Here's the code for the revised Spiral Emitter:

Code Select Expand


once
MapWidth 2 div ->radius
1 5 RandInt ->angle
3 ->amount
endonce


<-angle cos ->x1
<-angle sin ->y1

<-x1 <-radius mul ->x
<-y1 <-radius mul ->y

CurrentX <-x add ->x2
CurrentY <-y add ->y2

3 6 RandInt ->amount

<-radius -0.2 add ->radius



<-radius 0 lte if
MapWidth 2 div ->radius
endif



GetGameTimeFrames 2 mod eq0 if
GetAllUnitsInRange(CurrentCoords 10 1) 0 do
->unit
GetUnitType(<-unit) "NULLIFIER" eq if
<-x2 <-y2 <-amount AddCreeper
GetGameTimeFrames 22 mod eq0 if
CreateUnit("EMITTER" <-x2 <-y2)->child
SetScriptVar(<-child 0 "productionInterval" 15)
SetScriptVar(<-child 0 "productionAmt" 50000000)
endif
endif
loop
endif

Yet another interesting... different map. Didn't like it as much as your real-time-no-pause map but it's definitely a great map! And I like that there are several approaches you can take to beat the map. You keep finding new ways to creatively influence people to rage quit!  ;D

I do my best.

Nice map, great combination of two new units. The spiral is initially quite shocking but can be farmed for PZs or

....

I am not going to put spoilers on Sorrontis' maps as it spoils his fun!

Oh I like spoilers.... Wait, is there a problem in the code? Some hint I missed?

Why would you want to, though?  What do you need the PZs for other than to kill the spiral itself?
