How to: Implement Terrain Modifier Bonuses

cool...

Removing the leaks would be great, as it takes just a few additional lines for the trigger, and it can stack up for quite a lag. Also, we don't want new people to mapmaking to create loads of leaks in their maps, now do we?

what

i dont get this thingy

To be added in version 2:
-Slow Terrain
-Miss
-Range Increase
-Range Decrease
-Cloudy

While technically possible, there is no efficient way to do those two..

Lol Kyles warrior. Ingenious job Oninuva. Im gonna have to rep you for this =P. I thought of a really funny way to reveal map areas once. i put dummy units like yours all around places iw anted to reveal. =P. I think the only drawback is that in larger maps, the units placed will incrase alot, and itll become a problem. I had an RPG and the UNIT cap got in my way cuz there were too many units. Other than that, awesome tutorial.

BTW the tutorial is really short.

Why not make the vision field larger.

nice tut...learned how to do this type of skill

Real nice tutorial. I'd always wondered how they did that, would never have though of dummies!

I have one or two queries, however.

If the map is really large, say 194x194, and you placed a lot of those dummy units in, would it cause lag due to lots of units in the game? And is there a limit to the amount of preplaced units you can have in a map? (I suppose you could just make more regions and then spawn them at the start but that would be a pain).

 

[Oninuva]

Well, You can make the aura range larger, so you would use less dummies. Yes, it would lag if you massed dummies. Massing anything may cause lag.

Bump.

No massing those dummy units won't lag , really it has no model , ect. Make sure it has no shadow

It leaks , make a unit group put all the dummys in it the destroy it.

 

[Oninuva]

Bump.

Just wondering, are you going to release V2?

 

[Oninuva]

From my "researching" v2 isn't really needed but any ideas of what you want to see?

Finishing it would be a good idea.
ATM you've left it as "To be added later".
Also remove the leaks as requested.
You could make this very good.
