a pad and then droped once construction was complete.

the dozer goes bye bye

I think that the plane is created at "EDGE_NEAR_SOURCE". So you cant shot i down!
