does anyone have any clue how to spawn building blocks in when the bases fortify? This has me stumped. I'm trying to get a base to add 'on to itself' when it fortifies, making it more impressive looking.
The only thing I can think of is changing the labels and spawn sequence... but I don't think a.) it would despawn if the base was taken, nor b.) that would work because the things that DO work aren't spawning in, they're just changing. It's unfortunate, really. A missed opportunity. Just like not really being able to use bases in other gametypes - I mean, sure, you can use turrets, but that's actually it. If you could make the entire base useable/upgradeable in other gametypes, then all the ideas I keep wanting to try would STOP FALLING THROUGH! -_-
Yah srsly. There are SO many things that need changing and improvement, and these are minor compared to the overall scheme. Allowing Flood to wield other weapons is up there, along with (hopefully) allowing Regicide to be altered to create Juggernaut gametypes (and remove the waypoint) by changing the conditions to become King. Which is really what they should have done to Juggernaut to create Regicide, but whatever. I'm not furious, but I AM frustrated that every idea I have gets shot down by constraints that are actually NEW to this game. It still has so much potential though.
Well, considering a game mode like Extraction isn't even in official rotation yet despite being ready at launch, (Or Relay, or Settler, or whatever the Erosion map is called) I'd have to say the likelihood of some big content updates to both gametypes and maps is pretty good.
Oh I agree. I'm mainly talking about the custom options though - even though those games aren't in rotation, just because they WILL be doesn't mean they're going to change the options for them. But I'm hoping they do. Extraction looks like the new territories though and I'm not a huge fan.
I ran through a few games on my -nearly- complete map Stormfront and found it to be like a watered down version of KotH. That said, I think it depends entirely on the map the gametype is on, as well as the placement of the objectives. But that's true of any gametype on a custom map, isn't it?
I've also noticed that if you set a capture post to belong to a team, at the beginning of the game it is associated with the team but still has 'capture' over it, and won't fortify or drop any weapons or anything. -.-
So the Team ownership is either bugged, or the script isn't meant to run automatically for a team. Lame.
Unless I saw the 343i maps do what you are suggesting, I would simply assume that it cannot be done. But there are things that we are not told why they exist at all, such as User Data in the Advanced tab. There is a difference between animation and spawning.
