[Spell] Barricades

[Coolty44]

Hey guys, I'm working on a future-based map that involves large gun fights, with weapons randing from flamethrowers to rifles.

I was wondering if anybody would like to try a system that has a chance for a barricade to take damage instead of the unit behind it. If you could too, make it so it is all angle, ranged and attack type based. So if a unit with a siege based attack damage attacks it, the units behind it will take X amount of the damage, well the barricades take alot of the blow.

If you have any questions, just ask me and I'll happilly answer them.

Thanks in advance to whomever helps =) (and of course +rep if you help)

I guess you'd need to make the bullets and projectiles actual units... that could get messy though. After that maybe use a periodic checker to see if barricades are near the missile.

do something like when units gets x damage it will be transfered to barricade and instant heal to unit if only the unit is somewhere in x region near barricade

or something like that this was only suggestion

give units near barricades evasion

:O that would be good idea doom ^^
but there would be still problem that barrice should get damage?

Well the best way is to make an MUI missile system.

To check if the "missile" has hit the wall, you make the wall a destructable and you check the next point (if pathing is off == false). then else, etc.

Then when the missile hits the wall you just pick every destructable in range and damage them

Simple

or you could just make missiles non homing either during the entire game, or just when units are near the barricades.

Well acually my friend made a GUI version that checks for the projectile and damages the blockade infront of the unit. I'd use it, but like most GUI its horribly ineffective and leaks like crazy. If you want to see how he did I'll attach the map

*Bumpidy bump bump* This is important, and Im pretty much ripping my hair out trying to think of something else to replace this, so, for the sake of my hair,
L'il help?

easy

Use flying heights if the flying height of the bullet is higher than 25, it will pass and if its lower, it will die to the barricade =3
