[2024-8-28. : 5:48 am] 1nFectEd -- i was using the spawn on islands and moved. good idea to do a unit check to see if they can fit.[2024-8-28. : 5:31 am]  NudeRaider -- RoyRoy shouted: I believe he's referring to a well-known court case where Fox argued that their non-business segments are entertainment sections and not to be taken as factual information (McDougal v. Fox News Network, LLC). Thanks for the link. The pdf says it was specifically about "Fox News aired an episode of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” a talk show hosted by Tucker Carlson". So yeah, that's something else entirely. Too bad it was literally too funny to be true.[2024-8-28. : 5:24 am] NudeRaider -- 1nFectEd1nFectEd shouted: I am using islands around the map out of view to spawn a lot of different units and using "moves" . Sorry don't know how to tag nuderaider just click the little speech bubble next to the shout. the 'W' would be for whispering someone (invisible to others)[2024-8-28. : 2:26 am]  Ultraviolet -- Basically what Nude is suggesting is you have a little area, let's say a 9x9 square where you spawn enemy units for a certain player. When spawning units in that location, you want to have a condition that checks for how many units are there already, and only create the units if there's less than X amount of units (let's say 9-25, you can tweak that as needed based on what works). Then you have another trigger which moves units from the spawning location to the player's defensive area and orders them to move to the end place. This effectively prevents unit unplaceable errors because the condition checks for quantity of units in the spawning area and simply doesn't do anything if there are too many units there. Trying to move units to a location they can't be moved to doesn't create any real issues. To keep track of the units that have spawned, you'd probably have a DC like "unit spawn count" or something like that which subtracts only when units are created (not moved). Hope that makes sense, lmk if you have[2024-8-28. : 2:13 am] Ultraviolet -- 1nFectEd1nFectEd shouted: I am using islands around the map out of view to spawn a lot of different units and using "moves" . Sorry don't know how to tag nuderaider Yeah the shoutbox isn't the most technically advanced space.[2024-8-28. : 1:01 am] 1nFectEd -- I am using islands around the map out of view to spawn a lot of different units and using "moves" .

(link doesn't work for me)[2024-8-27. : 2:08 pm] Zoan -- Oh_ManOh_Man shouted: lol the ending cutscene he ran out of strings so he just tells the player to "make up the rest of the lines" as the cutscene keeps going now without any text that's pretty boss lol[2024-8-27. : 1:49 pm] dumbducky -- Pervert alert. @RepWeiner is back on twitter.

Doing everything I can to eliminate the possibility of unit unplaceable error have a dedicated spawning area away from the action. Once created you move the units to the battlefield. Only spawn if the spawning area is clear. That way you never get unplaceable errors. At most delayed spawning, until all units could be moved.[2024-8-27. : 3:28 am] 1nFectEd -- Don't look like critters have the same patching issues and once they reach the mission fail zone they get deleted so they shouldn't have a chance to wonder[2024-8-27. : 3:14 am] 1nFectEd -- I was close to being done but I don't like the fatty units and I'm going to have to switch all the fat runners with critters and a brooding.

I'm working on a new lurker defense and players can spam rounds as fast and as many as they want. And boss rounds on top of that. I've spammed as one player and had over 400 runners just on my island[2024-8-26. : 7:29 pm] Ultraviolet -- ZoanZoan shouted: oh ultraviolet, you're from MN too?

My goal is to get locations that follow a unit but offset in 2-4 of the directions from the unit[2024-8-24. : 1:46 pm] Ultraviolet -- Oh yeah, that is a good point. Although you can somewhat (imperfectly) circumvent that with a save code system[2024-8-23. : 9:59 pm] Ultraviolet -- Given how easy EUDs are to implement these days, there's not a ton of reason to avoid them unless you're super attached to being able to increase the unit limit[2024-8-23. : 9:58 pm] Ultraviolet -- 1nFectEd1nFectEd shouted: cant seem to find a section on non-EUD effects i can try with just scmd2. any advice? Mostly it's just killing units to use their death animation as an effect. There's also some neat things you can do with certain sprites, like the psi field one can be good for making things look underwater. Disable doodad state on certain structures can produce interesting effects, like beacons will still show their glow when disabled, but not the rest of the beacon. Or burning buildings will still show their flame. Sometimes death effects can be stacked if you use an air unit and a ground unit, like a wraith and a rhynadon placed on the same location and killed at the same time will produce a red explosion with a green aura around it.[2024-8-23. : 6:22 pm] Oh_Man -- i just uploaded like 20k maps onto bounding dot net; anyone wanna try and beat that?[2024-8-23. : 10:28 am] NudeRaider -- not sure what you mean with "try effects" but if you have specific questions about how to do something you can ask in UMS Assistance. Just specify you don't want to use EUDs.[2024-8-23. : 8:29 am] 1nFectEd -- cant seem to find a section on non-EUD effects i can try with just scmd2. any advice?[2024-8-21. : 3:03 pm] dumbducky -- ZoanZoan shouted: Oh_Man my wife is also preggo, due in march O: Boy or girl?[2024-8-20. : 12:21 am] Ultraviolet -- lil-Infernolil-Inferno shouted: I'm not having a kid because Ultraviolet's mom is post-menopausal thank god for that, doing the world a big favor[2024-8-19. : 2:44 pm] NudeRaider -- ... and thus the era of infernos ends because of his unfortunate fixation on older women[2024-8-19. : 2:42 pm] lil-Inferno -- I'm not having a kid because Ultraviolet's mom is post-menopausal[2024-8-18. : 6:31 pm] NudeRaider -- VraelVrael shouted: He practices a special kind of intercourse where the weiner stays outside of the vajayjay and just shoots the jizz over to it oh  np. go ahead then, and good aim! |
