Location

Hmm... Does the High,Medium, and Low heights determine the units flying heights or is it the terrain levels?

 

[SC Fan]

Though not exactly sure, it may mean the terrain level, ie high dirt, dirt and sundy sunken pits (desert). But don't count on that yet.

 

[FVCK.YOU]

Though that is what I thought it is, but I hope it's not. I guess i'll have to test it. I'm trying to make the beam up (from GERP) effect air units as well. *sigh* so many things were neglected from the editor...

It is Terrain Levels

Bummer....

Why's it a bummer? I think that's a neat tool so you only have to use one location.

Example: You have two "high dirt" areas each in one corner of the map. Top left and bottom right. You're trying to save locations, so you make one big location where you "create" units, and enable it only to high ground. The units will be created on high ground, leaving the rest of the location obsolete, BUT, saving a location.

Its a bummer because i'm trying to get flying units to warp into another flying unit. But since its not at flight hight then it wont work...

There's one thing I hate about the height of the location:
when you burrow a ling, it doesn't count as the lower level of the terrain.
Like if you burrow at regular dirt, it will stay at regular dirt.
If it didn't do that, I'd have soo much possibilities.

*dreams about a map editor that has the action "Except"

 

[crazy-man]

lol i wish there was a good map editor that can set location advance that'll be FUN

Suggest it in the Starforge thread. That would be cool if Heimdal could implement that idea.

If there were more then 255 locations then bound maps would be almost endless. I'd put it up to something like 5000 locations. Although, it would slow down the game play extremly a lot and it would lag like mad.

[rune_warrior]

........ thats not right.. never ending bounds.... gay.......

 

[Bolt Head]

5000 locations wouldn't lag SC alone and the only reason you don't have very many "never ending bounds" is because most boundmakers are too stupid to know how to do it.

PS. 5000 locations thats more than strings you are allowed. when you reach 1024 locations you end up maxing the string limit instead of the location limit. lol that would be funny

Hmm...I was thought bounds were only limited to your imagination on explosions and the trigger limit(which still has not been discovered).

I know how to make never ending bounds, I'm not that stupid but it's not fun, all you do is run through the 1 level for like 150 levels. I like to go around the whole map, seeing different terrain designs.

That’s not what I’m referring too mathix. I’m talking about filling a 256x256 map of bounds. But I don’t expect to ever see one of these (soon at least)

 

[-MatriX-]

One of what? The 150-level bound? I have probably 5 of them. I can give you one if you want.

[Golden Fox]

plz post 1 of em i wanna c if it really is possible

 

[Bolt Head]

Im not talking about a "level up" bound. Why don't you post one then.
