Despite the code size, this is a pretty cool resource.

Well it certainly works and is useful, Although if you misplace a single fence it can make correcting your mistake pretty difficult, but I still like it, really simple though.

 

[ThisPOT]

You definitely can mess up the look, but the pathing is always there that's why I used squares as opposed to rectangles.

Here is the one trigger lols:

If you downloaded Version 1 walls that are damaged while construction will always have full HP once constructed, to avoid that uglyness download V 2...

Lol did you screencap your triggers? You can just right click the little white part at the top and hit "copy as text" and it'll get the whole thing for you. Just hit the trigger tag on the top of the post editor and paste the trigger. It'll make life soooo much easier.

Moin moin =)

Wait no. Okay this system is a useful one, but not in this case. I just wondering how you calculate the angle of the wall? When my builder has an angle of 0, then I want a vertical wall with angle 0 too, but I get the weired things.

Also the calculate of the wall connection is strange, because I get the weired things but actually not that what I want. I mean just try to create a normal 4x4 square.

So actually .. I don't know what I should think about this system.

What about adding abilities to a wall to rotate it?

I just took a screenshot lol, quick enough

I know it isn't perfect, and it sometimes look a little ugly, but that's because of the simplicity of the system (which is the point).

What I would need for a "really" perfect wall system, is L and X share wall.

I don't think you get the system, you only change the angle when it isn't right, for this one, it stays the same... But for example the sandbag (on this site) model would use 0.
It doesn't use the angle of the worker, just makes conjoined, or adjacent walls "cling"....

Not a bad idea just not at all what I'm doing



I can make it so walls that have already "clinged" wont again, unless they have un-clinged, but it would take some time and this system is real nice for thicker walls (like the sandbags), with skinny models like here (the fence) it isn't as good, but over-all it definitelly gets the job done and haven't seen resources of the like here.

Thx btw!

• Set Group_A = (Units within 150.00 of Point_A matching ((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Wall_Real)))

Leaks. Make sure you DestroyGroup.

 

[ThisPOT]

Hmmm I guess we all missed that, will fix right now.

EDIT: updated, thanks !

New limitation available to set only to horizontal and vertical to prevent players making ugly wall setups (if they are not perfectly placed horizontally or vertically to the other wall they will just remain horizontal).

Old system revised and fixed.

tyyyyy i love this

Useful but not very handy... 4/5

 

[ThisPOT]

Aren't useful and handy the same thing ;o?

I don't think so ^^
However, I'm French, that could explain the possible mistake...
