Staredit Network

I've been trying to make a crashed car in StarCraft as part of a map I'm working on. However, my efforts have met with... little sucess...

So, I thought I'd post here and see if anyone has any ideas/examples that could help me.

If someone could come up with a really great crashed car, I'll give credit and all of the minerals I get in the next 30 days. (What I have with me now and all that I get in the next 30 days)


Here's some details/specifications:

- Must be in Badlands Terrain
- Preferrably (if mosiac tiles [extended terrain] on the Asphalt terrain, but if you come up with something good in any of the other terrains, please show me! )
- Use as many sprites/units as you want (The map's pretty small, I can afford a large spritecount)
- Be as creative as you like!



Thanks for your time reading this thread.

What exactly do you mean by "crashed car"? like a tank that runs into a wall and explodes? or the terrain looks like a crashed car?

Stationary crashed car, so like terrain that looks like a crashed car, units and sprites that look like it...

Bascially, anything that could give the impression that some kind of ground vehicle has been destroyed there, leaving behind wreckage.

theres always the crashed tank in desert...

Too bad I'm not using that terrain...

No one has any ideas?

Does it have to be in any specific terrain or can it be in any?

Smart cookie's we have here. Anyway you could always try using a live tank owned by a computer player and putting sprites to conceal portions of it. If the sprites appear on top of it, that is.

Maybe use sprites to touch up the Crashed Norad II unit?

I was trying at first to use Siege Tanks and then the Cloaked Bunker/Fire trick, but the problem is, the Siege Tank can't be in the same location as the Bunker.

I also tried Siege Tank sprites and Bunkers, but Siege Tank (Base) sprites crash SC when placed with SCMDraft 2, and they don't show up in StarForge.

Vulture sprites don't work (too small when facing up, can't face sideways.)

Attached are my two terrain attempts, either too blocky or "just not right..." to use.

EDIT: They're alittle blurry. The top one looks blockier in game, and the bottom one actually looks better in-game, but seems alittle small... and doesn't 'feel' like a car.

Hmmm, I'll try the Norad idea.

make a crashed norad 2. Get the flamethrower sprite, and put it all over it, so its on fire, like what lethal said.

Why dont you just make a tank sprite?

And use the flamethrower sprite all over it.

Good idea. Anyways, save the map below, then view it in scmdraft. I dobnnt know how to use screenshots right!

Here's my attempt.

I'm pretty sure the flamethrower sprite disappears in the game...
Why don't you use the crashed carrier terrain instead of the cruiser? I'm pretty sure you could touch that up with a couple sprites and maybe some cloaked burning terran buildings. Note that only the area of impact would probably be on fire, not the whole vehicle.

Crashed Carrier? I'm not exactly sure what you mean.

Yes, the flamethrower sprites dissapear in game. I think that a half-built Covert Ops sprite would work great though, I'll have to try it.

Looks infested. Well... Ancient infested. It's cool, but i wouldnt call it crashed.

Here's the new "crashed vehicle"... I think it looks pretty good.

It looks like a mechanical Beatle! COOL!

it looks like a crashed hover car! REALLY nice...

yeah, its nice.

Muhahuauhauhahua, I got the first post of the second page!

I like the beatle one.

It looks like a half-built covert ops on fire! COOL!



...Just kidding.

Fortune, it's the first page for me.
