Author: Vanguard
Size: 128x84
Desc:
Desciption: Demonstration of the creeper cannon. Easy level. Known issues: RPG-Shells block construction of units below. Shell Orientation is calculated wrongly. Todo: Add manual targeting? Rework effects. Add power up / modification beacons ( reduce cycle time, energy consumption, creeper consumption )
Unit Demonstration Level - Creeper Cannon.
How to use: Attach Creepercannon.crpl to unit. Upload any image you like to the custom image slots ( default custom1 for nuclear rpg and custom0_256 for artillery cannon.
Known issues: Shells block construction. Shell image orientation is absolutely wrong. Until I can figure out how to get the correct angle/radians out of a coordinate system, they will fly slightly offset.
I am uploading all the attached materials, because I will have major reworks done to my PC next week and I don´t want to lose a weekend of crunching.
Please be gentle in your ratings. :-\
Assets: Artillery is a screenshot from Supreme Commander. RPG Shells lovingly handcrafted by me.
Creepercannon.crpl: All variables that can be tweaked are exposed in the once/endonce segment, no need to dive into code.
Both .crpl come with weird gibberish inline-comments that shopuld answer any questions that might arise.
