> What if our map has various towers?

You mean more than one type of tower? Pick one to be graded. You may only submit one. You can have a set of towers that work in tandem, but they have to be almost exactly the same.

I suppose that ghan would count it to your score, if the towers affected the others some how.

EDIT: I hope it does, im making a tower(s) to associate with the school. I.E Granary = Cafeteria to help student's attention in class thefore increasing damage. Things like that

ok here it is
The Deep Freezer

So the basic idea is that you have a tower that freezes enemy creeps so that
they turn into statues of ice that, in turn, block other creeps from making it to the end of the path

This would be a low-medium to medium end tower that isn't really all that good by itself, but its fast attack speed almost guarantees a kill by it (which is what creates the statue)

Anyway, hope it meets approval

Count me in, but I only have tonight and tomorrow to work on it, so mine might be a bit rushed. However, I think my idea will be able to combat with other's ideas!

I think the tower might be over powered, if you make enough you can freeze all of the creeps, then win. Maybe add a food limit?

Ah, but the duration of the statues is easy to change. Problem solved. :p

Ah, question, if I have the upgrades, would I make a research center, or in the tower it self? And for my school, would 57 dmg and 0.49 cooldown be to strong against air?

That's up to you. However you want the tower to be.

Also up to you. I don't know what would be 'good' and what would be 'bad'.

Yes, the ice statues die off pretty rapidly (30 secs in this vers) and you can easily change that to suit your fancy. Also, you have to remember that the only way the units freeze if if the killing unit is the Deep Freezer, and since it doesn't really dish out THAT much damage it becomes obsolete and not very effective in later levels.

Also recognize that in a lot of TD's there is no "sunken" path, so the creeps would always be able to make it, even if they had to walk outside the cobblestone path.

I think this tower offers a lot of strategic possibility

But compared to mine, your tower is junk

Thanks for the compliment....?
anyway a "good" from Tinki3, I'll take that as a compliment
a lot of the stuff I attempt now is based on knowledge gained from looking at your spells from back in the day

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
