Im wondering if anyone can help me, this might be a bit complicated but bare with me.
I want to make a battle Cruiser that fires straight ahead without having to target a unit. I want the attack to work as an Instant effect.
lets say i press or hold A and the unit begins to fire in the direction that the unit is facing.
And while I'm at it I would also like to create the same effect to move. For example, If i hold space bar it begins to move my unit in the direction its facing.
So I have the map set up and the regions are working but now I want to make it more accurate like you were insisting, so I was think about how to store the data from one region to another. I'm assuming it would be based on height and width. for example, making a variable for the Left-region height from 1-10 or 1-20 depending on the size of the map, and then reading at what position/height of the region did the unit enter and move that unit to the opposite region with the similar height.
I don't know if that's how it would work, and if it is how would I approach making it read what value the unit is on in the region?
I'm fairly new to the Map editor and I'm really struggling in creating something iv'e only seen in one game, Cruiser Command.
In this game the map is an outer space map and two battlecruisers fight against each other with players running the ship. My question is related to the map.
When your moving your battlecruiser and you reach the end of the map, it doesn't stop..... it wrap-around to the opposite side of the map and continues moving forward. similar to pac-man when you pop from one side to the other.
I would really like some help in figuring this out.
