First map with CPRL in it Turned out to be a little too easy after all, but at least you'll have to do some work or you die :P #MexxorMaps #CPRL #Flip emitter #Connect emitter #Digitalis #Spores #AC assist #Antispores #Symmetrics #AE towers #Void

Oops, forgot to change the 5 to 4, well seems I have the title for my next map then

That was fun to play. I took a peek at your pre-release version, but my comments echoed with what others were saying. This is much improved and was a blast.

The only suggestion I would add is add popup text to your custom emitters, similar to the regular emitters, that shows the amount and interval of what they are producing (and obviously, have it change when they flip). That would give your custom emitters a touch of polish.

Looking forward to the next one.

Thanks for the feedback
That would be kinda cool, the popup text, but unfortunately I have no Idea whatsoever how to do that. I just take things out of other maps and put them in mine  :-\

You just put together a string (with whatever text and math you need) and call SetPopupText. You want to do it before that Delay call. Something like this. (Also converted your two opposite IF statements into a single if..else.)

Spoilered your codes to not make a big post :P
thanks for that, since I have no coding skills whatsoever I have to make do with what i can grab from other people, but I'll give it a try in my next map :)

If you need a little help on an idea you have in the future, post in the Coder's Corner. There are several of us usually willing to help out.

Fun, as usual, Mexxor! Keep up the neat maps. Love the symmetry and creative terrain constraints.

[Mexxor]

nice to know that grayzurr, and thanks stave
