Thanks a lot bob, you're the best man to handle this. I've been trying to help, but it's probably his best bet to simply start over. Check the map if you want proof, it's almost impossible to fix without starting over.

[§eNs€o]

It is still not the problem that the whole map doesent work.
It is just the one thing, everything else works perfect! (Have still to fix the Car-Script , but thats easy)
Why should I make the whole map new, when that, what makes the map interessting still won't work

[00 Nobody]

It's because of the fact that you still need to make it so that the forces all say "neutral" in the player list, ok? the game can tell what teams players are on when you start a game. If you really want this map to work, though, you have to get rid of that base you made in the center. This is your first map, try not to make it that amazing, ok? you should only be working on skirmish maps with no twists except maybe more money per supply dock at this stage in mapmaking. After you make 5 skimish maps, make a couple of missions to get the hang of advanced scripting and team making, and then try the harder, new stuff. Look at me, I'm making an RPG, and already finished Part 1! Trust me, it's better to start out small (I learned that the hard way a couple of times) untill you can do stuff like that.

Here's an easier way to say it:

***IF***
you get rid of the base
***THEN***
map will work fine
***ELSE***
it won't work like you want it

If I delete the base it won't work like I want it.The Skirmish AI works fine.
And I dont have big problems with scripting
Play the map, maybe then you see the one error

[PR 4 @LL!!!]

lol keep eating those happy pills, gr8 news my train works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

chuff chuff chuff peep peep!

[Bob]

Glad to be of help.

I love those videos. I just wish I would have known about them before I started mapping. It would have made my life a lot easier. I swear, I'm cross-eyed now because of all of the nights spent trying to read the Worldbuilder manual and trying to comprehend it all.

A picture truly is worth a thousand words. An a video is worth millions.

Hopefully, when C&C 3 comes out, they'll have a much better world building program, and manual for it. One can only hope.

Here's a pic of a map that I'm working on, Bay Time Beat Down, one of the new naval maps.

I really like the looks of it, but I wonder if you wouldn't mind a suggestion. Would it be possible to resize the borders (and/or map) a bit to make it possilbe for naval units to come around the back side of the lower right island? Right now it looks like it's possible for the upper left island player to do that, but not for the player on the lower right island.

Just a thought.

Looks real good. Can't wait to play it.

[Vanguard]

It's possible for the upper, but not a good tactic, and in real life land isn't symetrical, the lower island has an advantage in that it can't have units go behind it, and that there is only one real entrance, but the upper left island is bigger, and has sams, but has the disadvantage of units being able to go around it.

[PR 4 @LL!!!]

ok guys who help with this---

i want some units at the beginning of a game to enter my base then start attacking me.

i can scrpt them to follow the waypoints but dnt have a clue how to make them attack me, and not just sit there!

thanks

Set it up like this:

IF
TRUE

THEN
Team (insert team name here) follows waypoint path (insert waypoint path name here), as a team is (true or false, doesn't matter).

IF
One unit from Team (insert team name from before) enters area (insert area name here)

THEN
Team (from before again) begin attack on player Local Player.

Make sure you have the team created (go to the teams tab and make a team with nothing in it, name it bob or something, I don't care) and have all the units you wanna have attack you on that team.

[PR 4 @LL!!!]

ne help wud b nice.

[00 Nobody]

You need to know how to make a map.ini. I just made my own by copying another and changing it, so don't look at me.
