NPC Characters Not Capturable

posted on December 28th, 2008, 2:14 pm

Is it at all possible to add a setting to NPC in the map editor so they cannot be captured... so like if im making a map and i got Feds as NPC none of their units can be captured...

Regards,

Mark

hm there would be an odf command to make them neutral to everyone, yes, but if you still want them to fight you would have to make a new race for them

well right now ive got a map, i got feds with a couple of basic stations that is acting a section 3 secret outpost... but if someone chooses borg i dont want them to be able to capture the whole base as it would be unfair on the others... i want to make it so that they either take the more risky path to attack the others or go through the middle and capture certian things in return like an extra moon set and say maybe one station... but you cant set them individual units to be captured and not captured unless making a whole new .odf set which means everyone has to have it.

since you have modded Armada so much and already have an .odf command and also have added obviously a new front to the Map Editor to deal with how your .odf work, could you not just add as an option to that side panel?

p.s. whats the keyboard shortcut to rotate your team in the map editor again?

well i guess it aint that bad since the borg are nto a rushing race and take a while before they get assims so not too big a problem, still think you did an amazing job on them even there start game is weak...

just nea the end spam spheres with pure phasers and tactical cubs with pure torps and then lots of borg nanites and ya sorted
