andy5995 81 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 When modding, can some units be designated as air units? By "air units", I mean units that can fly; and fly over water, trees, and other map objects that would normally block land units. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stan` 7.034 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Sure look for the plane template or the bird ones 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andy5995 81 Posted January 26 Author Report Share Posted January 26 Hi @Stan` And those units can be made to do ranged attacks, morph, and do most everything land units can? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stan` 7.034 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Ranged attacks yeah. Morph dunno what that is. For the rest you need to try I suppose. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

andy5995 81 Posted January 26 Author Report Share Posted January 26 @Stan`, what @Carltonussaid. And for extra trivia, "morph" is derived from the English word metamorphosis and in French I believe it's "métamorphose". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loki1950 570 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 The deviation is Greek and Latin and has more meanings than just "promotion" though the metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly/moth is a promotion Enjoy the Choice 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They don't seem to respond well to the move command. Initially they'll move right away, but after that, they kind of fly around in circles before moving to a spot that's been selected and don't stay in one place when ordered to. But I'll experiment more; maybe there's something I missed. This test map I made is a 2v5 game on a modified Red Sea skirmish map. P1 and P2 have 5 planes each, and 2 players on the opposing team also have 5 planes each. air_unit_test_01.pmp air_unit_test_01.xml Edited January 26 by andy5995 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stan` 7.034 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 I added a new option in A24 to allow them to be stationnary like an helicopter or a spaceships 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
