Desc:
An updated version of my Respawners map, with the following changes: The CRPL tower no longer regenerates. All emitters will respawn, not just the ones near the tower. (Thanks to NickHounsome for suggesting this) The antispore tower's wave interval is longer.
This is the updated version of the respawn script:

This is the updated version of the respawn script:
"snip"
hey dude, you should probably post scripts in here "http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?board=25.0" so all the code monkeys can have a peek, and so all us code "borrowers" can go loot in one place rather than have to trawl through every map thread! ;)
I think you might be on to something here but it is still way too easy to avoid the cool respawn stuff.
Spoiler
The problem is that there is no pressure at the start so you can quickly build overwhelming force to fight forward without nullifying anything and then take out the respawner with 10 nullifiers at once.
I realize how tricky this is but somehow you need to make the start harder.
I suggest that you restrict aether otherwise a the end-game I describe is always going to be possible with loads of Berthas.
I also don't understand why you have AC spores.
Keep at it.
I like making scripts, but I'm no good at designing maps. Really, this is just a DMD map that looked nice. I'll look into making a more challenging map.
