Is this possible?

Okay, so i'm making a CTF map in which you have a defiler and you dark swarm to shoot the enemy. When you dark swarm, interceptors come out and go to the dark swarm. However, is this possible as dark swarm are neutral units and when you dark swarm the computer does not know if it is yours or another player? Or am i wrong?

If this isn't possible does anyone have any suggestions to how i can make this map? I can make it so the player is a dropship and they you unload a unit and it autotargets, but i want the unit to be land based and so you can target.

Thanks.

you can't tell who cast the dark swarm.



None.

Yeah i know, so is there any other alternative?

Divide the map in multiple sections for each player.

Like players infiltrating a base from different spots.

However, it could reduce the fun. Other than that, I don't know.

Well it's team vs team so that wouldn't really work.

Is it really important for you to detect who is fireing ?



None.

Yeah because when a dark swarm is created, interceptors would be moved to the defiler than ordered to the dark swarm. If the interceptors touch any enemy defilers, they lose health.

Then think about another system.

Or make the defiler one of the possible weapons player could chose from.

you can just make it so everyone loses health...it makes more sense and then you have to coordinate with your allies better

The dark swarm belongs always to P12, no matter who casted it.

Oh_Man -- whereas just "press X to get 50 health back" is pretty mindless

Oh_Man -- because it adds anotherr level of player decision-making where u dont wanna walk too far away from the medic or u lose healing value

Oh_Man -- initially I thought it was weird why is he still using the basic pre-EUD medic healing system, but it's actually genius

Vrael shouted: I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff
With the modern EUD editors, I don't think they're calculating nearly as many offsets as you might imagine. Still some fancy ass work that I'm sure took a ton of effort

Oh_Man -- definitely EUD
