AVIATOR WARZ / unit-item-terrain editors needed (plz help)

[guitarplay]

ok, but i think the differneces between rockets are kinda important. They will not seek them, and i think they should be done like an ability.

A rocket is created, that works like its own unit. It is fired, and goes aiming for its target, but if the target moves enough, the rocket misses, and keeps going till it hits something.

heat seaking, slower, but they will actualy follow the other ship. but, if the ship goes behind something, it is safe, because the missile hits the thing in front of it.

 

[AgentPaper]

yes, rockets will work differently, but i was thinking rockets-homing, less damage, more and missles - not homing, more damage, faster. and what are we doing next then?

 

[guitarplay]

whel, is the map so far, up to date with units, weapons, movment and attack, is the first question.

That is our first priority, and then, we sould work on adding the other weapons, other planes, and i havent got a chance to work on the airplanes yet because im working on something else.

Terrain!!!, its not verry intersting sry to say

i like how the islands are set up, but it hink it should be a big map, and have space behind. Also have it like surrounded by land (not compleetly, but make it like a big lake almost, with some rivers flowing off)

the training camp might be nice. . . but its not necesary. Also i would like an island in the canter, and if there is a way to make some nice looking thick clouds, put them over the island



sry id be doing more, but school is starting to get into sesion. I had homecomming saturday, out most of sunday, and i have a paper due Wednesday (had a test today i forgot about yikes!!).

enough about schhol, il work on weeksends whenver i get the chance, or inbetween gomework

Also, the turret things, were like in some aircrafts, when they are low to the ground, they can shoot out of the sides of the aircraft, with large gattling gun, or something. Very effective against ground units. (Or buildings)

Maybe for base abilities...

Rocket (Non-Homing)
    Shockwave (Change the missile art)
Homing Rocket
    Shadow Strike (Can have duration damage, for the fire in the ship), or the paladin's hammer throw attack
Bombs
    Cluster Rockets (Or a dummy ability, where a bomb-like unit is created, goes down, and then when it gets to 0 height, explodes), or WarStomp.

For clouds, maybe the freezing breath ability's effect on the towers; make it into a doodad, and just create them randomly (Or a unit if you wanted them to move).
These ones would only be able to shoot in front of you, because that's all you would be able to see, and target.

ok, good ideas for the weapons btw, but im wondering DarthFett if you wanted maby, to do some unit editing, and making different custom planes, and stuff. Also terrain needs work

 

[Darthfett]

Yeah, I will do that soon. But first, we will need the basic stuff, so that you can at least play it for first 5 minutes, until you need a new ship. There won't be any point of having better ships, if the flying thing, and the weapons aren't any good.

About the flying thing, there are a few glitches:
-Camera locks to practically random point when ship dies
-You cannot use your pilot, or your ship, after it dies.
-Camera is kind of bad looking (you may just want to try the regular camera for now)
-If you leave tile, you die (unless you go off the off-ramp) Should probably just not be able to take off.

 

[guitarplay]

u know, the camera is kinda cool, but it does get annoying. It makes it so that when you turning, you cant realy see where your going, and a lot of things arnt in your veiw.

 

[AgentPaper]

well thats realistic though, maybe i should make it so you can turn your "head" some and look different ways? And for the off-road, I'll probably make it have a deceleration that keeps it real slow.

Ok, ill get started now i guess.

-Edit-
What do u mean by "one is not being able to lands. Another is the healing place is a little messed up"? Lands as in being able to ground (touch the ground and drop of the pilot, and what healing place? and how is it messed up? I have the vote u wanted done.

 

[guitarplay]

test the map, and the barricade things are heal space. Try it out, youl see whats wrong, and the landing as id like there to be a button appear when the ship goes over the runway saying land or takeoff, depending on if it has or has not taken off (check the earlier versions of the map there is something like it allready i think)

and also, and emergency landing thing, so that in case something goes wrong, they can do emergency landing, and either hit watter and die, or hit grass and get stranded w/o plane or a damaged plane. btw il do the model importing and il do all the trigger tansfers into my new map i made.

ty for the help

 

[mase]

Sry, i couldnt do much, im now grounded from my comp (which means i can only get on it like for 15 mins max which will allow me to do nothing execpt TH...) for a week... i got the vote u wanted done, and the healing thing (i think), but i didnt have enought time for the other stuff...
