Water temple was started before the contest, and frost temple was started WAYYYYYYYYYY before the contest. I'm the only one allowed to enter melee maps >=O

Stupid comps, after playing my map for a while, I noticed that the medics really like to move around, and that too many players head straight for the uber units at the center

Well i'm hoping for atleast positive comments

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Fullmetal3k on 2007-02-01 at 22:47:06

Damn, look all these comments, moose really has power and respect, to make people try to make a map in 4 days. Good thing I went right to work when i saw the theme: nothing.

Hmmmm

Shocko, im wondering, if you are a good maker...

Ei47, heh, i read your comments, you haven't complained about mini moose's theme...

We would all get pwned if Heegu joined...

Mp)Blu, didn't finish it eh? True, it was in a short notice, and we only had little time...

I wish you all luck,

Maybe Killer Kow will win honourable mention for doing something different from the rest.

I don't think my map will get much for a score, it's a little bit addictive, but only if you're really bored.

Laser Dude...speaking of medics...
I have made several maps with nuetral players, computers, etc that have medics behind beacons (selectable as a unit) and they eventually move around. I don't know why, either. I try every idea I can think of, but they keep moving.

Anyone know why this is or how it is preventable?

Report, edit, etc...Posted by NerdyTerdy on 2007-02-02 at 00:33:34

You can make a trigger like this:

Trigger

Description:

Keeping Medic In Place

Players:

¤ Whoever owns the medic

Conditions:

¤ Always

Actions:

¤ Move 1 Medic at 'Medic Spot' to 'Medic Spot'

¤ Preserve Trigger

¤ Comment Whatever

Nerdy's got the right idea, but it might be more effecient if...

Trigger

Description:

Keeping Medic In Place

Players:

¤ Whoever owns the medic

Conditions:

¤ Player X controls exactly 0 medic at 'Medic Spot'

Actions:

¤ Teleport 1 Medic at 'Medic Spot' to 'Medic Spot'

¤ Preserve Trigger

¤ Comment Whatever

Yeah....I figured that was the only way....

Anyone know why they move around like that even if they are on a comp that is allied with everyone and their medic is away from everything?

Bah, it's so annoying...

Thanks for the replies, though.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by NerdyTerdy on 2007-02-02 at 00:49:49

Something to do with the AI of the medic. I think it's always trying to assist something so it moves around a lot. Weird though since usually units won't move unless something bothers them.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by The_Overmind_77 on 2007-02-02 at 01:06:46

Maybe it is something to do with the optic flare ability? I read somewhere that if a unit is at some %hp medics automatically flare it if nearby...maybe they are trying to move to flare someone? idk...

Some unit AI's are really annoying...

This is definitely a record setter for number of entries. Don't expect results for a long time.

I bet it is also a record setter for most useless maps

. The maps might be playable but most would probably not be fun ;D

Damnit, the ONE time I enter... :/

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Laser_Dude on 2007-02-02 at 18:04:27

You wanna know what? The medics moving around doesn't really cause to much of a problem, it makes them harder to kill, since you have to follow them past plenty of tough units. And the harder to kill is good, since they're really major assets in a black hole.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Kyuubi. on 2007-02-02 at 18:08:28

this contest can go both ways. no doubt there would be a lot of entries with no theme for a contest. with good or medicore mappers being able to make a map in 4 days, don't be suprised of the results.

My dearest hope is that the judging is not quite so slow as to force into another four day contest in Febuary.

Four days wasn't forced on this one. I'm just out of my mind.
