Would there be some use in having a demo TD around?

Just the basics, creating the waves, counting lives...

Obviously unprotected. And in GUI.
As an added bonus, it uses the Object Editor to keep the list of Creeps instead of some huge unmaintainable array...

Actually, the entire "wave" thing is three triggers only.
One to create and send them.
A one-liner for the routing in the center.
And a trigger to count leaks.


The triggers are commented.
But, of course, if there's some interest, I could describe all of it...


Well, have a look:

Great job, Ace!
The terrain was great. :p
This should probably go somewhere, but I don't know where would be best....

The current best place is probably here.

Until... something that will come soon or so.

> this will be a TD template?

Maybe.
Depends on comments and general interest. Needs, wishes, ...


> The terrain was great.

2-P will cry when s?he|it sees it...

Maybe make an icy and grassy version? Just change tileset, and then change doodads by manually.

You can do that yourself can't you?
Whoever will use this is obviously going to have to change it ^^

I don't know if this was a feature but, if you build a tower on top of another tower or a place where the tower can't be built, the other towers will move out of their place and the new tower will be built. :p

A few things:
1) First few waves are too hard.
2) Air waves = insta-your-dead.
3) The little spiders that spawned killed all my towers.
4) Make it so that creeps only spawn for the players that are in the game?
5) Maybe a leak message?
6) A "Next wave in..." timer window too?

That's all I can think of for now,
Just some suggestions since I didn't see any from the replies ;) !

EDIT: Sorry if I wasn't supposed to "bump" such an old thread, didn't see the last replies date until after I posted.

a bit of help

i know this is an old thread but a bit of help would be great, i am using your triggers, and i have set up somewhat like Elemental TD 6 boxes rather then how you had creeps run to the center and go their own path, took me a while but i got the creeps to run from start to finish, here is the funny thing how pick what creeps are sent, i just set it up and ran the map and it got the creeps all on its own.

in a nut shell:
using your script how would i pick or "know" the creeps its sending

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    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
