This topic is for discussion of map #7201: Unit Testing Grounds

Desc:
New weapon: the launcher shoots large numbers of homing bullets at the creeper. Build on the weapons tab either by clicking the new button or pressing the hotkey 0. I wouldn't recommend having more than around 2-3 actively firing at once.

Love to see a screenshot where these new weapons have been put to productive use in fighting Creeper.

This uses a launcher on a power zone, but the same idea applies.

Any idea why I get no reaction when trying to create the Launcher?
I can see the New button, but nothing happens when I Left Click on it.
Same nothing when Left Clicking on the Hot Key 0 (zero).
Thanks,
H

Thanks for the screenshot. I can't say I ever got that much AC from any of the 3 that I built on my first run.

Ye gotta click while the button is on the map, not when it's outside the borders in the void.

pew pew pew

The build manager can't create the unit outside the map and becomes unresponsive if it tries to. I'm working on a way to fix that, but for now you can reset it with the escape key.

Thank you for the feedback, but I don't understand what you're saying.
I'm attaching a screen capture that shows the button sitting off to the left of the bottom control area.
Please keep all advice "Infantry Simple".
:)

EDIT:
OK - got it. When I manipulate the screen (size and position) the magic button appears in the playing area.

In this image, the button is off the map

In this image, it's *on* the map

@K75,
Somewhere I have a "Thumbs Up" icon for CW that I could use right now.
Got it, thanks,
H
