What is The THING?
The THING will be a creature that can shape change to almost anything on the map. Everyone will know who The THING is, this is not like a "Who's the killer" game. The original shape of The THING will be very strong. This is why humans will start in a very fortified army base. If you are killed by The THING, you will be sent to his cave and either join him or wait to be rescued. The THING can also shape change to look like you or somebody else. There will be lots of wild life in the area, this will help The THING stay hidden. The THING's objective is to kill all humans.

Every human player will choose one hero, you will be then spawned in your base. There will be 10 vehciles including 1 helicopter. These vehciles may have up to 1-2 people each vehicle, so if there were 9 players, 2 people may go in the helicopter and 7 others will enter the other vehciles, or just foot it (bad choice though)

What does The THING do?
Well, The THING acts like a God in the game, he can basicly do what ever he wants and when he wants to do it. He lives in this large abandonded mining cave. He has an ability that can shape change in to anything he likes, the wild life or someone else on the other team. Another aura ability is when anything touches The THING, The THING has mind control over them. Lets just say that any AI units will have permenet control.

What am is going to be in the gameplay?[/]
The gameplay will have you scared at most times, i have made a small basic system with lightning and thunder and rain with some special effects amungst the dead trees. And In some areas you have a great view. The terrain is made up out of 4 sets of terrain, Lordaeron Grass/Dirt, Snow/Winter, Wasteland(for the caves) and rough/hard tones of terrain for the horror part of the map.

Why not use a trigger who save the thing stats and remplace the thing by the target for the morphing ability and giving to the new form the ability take original form and the ability take target form.when a unit launch take original form we remplace the unit by the thing and we put saved stats in the unit

 

[Aztec_devil2000]

So your saying like if your The THING, you use an ability on a flesh unit and later on you can take its form via an ability?

[noob]

no I am saying the thing have an ability called take target form If the thing cast this ability he take the form of the target the thing stats are saved and the remplacing unit gains the ability take original form and when a unit cast take original form she is remplaced by the thing and the saved stats are given to the remplacing unit also I hate world editor unlimited

 

[Aztec_devil2000]

I somewhat too, i only use World editor becuase none of the other world editors have good terrain movements. I have all world editors, newgen, unlimited, normal

The gameplay sounds really nice and interesting, but why import 100 custom models and increase filesize so much?
Nobody will play this except on lan parties then...

 

[Aztec_devil2000]

File size is only 1.3mb =D, I don't go for the large files :\ My limit is at least 70kb and lower.

Edit: Well, some models maybe 100-200, but i needed them :\
Edit: But most are 1kb big

Edit: Updated infomation and 1 new image

Map looks very interesting. I love how you make the word thing all caps
Terrain tiles could use variation and say no to blizzard cliffs (in my opinion).

 

[Aztec_devil2000]

As you can see in my latest image, top left. The waterfall show's exactly that (No blizzard cliff in sight there)

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Ok, but more variation. Also I suggest you use

tags or tags

 

[Aztec_devil2000]

and tags? sorry that i don't know :\

 

[Drunken_Jackal]
