this was my attempt at making a cursor map and i think it turned out well AG and Trickycorp are the original writers of the scripts (unless someone else wrote it) i hope you enjoy playing the map! #CRPL
Is this working properly? I can move the star emitter thing with I but the cursor isn't creating any AC at all.
Yes, it works, but only when its Activated by the Runnernests that are tilted with a black circle in it. You can only Emit AC in Space and on free/AC covered Land (Free in the sense that there isnt any Creep on the spot you're trying to cover.
so, i hope that helps.
Gameplay was weird.
Initial situation felt powerless: Nothing emitted, I had forgotten that the I key sets the emit point, so I didn't see anything I could do and didn't know if I was supposed to do something or just wait.
Having to wait until the 45° powerup was active was annoying. Nothing to do.
Finding the right place to start wasn't trivial either. Tried various things.
Key observation:
Spoiler
Moving emitters are MUCH easier to flip than stationary ones. They will flip back, but if you got it to flip once, you can make it flip again, and expand the AC-covered area while it's on the dark side.
Once I had around 100 AC, things got too easy.
So this was a weird scenario, too hard initially, then too easy.
But still a fun map!
Great first map of this type! I look forward to you making more and refining your technique. :) Starting with at least one tower active would definitely help!
excellent map dude! the only recommendation i have is to put a text box at the start to let the players know to "use "i" to place the AC cursor position on the map" etc...
otherwise i have nothing to say past, good job, great map, make more! 8)
