[RESULTS POSTED] The Tower Contest - The 5th Iteration

[Galdiuz]

Can I use my own terrain? But same path for the creeps.

That should be fine. It is a tower contest after all, not a terrain contest.

Anyway, here's another WIP of me playing around.

 

[Romek]

Does anybody have any decent tower ideas by any chance?

 

[Galdiuz]

Are you saying my idea isn't even decent? <.<

 

[13lade619]

^ prism towers were done before (like RA2 lol)...but it's sort of less impressive nowadays.

 

[Galdiuz]

True, there we're prism towers in RA2, but my tower isn't a prism tower. =P

 

[13lade619]

i meant that i;ve seen 'connecting' towers on the last contest or so.

 

[Romek]

> Are you saying my idea isn't even decent? <.<
I meant an idea that I could use and code myself.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

AHahha. Smith_S9 should enter again. He had an awesome tower last time. So pretty <3

I never said I'm not entering .

And I have a pretty neat idea .

EDIT: Added WIP.

 

[kingkingyyk3]

I have done "Code and clear it all" for 3 times.
Newest idea :

 

[PurgeandFire]

My WIP, I just decided to make two bezier curves to curve into the target. I got it working to support multi-attacks. Once I switch to Z with dummy units though, ugh. It will be ugly, it is annoying to dummy recycle, since it usually ends up failing for me half the time.

^Single target.

^That is it for 3 targets.

Yeah, don't ask me about the name. =P

@ purge

i also figured out how to make horizontally arced projectiles a long time ago...
(at least from looking at other examples )

 

[Summoned]

Still messing around. May or may not think of something more creative. Protoss Colossus' Thermal Lance and a severely bastardized version of the Phoenix Graviton Beam.

Just to make sure someone makes a starcraft-themed tower or two.

Psionic Tower

Uses psychic forces as it's attack.

:thup:

 

[Weep]

Psionic Tower

Uh, wrong attachment? It's just the template map.

 

[Vestras]

Schlam. My submission.

 

[Weep]

Schlam. My submission.

I can get it to fire its lightning faster by spamming the "stop" button on the tower - you might want to fix that. A Backswing and Damage Point of 0 for the tower unit-type should do it.

 

[kingkingyyk3]

Schlam. My submission.
You should use Damage to detect attack damage instead of using UNIT_ATTACKED

 

[Weep]

For his purpose, attacked is fine if the tower has 0 backswing/damage point, which would prevent "stop" abuse.

 

[Romek]

Vestras, I remember a tower with almost identical effects being made in a previous tower contest.

 

[BlackRose]

Uh, wrong attachment? It's just the template map.

Exactly

The real tower name is:

Just Another Tower

Thanks for playing!
