Starting entities placement suggestion

[FeXoR]

I think the scout looks better in front of the civil center with the females on the one side and the infantry on the other.

I don't seam to able to upload a screen-shot (Why? How? In other posts it worked?)

However I think it's understandable what I describe.

Edit: Here's the screenshot:

The code for that could look similar to:

// Place starting entities
placeObject(x, z, startEntities[0].Template, i+1, buildAngle);
for (var typeIndex = 1; typeIndex < startEntities.length; typeIndex++)
{
	var numUnits = (startEntities[typeIndex].Count !== undefined ? startEntities[typeIndex].Count : 1);
	for (var unitIndex = 0; unitIndex < numUnits; unitIndex++)
	{
		placeX = x + Math.pow(-1, typeIndex-1) * (3 + round(numUnits/2 + 1/4) - unitIndex);
		placeZ = z + Math.pow(-1, round(typeIndex/2 - 1/4)) * (4 - round(numUnits/2 - 1/4) + unitIndex);
		placeObject(placeX, placeZ, startEntities[typeIndex].Template, i+1, buildAngle);
	};
};

Because this is the wrong forum =) I've moved the topic to the correct place though, so now you should be able to if you want to

Oh, thx, sry, stupid me.

This doesn't work well because the units disappear behind the building when the camera is rotated by default.

Having them on the two sides facing the camera makes the most sense (which is what it does at the moment, IIRC).

Haven't thought about that, makes sense.
