I'm working on a Sortof S/W that works like a paradrop. Except it drops invisable immune units that act like spys on only a powerplant. But I can't find out how to trigger the spys powerdown weapon and I don't know how to limit it to only the power plant. Any Ideals or should I go back to units? Plus I want these units to die before the powerdown is over I don't want them to NEVER have power because unused powerdwnunits are attacking over and over. Or will they all attack untill they are gone? even if power is down..cause that works to.

If you didn't get it yet: This is rather impossible, since you'd have to modify the game's engine itself in order to re-code the spy-logic. The dying, however, could be made with damaging anims. And I don't quite get the last statement...

P.S.: Sorry about the weirdness of this message, but it's almost 4 AM in the morning, and I'm slowly losing my conciousness...

Ren If I get this to work... Your going to eat your words. Any one have any Helpfull Ideals?

[Kravvitz]

lol :lol: @ Ren's post

I'm afraid, daasidar, that this isn't possible.

You could use the power toggle, but that gives an unfair advantage.

[daasidar]

Rens post is funny True but could I make a realy fast invisable, Immune Spy and limit its target to powerplants . Then make it spwn from a biulding?

[Kravvitz]

unless it was controlled bt the AI, I'm fairly sure that you would have to switch the armor types around so that only power plants used a certain one.

I'm going to bed now, good night.

*sigh*

I'm rather sure this wouldn't work anyway, since "spying" is a function, a logic - not a weapon. Following your thinking, the engineer couldn't enter anything, 'cause it has no weapon...

was this in response to my post?

Mostly to daasidar, but also to you, yes. Why? You don't agree?

[daasidar]

But it's coming from a paradrop. So it won't have to be a weapon. Its just an invisable immune spy who only goes to powerplants. Can that be done?
