Fortress Survival

[HydraRancher]

Hello Helper!

After a failed search I've come to ask how the wall system in Fortress Survival was concocted.

As we all know, in many survival games, there is the common issue of the invaders targetting the defenders BEHIND the walls. The solution around this is generally accepted: giving it an attack.

However, after playing Fortress Survival again after many years, it looks like the walls will be targetted even without an attack. How did they manage this?

this is not true, you can try to place a wall and a tower next to each other, and see what will happen.

Have you seen what will happen? Or is it an illusion that the attackers are destroying my walls?

 

[HydraRancher]

Bump.

Give the walls thorns? Idk...

Untested thoughts:
Give it an attack but choose to not show the attack UI? (It's an option in the Unit Editor.)
Give it something like immolation?
Give it Ward classification? (The AI always seems to target Serpent Wards immediately...)

That could work, but then again, supposed there were units that could exit the fort, then wouldn't the units prefer to attack the towers?

Also question, if I order a unit to attack move to a point in which its route is blocked by a wall. Will it target the wall? Or tower?

Because that's my current movement system, attack move, so i'm not sure if it would work.

 

[HydraRancher]

Bump.

What about 99999999 acquisition range? That's what I'm trying right now.

I think thats what Fortress Survival might use, either that or the units are attack ordered to the spot where players are.

 

[HydraRancher]

That's what I've been using most of the time, but I'm not sure if it works 100% of the time.

I think do like Weep said, give wall attack ability or immolation. It will attract the monster nearby.

I don't think the makers are around anymore, if they are you could ask for an unprotected version (without triggers.)

Or you could deprotect it and look at the object editor. It's unsupported here but who cares.

If you can't resolve your problem and really need it, PM me with a link and I'll do it for you.

Fortress Survival uses neither of these.


As of now, I'm still using the attack move option. But occasionally, when it attack-moves onto higher ground, the unit can't register a direct path.

Perhaps it only worked in FS because it was all flat?

 

[NeuroToxin]

Thats probably true, you could either A, Disable fog of war, or B, disable fog and black mask.

 

[HydraRancher]

Yeah okay, I think the problem is simpley height.
