Hey guys, I'm working on the map Battle Tanks. There is an inherent flaw when the tanks are not within range and I solve this through a timer, when 45 seconds have passed I issue first a "Send all units on strategic suicide missions" then after a few seconds "Send all units on random suicide missions" and I loop this. The first time it fires no problem, after that its anybody's guess.

Any other solutions to make them attack eachother other than these?

offer incentive to players to not sit around and camp or what have u

or u could have a computer in some other vechile run around and it has very high dmg and armor and it would go around tryin to kill the tanks, and obviously they would want to move them lol

Yeah I have to make more effort to minimize the stage sizes. Because if theyre too big the players will obviously develop their own zones at distances. I like the rabid killer idea lol. I also have another timer after that 45 seconds that ties the game, and adds whatever remaining tanks they had to the roster for a rematch but that takes away too much from the flow imo. Highground incentive is an idea, and place the highground more towards the center, usually mirrored i guess for both teams to have a chance, or maybe not, i tend to be too leniant. I'll keep brainstorming, thanks fairy.

I've tried. I might try again. The first time I tried I just do global Anywhere to Anywhere, but this time if I have to, I'll cut the stage in half, 2 locations and, send the commands for both sides.

and use it on all players and value the same area higher and see what happens lol

O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- below the minimap should be a thing that says "Overlay Settings" with a little + button in the corner, press the + to expand it, uncheck Use Defaults, then change "Tile Overlay" to "Height"

Sylph-Of-Space -- It would be so so so nice if SCMDraft had some kind of dedicated "walkability" view for the tilesets.
