I was wondering if there's anyway to make crystallic cannons at the start of the game, like preplaced or something, at least my a computer do it? Please help.



None.

"Crystallic" as in... The effect of the arbiter spell? Stasis field? I'm terrible with terms :P Basically what I got out of that was "do something to photon cannons"

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

He wants working photon cannons that look like as they would still be warping in. Effect is that you see the shape of the photon cannon but its "skin" is covered with blue waves which looks crystallic.

Crystallic Cannons Tutorial-Link

The point is that WHILE the cannon warps in you remove the pylon powering it thus stopping the warping. But then you have to enable the doodad state of the cannon to make it shoot.
This makes clear, that crystallic cannons can't be preplaced. If you find a way to make comp build cannons and detect it before the warping is complete, you could use a comp... But I can't think of a reliable way to do it.

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
