Tactical Defense


Just an idea I had been toying with and finnaly decided to make it happen!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Concept
The idea is to create a pvp style defense, where you can upgrade, and build up a "wave" to use against your enemy.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Features
8 Human Player
Player 9 Comp
Player 10 Comp


-Defense Unit Spawn Menu
-Offense Unit Spawn Menu
-Money System
-Upgrade System (allows more advanced units to be spawned)
-Wave Hold (until wave is launched the units are stored here)
-Cool Looking Terrain Title :lol:



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Defense Units
Name | Cost | Requirements

Ghost 1

Marine 2

Goliath 5 Requires: Mechanical Research

SCV 10 Requires: Engineering, Mechanical Research

Dragoon 5 Requires: Cybernetics

High Templar 25 Requires: Cybernetics, Electric Weaponry

Archon 15 Requires: Cybernetics, Electric Weaonry

Hydralisk 10 Requires: Genetic Research

Infested Kerrigan 40 Requires: Genetic Research, Biological Weaponry, Electric Weaponry



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To Do:
-Build Defense Spawn Menu (Working On)
-Build Offense Spawn Menu
-Build Wave Hold
-Money System
-Basically all Triggers


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've played several Defense maps that use the same concept (and quite a few of those features you listed). The wave hold sounds pretty cool though, so I hope this map turns out well.

so its kinda like tug-o-war,u should make it like u have 2 minutes or whatever to build a defense with like sunks or cannons or something to defend their base so its not exactly like a tug-o-war map

2 minutes? thats a bit too short isnt it? besides, on your map death on the defence area theres a line in the middle, is that so team 1 cant goto to team 2 and team 2 cant goto team 1? A good idea to have is that, if you havent made it already, to have like the ability to get heroes or something. Like in the holding area 2 marines= a jimmy for like 50 minerals or something. Just like a little square in the holding that does that would be nice.

there is no timed thing dudes...its all rts.

i will consider that marine, nice idea.

Nov 17 2007, 10:00 pm Marine Post #15



why thank you =) its a nice map so far. :D Maybe you should make it for all the basic ground units for zerg terran and toss ..? :dontgetit: cuz air would seem alittle unfair... and maybe put the cost of the basic unit to make the hero?
for example: a marine is 50 minerals, so 2 marines + 50 minerals = jimmy or something, or with gols and etc.

Defence Units: Ground
Offense Units: Air

So ground units cant pass the line in the center? only air? instead of making a trigger, why not make it like water or something? If you havent already... :|

The line in the middle going horizontally is walkable, the vertical middle line is not.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.
