ParasiteX Posted August 16, 2000 Share Posted August 16, 2000 hey guys, whenever i make a scenario, the enemy troops are just lined up at the edge of the map. How can i make them move down a road and stuff, you know, script type things? thanx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disaster@work Posted August 16, 2000 Share Posted August 16, 2000 You can't script per se but if you give them objectives (the flags) they will to their best to head toward them. In preview mode you will see the flag(s) (little or big)on the map. Right click on them and in the popup menu choose Place. Then you can Place them anywhere. You do the same thing with the units. Right click and Place. The menu also includs a Rotation which I find useful. Also, you can Lock the units to the positions that you place them in and whoever plays your scenario will be forced to use those positions and so will the computer. Also pay attention to the Zones (one of the three modes in the tile scenario mapper). They should be fairly intuitive. The zones describe where the player (AI or human) can Place his troops at the beginning (if they are not LOCKED) that is. Read the manual for that.

Disaster@work Posted August 17, 2000 Share Posted August 17, 2000 Try and buy a copy. The makers of this game are just two guys and their computers and have bills to pay. They're not Microsoft. If you don't buy a copy they won't make games like this anymore. ------------------ ---- To download my scenarios: go to http://www3.telus.net/pop_n_fresh/combatmiss/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfish Posted August 17, 2000 Share Posted August 17, 2000 Did you d/l it from a warez site? If so, I know of a way to get the manual. ------------------ Wow, I've had the **** hit the fan before, but never like this...

Guest ACTOR Posted August 17, 2000 Share Posted August 17, 2000 Try buying the game like the rest of us. The manual does a pretty good job of answering most of the questions that I am sure you will have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bill Wilder Posted August 17, 2000 Share Posted August 17, 2000 It means that the gentleman has a valid point, Parasite. I think to fully enjoy the game one should purchase it. It is money well spent....Wild Bill ------------------ Wild Bill Lead Tester Scenario Design Team Combat Mission-Beyond Overlord billw@matrixgames.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disaster@work Posted August 17, 2000 Share Posted August 17, 2000 I should also point out that the manual is a very good one. i.e. it isn't just a rottenly thin PDF that you read once and throw away. This game deserves and has a thick manual that not only covers how to play the game but its philosophy, strategy and history. The writer should be congratulated. It adds a lot to the value of the game and is worth every bit of its purchase price. I don't want to add more hectoring but piracy shouldn't be directed to these people of all companies because of their size. How much more direct of a relationship can you have with the software makers than here? You're not stealing from a fat publisher here. ------------------ ---- To download my scenarios: go to http://www3.telus.net/pop_n_fresh/combatmiss/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
