Yap yep yip yop yup!
I've worked on this after Lethal_Illusion told me about how to "solve" my problem with the vHP.

This permit to control the damages done by monsters on you. The basic vHP system only allows you to detect when a vHP unit got killed under your heroe and substract some damage, though you CANNOT differentiate if the monster that killed that vHP attacks of 100 or of 10 000, which is where this comes in.

The idea of this is to use one computer per damage per area.
For example, in area 1, cpu player 6 is dealing 1 damage/hit, p7: 2, p8:3.
In the area 2, p6:3, p7:4, p8:5.
This is very wise and I'd like to thanks Lethal for his idea ^^


P.S. : Pigy_G is just a useless unit that can take up to 10 hits since he can serve as a meatshield. He is left behind when you pass from area 1 to area 2 and when you'll have finished the map, a little movie about "what happens to Pigy_G left behind" pops-up ^^
P.S. 2: You must clear the area 1 before teleporting to the area 2 and you must clear area 2 before watching the movie :P

Here's the test map (new version, the other one was making Pigy_G way too annoying :P but still, the movie doesn't work :( Could someone please try to fix it? That would be really appreciated :D)
[Add 7 hits to the actual count to know how many people have tried it (just for you to know :P)]

No comments/Feedbacks? :O
This is the 4th version, I fixed a little error that was making the file bigger. Still, I couldn't find why the movie do not work... Maybe wait blocks, I dunno. I tried to move the hyper triggers to the Player 3 which should have solved it but I haven't reached the end with this version :P Someone tell me? :D
Anyways, what you think of the concept, the movie at the end, etc...
And yes, I didn't care about aesthetics so the texts are plane ^^

WTF? How long does it take to kill a hydralisk? I attacked it like 10 times and it still didn't die!



None.

Hydralisks are okay :P
They have 1 hp and 0 armor and the ghost's attack is of 1, but the type of attack of the ghost makes his attack ineffective against medium units or something like that so it takes more shots ^^
Have you reached the end? :D



None.

It's alright...
You can completely evade any of the goon shots, and some of the hydralisk shots. I didn't make it to the end. Not enough HP.
It takes 5 consecutive shots to kill a hydralisk.



None.

Have you tried to kill an ultra alone? ;P
And it is possible to reach the end with the HP I gave; I've beaten my map 3 times ^^



None.

Yeah, I've noticed it, but it raised a couple of relevant questions and kept the ad to the signature so if someone were to engage with the topic it could be a net positive which is why I kept it. We're not necessarily anti-bot, just anti-spam. Thanks to Symmetry who realized my hope. :)
