Working scripts under , I think. :-[

No always on sprayers (AC makers) in this map.

Spoiler

To win last section , you should target spore towers into lower and upper passage.

Are these things supposed to happen in this map? :-\
1) You cannot get a second spore tower up, like you were supposed to in the previous version, because the digitalis won´t grow back if you don´t have a creeper spawner.
2) Corrupted mine and Corrupted ether gets build, but the corrupted ether gets destroyed and does nothing for you while the corrupted mine gets destroyed and leaves a PZ, which you cannot use, because there is an energy crystal on top of it.

So confused by your maps, sorry. :o

I get this after getting the corrupted mine and ether

We don't get the 2nd spore but il try my way to the second CN.

Thx for the new submission.

It's meant to happen you cannot get second spore tower up. ;)
Green corrupted thing seems to be bug. I don't repair it because it's not important. :-[
And white corrupted thing (ether) gives you some digi growth around it.
Is this easier at all? To me it was. :o

Spoiler

You should target spore at beginning very near of emitter.

So the map is easier
The corrupted mine work and i've move to the 2nd CN.

The Mine and the "not always on AC" really helps.
I enjoy this one.

If you can't be bothered fixing bugs that you know about it is no surprise your maps are full of them at the moment!

Sorry to be harsh, you are a very talented map maker and programmer but quantity seems to be winning over quality at the moment and it is making for some pretty frustrating experiences!

Well, this one worked and I could actually finish it. Actually it was super easy :P When first wall broke(from spore), CN immediately started dying, second one went fast as well. For the third one - I used the backdoor - accumulated bit of creeper in the corner and when wall got melted, I took out almost all of reactors.

Well , I usually always test CRPL in finalised maps.
And I have no any idea why energy packs don't go when powerzone is created. :(
<-RUID 1 Destroy should destroy it. ???
And these others work.

Code Select

 
<-RType "ENERGY" eq if
     "POWERZONE" CurrentCoords CreateUnit
     <-RUID 1 Destroy
     Self 0 Destroy
endif

I liked this map ok but I thought the first one was better because it wasn't as easy.

I am kinda confused about the wall thing though. I aimed right at the wall and hit it like 10x and nothing happened. I aimed at one after the other and aimed in front of the wall. Finally I hit the wall just right (I guess, I really dunno what I did) and then it was actually too easy. I think I spent 20 minutes just hitting the wall different ways.

And perhaps this is just me... I'd rather just have a regular PAC than a weird one that has bugs. It would be less work for you, and more fun for me. Win-win, woot, yay and stuff like that. :)

It takes time for the wall to decay. If the wall is over a void, you need to hit it directly (or pile >500 creeper up against it), it takes about a minute for a wall pixel to decay once it has been hit. Be careful not to hit the same pixel with too many spores or it will overload and become AC!

If the green energy packet was supposed to disappear after using it once in this map, I don't think it would be possible to win. You can't destroy your main emitter this time and replace it with a 2nd spore tower, since the digitalis doesn't grow from the far left custom one anymore.

The first one was actually incredibly well balanced in my own opinion without most of scripts working properly, it was a "move fast, or lose" kind of map that didn't really require anything special other than that digitalis sustaining special unit.

Thanks, RrR. You R a great help! ;D

@Builder17 I had already beat it when I posted. I was talking hypothetically that if the energy packet disappeared like the first iteration of this map, it would have been impossible with only one spore tower.
