Quote:Weekly Trigger Exercise #2
This weeks trigger exercise is about creating a squad mechanic where the whole group of units behave as one entity. You can use any unit for the exercise from a classical marine squad to a swarm of scourge. While you can interpret the concept of a squad any way you wish I have listed a few possible features to help you get started.
- The unit share any orders given.
- The group goes into a specific shape whenever possible.
- The whole unit shares a single health bar with units getting killed at specific intervals.
- The squad fires at all units near a target unit.
Good luck! I am looking forward to seeing results!
As the "creator" of this series, I have to say that my first attempt failed at participation and difficulty, aside from time, of course xD.
Fortunately, this one seems to be easier :P.
PS: Spontaneous xDDD.
Grunt work forms a large part of mapping, might as well participate :)
I was thinking of attempting this before the contest, but the same reason impedes me now. CBF.
Too specific, just feels like grunt work. But good luck to anybody trying. =D
