The VPAC Main provides the essentials and basics of Play As Creeper. Each unit has been heavily refined, partially redone, and partially overhauled to maximize their quality. One such quality is being able to have Launchers hold fire, a quality I was shocked to find lacking in the normal PAC Launcher.
A simple script that runs while paused to manage how much power you have. The “ERN” part and anything referring to ERNs as power is legacy as ERN power has been replaced by wireless power which can come from many sources.
This script uses the Global List to consolidate all power modifiers into a single array which is then evaluated to determine how much power the player is using and has access to. Indexes 1000 - 1008 are intended for this. 1006, 1007, 1008 are currently not being used but are still within the array in the event a new source of power modifiers are introduced in a separate CPACK.
The script is also responsible for the display which is intended to be from an ADA Message named “Display” (case sensitive) with a background image of 4. The list of units is color coded to the build tabs they reside in and the order they are within those tabs, listed from left-right, top-bottom.
Power Suppressor Context:
The VPAC Vertu Expansion provides units called Power Suppressors which when destroyed give additional power. The ERNManger is what causes these units to increase available power.
ERNs can also be released by Power Suppressors if you enable them to (preferably individually). This gives some depth to replaying the map for an optimized run.
This global script is responsible for automatically creating the DESTROY RIFT LAB custom objective. Since there is only a single custom objective in CW4 this script has a on/off toggle in the event you don't want only the DESTROY RIFT LAB objective.
It will create, write, enable, make required, and completed when the Rift Lab is destroyed. No need to snoop around game settings in the editor.
