Version update. There was a small bug that was discovered during my last play of this map.

i played a round today and it looks like an amazing map O.O. But it was odd, the comps seemed to be doing stuff, but their kill meter, never went up?? And the other thing that REALLY REALLY bothers me and takes away from this incredible map is the turn angle . The turn angle is HORRIBLE!! (sorry). It takes forever to make a 180 degree turn!! and often you need to slow down for that which just gives you a bunch of missiles in the back D:. I think turn angle should be increased by Jet speed upgrade, or if you hold the arrow it should turn harder. Other than that, obvious 5/5, one if it's kind )

duke-zip: I don't think a real Harrier/Fighter can do a quick 180 degrees turn now, can it?

 

[duke-zip]

not quick... i am not talking about like a skate board. But it is incredibly slow right now. And increasing your speed pretty much decreases your turn functionality. As you go up in speed it should at least neutralize the turn gap. and they do make pretty quick turns, in terms of seconds it must be 2 or 3 times as fast as the turns in this game

are you ever gonna update/work on this map again? Its a really good map, but people have found that the homing missile is too good... its all you need if you fill your inventory with em and just spam attack. much too easy maybe they should work for air only?

 

[Kildare]

Yea. I might revive the project coz there's a possibility that i'll be able to get some committed testers. MAYBE. =P

HOLY CRAP I THINK I FIGURED OUT YOUR SPEED PROBLEM.. So seeing this map, i wanted to make a racing map... But i couldn't make the cars go very fast... So i began to think... hmm What if i used an integer for speed... like, move unit instantly to point offset by *integer* towards facing angle of *unit*... But i couldn't find integer variable when trying this.. I did however find the "real" Group, and decided to use mana. As in : Move unit instantly towards facing angle of *unit* offset by *units mana /10* towards facing angle of unit. And voila it worked... He moves 1/10 of his mana amount.. Now i ran this trigger at a 0.05 of a second pace, trying to keep the lagg at a minimum. Suprisingly there was no lag!!!! Maybe its because of my laptop... its not that good and has an intel celeron processor.. He moved smooth as a baby's bottom.. (creepy?) The only thing left is to make the unit face the right angle and play his "walk animation".

xD i hope this helps as it will make this game a hell of a lot better.. And since your not using mana as an ammo counter, wouldn't this work great? Upgrading your speed would be limit less as you just keep upping the max mana amount.

Hope you like the suggestion, if you want i can send you the map to prove this concept works without much lagg

Lol someone's actually still playing this?

No dude, you don't understand. Using triggers to "move" units is easy...but it eats alot of memory AND bandwidth...ESPECIALLY if its a MULTIPLAYER game online. Don't believe me? Try a multiplayer game using your method with 6 or more players. And don't go using a map that has little units. Try something with alot like mine.

What do you mean "someones still playing this" ... Its a fun game xD

If you make the trigger leak free and stuff it should work fine? i tried with 3 people online (not quite 6) and nobody lagged.. Well, i dunno, just thought this project needed more speed

Keep working on it, and maybe i could be one of those committed testers? I can usually host stuff on b.net xD

Nah it's fine. 7 more days till SC2 is released, and i already have the editor for it anyway. SC2 doesn't have a speed limit(or rather, a very much expended speed limit). =D

 

[Superz_Ze_Man]

hey! i have the demo too! and ive already preordered sc2 too xD

 

[taxikar]

lol this is pretty funny with full house ^^ (with players of course).
I would give 4/5 cause i would like the harrier to be more speedy .

....weee my favourite red alert 2 track !

 

[kenomot]

?

why i cant play it ?
