Hey Guys, my friend and me have got a nice idea: make a race like red alert, means you have 1 main building center and all buildings gets build IN there and can be placed at a into a pylon area (every new buildings gives a new pylon area) i think this idea is great, and think that it is possible.
But does anyone know directly if it works and how?

Could someone tell me why there are two of these threads by two different people?

It's not really possible with current modding tools, unless you're willing to go to extreme measures.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

because both know each other and talked about that?

Place COP isn't really good for anything that needs to be done more than once, or close to once.

yea thats right. When you take the placecop idea is there a big problem: You first have to place the buidling anywhere before you can create a cop of it (i think) otherwise it is a good idea

You could fake it with morphing. Have your main building produce a fast cloaked flying unit (invincible with 0 sight too, maybe) that has the image of the building and a button to morph into the building. That way, you produce the "building" first, then place it second.

I tried a Red Alert type ranged building system awhile a go. I never got anywhere with it. If I can't figure out a way to do it, good luck.

Ultraviolet shouted: NudeRaider I suppose that's one justification for pushing it to 1.00. I'm still messing with some novel concepts, I completely revamped the Shadowcraft hero in v0.18 and there's some kinks to work out with some of the other changes I made, but I suppose that doesn't mean I can't call the currently version 1.XX
indeed

Ultraviolet shouted: Imp UV3 is actually in the works with some major changes, but it's been slow going. I'd like to have a version of Imp UV for every tileset at one point.. hopefully it doesn't take until 2030 :P
prediction: It will. ;)

NudeRaider -- Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet shouted: NudeRaider Oh definitely fully playable. I used the first map as the shell, so it was basically complete from the first release. I've made some tweaks and improvements here and there based on nuances between the maps, like UV2 has more air units so certain ground-focused heroes like Psycho and Shadowcraft have needed some buffing. Other improvements have been little bug fixes or ways of stopping cheese strategies (like the bosses now spawn in a random location instead of at their lair so players can't just camp them with nukes. UV2 is definitely harder despite only being 4 levels + boss fight instead of 5. I'd say it's definitely worth a go, there's some unique mechanics that make each of the levels have kind of their own interesting spin
