Time Bomb?

[Kawagata]

I remember seeing it done somewhere. So how is it done exactly. The only way i see it is with the attack being switched to a scarab then having the scarab have a massive delay.idk.. ideas?

[ExcaliburMM]

Voyager did it in his brand new mod BattleField Tarsonis. Its on SEN so you can PM him or his MSN is in his profile. I know him personaly and hes a friendly dude who will be more than happy to explain it to you.

thanks!! so i'm guessing this is the ICECC data.
basically there is no graphics so just dmg appears. goody.
now to test it out. TY!!

EDIT:I'm happy and all but where am i suppose to put that.

[MidnightGladius]

If you couldn't tell, it beeps once every second for 10 seconds and then explodes, dealing damage. No time or ability for GRP work :)

[Kawagata]

as indicated above. how do i get this to work? like specifically. Cuz this is a death scene isn't it?

[MidnightGladius]

Alright, in my mod http://www.warboards.org/showthread.php?t=20484&highlight=vengeance,

Lockdown is replaced by the Timed Demo Charge, which uses the Optical Flare flingy.

If you mean you don't know how to iscript at all, then try and start with something a bit simpler, like adding multiple attacks or nifty attack patterns.

If you know iscript but not how to use what the script above, just extract the files from my mod and take a look yourself.

[Kawagata]

i'm don't have much scripting knowledge but enough. how did you add buttons? I thought memgraft and stargraft don't work well... I mean for DropShip and Science Vessel.

[U-238]

If you mean add attack buttons for them then they already have them. Just give em a weapon and attack animation.

But if you mean any other sort of button then memgraft is the only way to do it. (stargraft will work too but you'll have to back patch further if you want to use it than you would memgraft.)

[Kawagata]

wait so high templar is the only one without an attack button?

[U-238]

The hightemplar, dark archon, medic, and a zerg unit (not sure which one but, if I recall correctly, it's the queen?). None of them have attack buttons.

You can give all but the medic attack buttons in memgraft and they will function as normal. However the medic's healing is hardcoded in as her "attack" so no matter what you do she'll always heal instead of attack.

[DarkMirror]

theres also observers, defilers, science vessles.

And Lurkers... when above ground. ;p
