maybe i should'nt ask anymore questions if this is going to be how were treated for it when i thought the forums were here for that reason.
oh well i ddont know buddy.

Oh, for god's sake, can't you just let that go? Don't act the victim in all this, nobody is going to feel guilty for pointing out the facts.

[scoobasnacks]

where in my post did i ask anyone to feel sorry or guilty for me?
i dont see that, and another i was talking to smokey around when that was happening so please grow up and you drop it you are now carrying it to a dumb level.
and trust me i will not respond to you again i think you and the other 3 must get off on harrassing people over something so lame.

They were dropped due to issues with pathfinding and it's impossible to restore them to they way they are in other CNC games where you still pay for the wall with linebuild and the dozer builds all the pieces placed when line building.

[scoobasnacks]

yeah that is what smokey was saying but he did get his to work he was telling me how he did it, but i have'nt got to do it yet, been so busy...
but thanks for the info, vanguard... :O

Vanguard is right, not only the pathfinding sucks...the walls made the dumb AI even dumber.

Ummm that qualifys as a Pathfinding issue Yayo, they can't find their way around it, oh and no Smokey didn't get them to work the way they once were, it just isn't possible without hacking the dat file, and you can't do that and still have the game working.

I know ... old topic, but I was merely curious as to how the AI units handle the addition of walls? Do they just sit there and do nothing ... or will the AI attack the wall until it is destroyed?

Quickie idea: Can you make a small section as a building, then give it the ability to build or spawn another section next to it, which can be a seperate object and be able do the same? (Of course the new section would have to be different as you don't want it to be the same as the first and be able to make a new one in the same spot as the previous one.)

Basically, it could be used by the player like this:

A contruction unit can build a hub type wall piece.

Then the post itself can build sections as upgrades, one per four or more sides.

A produced section can build either one section in the following direction or another hub.

My question is: can a building build or spawn another building in a certain location without the spawned object being a child? Basically not behaving like Overlord contain where the spawned object is not a sub-object?


Oh, I just thought of another thing: How about a long, skinny, flat structure that basically spawns immobile units that act as pieces of a wall?

The building itself can't be targetted by an enemy or be an obstruction, perhaps to keep pathfinding working properly.

I'm thinking along the lines of the way an airfield or stinger site can hold units.

Well thinimus, i guess you can sort of use the overlord logic.... but have the bones to the side of the wall... and have 2 upgrades; Build Wall left, and/or Build Wall Right

[Ambershee]

Does overlord logic actually work on buildings? I don't think it does.
